Another health and fitness thread anyone?

Happy birthday! After you sober up, check in on the team thread, eh?

 

I did enough drinking in my 20's to last the rest of my life, so I've almost given it up entirely. I'll have a drink or two in certain social settings but that's about it. So, no sobering up needed!

I'm also on a kick to try and eat more organic foods and damn is it expensive! So far I've converted my milk, butter, coffee, eggs, and most fruits and veggies over to organic. Supplementing that with mostly venison and elk meat and I'm doing pretty well. But every time I want to buy organic chicken my bank account starts crying and I just can't bring myself to do it.

Thinking about getting another freezer and buying local chicken and beef in bulk to save some money.

Now I just need to find organic Oreos and I'll be set.

 

Deadlifted yesterday with some extra core work and conditioning. Installed a squat rack in my garage today. Time to start getting i. Some extra workouts at home with my wife and okder boys.

 

That’s great. Your boys will get off to a good start having that equipment and your insight and experience to guide them.

Yesterday, I had my 13 year old do a deadlift, back squat, barbell lunge and farmer’s walk workout. Everything thing was 75-80% of his 1 rep max for 8-12 reps. The athletics program at school had him start lifting last year.

My middle son started lifting this year, so I did 1 rep max testing with him on deadlift, back squat and overhead press.

Took it easy with some simple, light workouts last week with making a change in programming starting today. With the addition of the home gym, I am starting to do my heavier lifts at home and focus more on conditioning during my lunch break workouts. Set the alarm for 5:20 this morning was in the garage gym warming up and lifting from 5:30 - 5: 50am.

Today at home:
Landmine Single arm alternating press w/rotation 4 x 8 per arm @65lbs
Strict Overhead Press 4 x 8 @110lbs

30 min Lunch Break:
Treadmill Sprints @10% incline 10sec on/ 50 sec rest @ 10.3, 10.3, 10.5, 10.5, 10.7, 10.7, 11, 11, 11, 11 mph
Med ball Slams 4 x 4 @18lbs
Bench Press 3 x 8 @155lbs
KB Pull Overs 3 x 12 @50lbs

 

Nice start to the week!

I was running a little late so I cut my usual 60-70 min workout down to 50-ish this morning. 5 min stretching, 30 min stairs / 226 flights, single leg presses and calf raises was all I squeezed in after that.

Tomorrow and Weds may both be home workout days. I'm thinking I'll do a spin class tomorrow morning and kettlebells on Weds.

 

Monday's workout was supposed to be on Sunday, but, I went hunting instead. I combined Monday and Tuesday's workouts in to one workout yesterday to keep today as my rest day.

Tuesday;
Squat Jumps 3 x 3 @BW
Hang Cleans 5 x 3 @85, 105, 120, 120, 120
Front Squats 3 x 8 @120
RDLS 3 x 8 @120
Pull Ups 5 x 5 @BW
Barbell Row 3 x 8 @120
Barbell Curls 3 x 8 @60
DB Hammer Curls 3 x 8 @35

 

Push ups x 25
Bench Press 3 x 8 @155lbs
KB Pullovers 3 x 12 @50lbs
Rope Face Pulls 3 x 12 @60lbs
Tricep Pushdown 3 x 8 @90lbs

30 seconds of jump rope after each set for conditioning, 13 minutes total for the workout.

 

Bc of work then elk hunt then another huge work exercise, I had 4 weeks off from the gym. I’m under 200 and hate it. Need to get back over 200. 2 something to do something. Gym this week has been a smoker but awesome as well. I was missing it. For the elk hunt we did 10-15 miles every day. For the second work trip, we were only getting 2-3 hrs of sleep. So trying to get sleep and work out with a good diet is the name of the game.

I'm usually fighting to stay under 200 lbs, not over it.

Worked out Monday and Tuesday pretty hard and I'm sore today so I'm resting. I will hit it hard Thursday and Friday to finish the week out.

I know it's warmer than I'd like for this time of year, but with the low humidity and temps dropping off quickly in the evenings it's been super nice outside. Coaching football in the evenings has been great this week, although I won't be sad when hoody weather is officially here to stay.

 

big volleyball guy - on Monday we played a double header with 5 people.
Both went 3 sets and I'm a try hard... my legs are still burning

 

205 - 210 with under 15% body fat is what I want. I am genetically designed like a runner so it is a fight

Took most of last week off with a bad head cold. I took Tuesday off from work, which is pretty rare for me to do. I hiked about three miles yesterday doing some last minute scouting and putting out a trail cam. Today was the first day of working out in a week, light upper body.

Bench Press 4 x 8 @155lbs
KB Pull Overs 4 x 12 @40lbs

Rope Face Pulls 3 x 12 @60lbs
Tricep Press Down 3 x 8 @90lbs

I am going to do some shoulder work in the garage gym tonight after my son's football game.

 

Hang Cleans 5 x 3 @110lbs

Snatch-grip High Pulls 4 x 6 @100lbs

Front Squats 3 x 8 @120lbs

Barbell Rows 4 x 6 @100lbs
DB Lat Raise 3 x 12 @15lbs

I had intended to do a 30 second Assault bike sprint at the end of each exercise. However, I woke up with just the slightest bit of congestion still from this lingering cold so I skipped those not wanting to exhaust myself and have it come back. Tomorrow is a scheduled rest day. Hopefully, this last of this cold will be gone and I can start the intense conditioning again on Thursday.

 

I'll be 50 in a couple months. Been pushing my pushups and got 50 recently. I've also been able to do 10 pullups. I'm down to about 220 so I'm pretty happy.

 

This is how powerful cigarette smoking can be. We had a guy at my work nearly die from a heart attack about a month ago. He has been a big time smoker for a long time. He told me the pain that he experienced in his chest was horrific and that he would never smoke again. That lasted all of two weeks and now he smokes just like he used to......
