Thanks Brett. Means a lot coming from a squat master like yourself. Wish my form was as good as yours.

Nice of you to say so, but IMO he who squats biggest, squats best. This aint figure skating there’s no marks for presentation.
I’d swap my form for your numbers like a shot!

Cool! Good luck.
The Kennebec Ice Arena (near Augusta) roof collapsed a few weeks ago. Lucky no games were going on!

The bench looked good but your going to have to tell me what the 60 day challenge is. Is it add one a day for all three until you get to day 60?
Yeah, just read that too, hehe.
Joe, it said to add the 3 movements to whatever program you were doing, do it everyday, adding 1 each day, by the end you will have to do multiple sets throughout the day, of course, but just to get them in.
there’s the link to it.
Well there you go Joe. Thanks Ogre.
I just read up on that 60 day thing, sounds interesting. I’ve always been a great believer in the “lumberjack theory”, how you adapt to whatever you have to do everyday.
Will you be taking body measurements? are you doing it for size or fat loss? because they said it’s good for both.
I will be following along closely.
Brett,it sounded cool and I’ve been missing a lot of workouts so I thought I’d try it. No measurements or weighins. And I can do it at work.

I was pumped to get outside. Carrying, pulling, sprinting…then it friggin snowed again. WTF. And its like 10 degrees colder then average. Wah,wah,wah. I’ll be back out there next week.
My youngest and I were in Saco, Maine all weekend for a hockey tournament. They ended up winning it all. The Comfort Inn we stayed at didn’t have any weights or anywhere to do chinups. I tried to rig up something in my room but nothing worked. Got home yesterday around 4 PM and got outside for a workout. I was so dizzy/nausiuos afterwards I couldn’t think about doing chins/pushups/lunges last night. I felt like I was having bed spins after a night of drinking.
3/27
stone carries/farmer carries
5 (pathetic) hill sprints
3/28
chinups x 14
pushups x 14
lunges x 14
I saw on Joe’s thread that you are on day 14 of the 60 day challenge. Are you getting the chins in one set? Like you I just started and I started with 1 each not 10 like Joe-the-stud.
What was up with the spins? You’re not coming down with something, are you?
All in one set so far George. I will have to split it either tomorrow or the next day. I’ve been doing these at work before I sign in. Good way to wake up.
Skip, I think I’m just way out of shape after a long winter and I had a very unhealthy weekend. After the workout I came indoors and lied down on the floor. I couldn’t close my eyes because the room would spin. My wife and kids asked me if I was having a heart attack. I guess I wasn’t.
well, i’m glad you didn’t have a hear attck
