As it should be. 'Twas more epic than I could have ever imagined. Can’t WAIT to go back. And yes, I WILL go back!! Might even get my wife to come along on the hunt!

Ok, I’m outta here, hopefully I don’t die tonight at the gym.

The power of the blue wildebeest compels me!

How the hell did you set up this trip again? Craigslist ad posted by some SA locals in the AZ section??

Quick summary if you don’t mind…

My aunt’s late husband was a big game hunter. I’ll try to find pictures of him next to mountain goats (they weren’t goats, something else larger that i don’t know the name of), tiger, leopards, etc. And they had those old school Ottoman shotguns with the super long barrels.

Duuuude…

You went, you saw, and you killed!!!

Awesome trip man.

Ink that is awesome dude. Glad you had an epic time. old picture, but relevent to the trip.

A trip of a lifetime…
Thanks for sharing!

Haha Ponce, no actually my dad had set it up initially, and my brother and I worked with him and the outfitter to finalize everything. I’d love to see some old school hunting pictures, they have this aura about them or something that makes them even more awesome.

Dove, I did man. Thanks

Herc, that pictures it hilarious, old or not!

MiM, glad you enjoyed reading about it!

I hope to be getting a few more pictures today, so I’ll throw them up if I do.

Made it to the gym last night, wanted to ease back into training. ME Lower, because let’s face it…I don’t “ease” into anything :wink:

Squats
135 x 10 x 2
185 x 5
225 x 3
255 x 1
275 x 1
295 x 1
305 x 1 +5 lb PR
*I kinda had a competition going on in my head with the jokers half squatting next to me, and it motivated me to push it a bit

rack pulls from mid shin
135 x 5
225 x 5
275 x 5
315 x 5
365 x 1
405 x 1 Pretty sure that’s a PR
425 x 0 x 2 Fucker wouldn’t move, I shouldn’t have tried

Face pulls
3 x 15

Pinwheels
3 x 12

That’s it. “Easy” session, but effective. I’m sore as hell today, looking forward to benching this week as well.

Way to hit a PR in your first session back.

Two PR’s during your first workout back? That’s what I’m talking about

Why not, right?

Thanks dudes.

PR city when youre first back in the gym?! Hell yeah! I definitely know where you’re coming from with the competition in your head with the half squatters. Do you get weird looks too when you’re burying your squats? Haha.

it’s never an easy session if it includes a PR.
good job Ink.

Yeah I got weird looks Clax, like “Jeez, look at THAT guy doing those weird things” Idiots.

N, thank you very much :slight_smile:

Very DOMSical right now. Mostly my upper and lower back though, I’m sure the ass and hams will start burning in the next few hours. Yay!

Quarter/half squatting just looks ghey to me lol. Burying them is much more badass.

Warthogs in the foreground, wildebeests in the back.

Just add bacon :slight_smile:

Zebra and eland, doing their own thing


Little impala herd


Ostriches

Oh hai!

That’s it for now. Still waiting on pics from other people’s cameras
