Bench

95X10
115X10
135X10,10,10,9,8

Chin ups

10,7,7,5,5,4,5

Notes:
Bigger jump on the bench than planned. I miscalculated by 10lbs. Looks like we got ~ 50lbs to go. But I only have a few more weeks before I take 3-4 weeks off. But this was a nice start to it. Eating more, doing less cardio, I think I've gained a pound.

20 flights on the Sledding hill with the 40lb vest


Notes:
Had a bourbon yesterday first drink in months and a migraine was triggered with the hill workout. Last time was a bourbon as well and the time before that it was red wine. I hardly drink as it is, because my wife stopped, but these migraines will make me give it up all together.

Very interesting! Must be the alcohol your body doesn't like? If wine does it too I can only assume. Perhaps beer is more of your friend =)

On the Migraine forums dark spirits and red wine are cited as the moist common precursors. I haven't had a problem with light beer. A lot of the migraine folks also report low incidence with Vodka.

That's good! If you're going to drink beer, I say stick with craft beer as they contain more pure ingredients compared to mass produced corporate beer.

There is no part of my chest that isn't sore. Ring finger on ring.

30 minutes on the Elliptical with a 20lb vest and 10lbs ankle weights, highest incline, hardest resistance.

Notes:

Recently I've spent some time hiking difficult terrain, steep ravines, crossing rivers and the like. I was in good shape for it, but the weight of the heavy insulated boots was a weak spot, so I'm going to be adding the ankle weights to the aerobics going forward.

1 minute rest.

Notes:

The Elliptical is boring but at least with the 40lb vest and the 10lb ankle weights it feels like I did something. It's not much though, I should be doing 45 minutes.

Not sure about the CG bench as a triceps finishing exercise, we'll see.

Upper back is really sore from the T-bar rows.

Hammering the protein.

Took a weight yesterday after work, 175.4.

I'd like to put on a few lbs.

My primary goal is to not get hurt.

I have been successful at not getting new injuries. It’s the old injuries that seem to keep coming back to visit

Ain't that the truth!!

[Buckfever]

One thing of note. Triceps were plenty sore from the CG bench and they never get sore, so I think we'll keep that movement.

It's a good one!

The trick is to not let your elbows flare out, keep them tucked in as you bring the bar down to your chest and also don't let the barbell hit your stomach, keep it up higher on your chest. You'll feel a whole new level of pain but your Bench Press will start increasing. What is better than that????????? =)

Any good hunts lately??

Any good hunts lately??

I had the target buck at 24 yards and I mistook a sapling for the crease. I killed a tree.

I don't get to hunt very much, work is too heavy. I am doing some prep work for next year and helping out a buddy to do the same.

Yesterday we hiked 8 miles over difficult terrain, numerous river crossings up and down steep ravines, it was awesome.

I just really like being out there.
