Blacksmith513 Posted January 26 Author Share Posted January 26 2000m 10mins on Rower and 10 minutes of stretching. Pulled the old washer and dryer out of my parents basement yesterday on a dolly and that got me winded. Used to be able to run up and down stars all day with heavy stuff. Was also 193lbs this morning. My weights gone up again not down. One job a few years back i spent a good couple hours carrying 2 at a time 60lbs bags of concrete down stairs. I don't want to work like anymore but i want to get back into that kind of conditioning. Gonna have to ad some GPP back into the mix, even just sledge swings, kb swings and sandbag carries. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Along the same lines...I was thinking I need to dust off some slam balls (20, 25, 50, and 80lb) I have downstairs. Saw Brian Alsruhe demonstrate something called a "Teddy Bear Squat" a couple weeks ago and was like...that looks interesting. Just curious what you do for "sandbag carries"...are you literally picking it and walking around with it or doing squats/lunges in place? I don't have a lot of space so that's why I'm thinking squats... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s hard I only have so much time in the morning but I’ll figure something out. Look up David Horne doing teddy bear squats with what I think was a 54kg circus dumbbell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think I found that video..."David Horne 54k DB Teddy Bear Goblet Squat to floor & back up". That's way, WAY more advanced that what I was thinking. I was envisioning seeing which side of my 12" x 14" x 16" plyo box felt "right." If I went down to the floor I may not make it back up again! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah...if I can grip even remotely like David Horne at 60 (or lift an Inch dumbbell like Odd Haugen at 70 (not for reps like him...just lift it period) I'll be doing AMAZING. These legends are still killin' it... Truly impressive and inspiring individuals. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing with rep schemes and weight a little every week, seems to be going well. Just got back from the scrap yard... Dump truck load.. Was only $96 and we will split it 3 ways but its more money towards my inch and blobs... I MAY buy the 115lbs inch too. We will see. Then i'd have 115-135-154-180... Roughly plus or minus 20lbs increments 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then i'd have 115-135-154-180... Roughly plus or minus 20lbs increments Those increments sound awesome. Manageable but meaningful jumps from one to the next. In a perfect world I'd need something around 161.5lb to bridge from my 145 to my 178. For me, 154 seemed just a little too close to 145 to make it worthwhile. (Or at least that's how I rationalized skipping straight to the full Inch purchase. hahaha) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very close to him and have always admired him. Served 9 years in the Navy, has lived pretty clean and is incredibly successful. So not sure how accurate my maxes are for the NN 3x4 as that really has me shook up. All we can do is think positive.. If he needs anything i'll drop whatever im doing to go help out.

Thank you I hope he moves here to Boston to be with his family and gets the best treatment. But that’s out of my control. All I know is it’s in his lungs and lymph nodes. And they are doing more tests. He never smoked. All I can think of is what he was exposed to in the service. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blacksmith513 Posted January 31 Author Share Posted January 31 Nothing wild tonight just 2000m on the rower and 20 minutes of stretching... Between my back and arm feeling beat up. I think next week i'll take a deload. I'm proud to say I haven't missed one weight training workout in over a year now... From July 2022 to January last year I didn't miss one until I went Colorado and took the week off. But since coming back haven't missed one. I'm going to try and keep that going until next time i go away. But when i do end up missing one its ok, life happens. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
