it is shocking sometimes - how much everyday items weigh
vs nicely balanced barbell and plates.
training outside is awesome
I miss running - solely for that reason
in college we trained outside -
and dragged bars and plates out to the track or hill
and mixed it up

Must have been fun working out with a group. Sometimes it can be difficult to be motivated working out alone. But logging in this forum helps.

I have no idea how some of you guys curl so much. Definitely something I need to work on.

Haven’t really gone heavy with legs for a while so I kept putting 45’s on the powertec until I didn’t have any more. After the heaviest set I was dizzy for the rest of the workout.
New Hampshire Lifter? This whole time I thought you were a hockey enforcer!
Great work, BTW. You’re one strong Yankee! And I will always read your name as NHL Fighter.

Ha,ha NHL fighter. How did I not see that. The only time I’ll fight is if someone takes my lunch. I was in your state today. Hit the Kittery outlets. Your welcome for my tax donations.

Hiked Cardigan Mountain in Orange, NH. Thought I was going to die. My kids left me in the dust. I’m definitely not conditioning near enough.

Always like the feeling after a workout. All tired and mellow.
Nice work-
tired and all mellow- that must come after the puke and gasping feeling…

Only time for one exercise tonight. Hopefully finish this workout up tomorrow.

I’ve never really tried push presses. I’m surprised how much I was able to get over my head. Not sure there will be any carry over to strict MP but who cares.
I think push pressed build more power and I think there is a nice carryover to the strict MP over the long run.

Feeling a little flat tonight so I lowered the reps and upped the number of sets. Seemed to work ok.
Always wanted a bowflex because it looks so cool.
you can load push presses -pretty high
behind neck pp even more so…
nice work
GV, I use it for assistance exercises. Comes in handy.
Kev, you sure can load the push press. Like 20 lbs over my MP max.
