I hit the gym after I got home from Wisconsin. It's handy to have the gym 1 block away from my home...:lil guy:

DB squats x4
EZ bar curls x3
Lawnmower pull rows x3
BB hip thrusts x4
Seated row machine x4
Preacher curls machine x3

Skipped the cardio. After working from 5am to 1:30pm and then driving 4 1/2 hours home, I just didn't have it in me...
 
Chest/triceps/shoulders day:

Military press x3
Shrugs x3
Floor press x3 (failed 2nd set rep 7 and continued drop sets)
Side delt raise with bands x2
Front delt raise x3
Tricep pushdown x3
Tricep extension x2
Farmer's carry x4 heavy, and did not fail before completing 150 feet each set! Very pleased with this!

Overall, a very good workout. Will probably be paying for it tomorrow though... ;)
 
Has sleep problems past 2 days.. so didnt have the energy to exercise during/after work...

Today I was able to though..
Went on a ruck march today. 60lb ruck.. not far, approx 4 miles, but fast and hard in hilly terrain.
This stuff is getting easier the longer I do it..
 
Ok. I'm just trying to come up with explanation for your leg soreness or not having soreness...
Just starting to get better conditioned I think.

A 4 mile loaded hike is nothing to sneeze at, in any terrain. :thumbs:

Lots of stretches this a.m. but ended up hurting my shoulder.
I have to do a lot more to get rid of the pudge. This working from home has not helped my figure. Too hot to ride a bike here.
Going to check with insurance co. see if I can still get cardio rehab exercise time.

Patch glad to see you here again and hope to get back myself,I have been in a rut lately and need to get back to it,I still do a little but not enough. Getting a stomach from not exercising.Gained at least 2 inches.
 
Took yesterday off from exercise. My sister is back from Turkey and just got out of quarantine so I went to visit.

DB squats x3
Lawnmower pull rows x3
EZ bar curls x3
Barbell hip thrusts x3

Lat pulldowns x3

Leg press machine x2

According to the Ortho Surgeon, I am doing everything I'm supposed to be doing.
Lost only 1 pound this week, but I can see my piggy toes(grand daughter calls my toes piggy) without much swelling.
Been pricing recumbent bikes.
It's been hot and humid, so walking inside as much as possible.
Doing stretching exercises, just as long as I get no charlie horses inside ankles.
 
Saturday I was supposed to hit the gym but got lazy.:confused:
Today Gym is closed... was gonna run but then I got tired and cat napped around noon ..

So now in the evening I knew I wasnt gonna have a good week (minimum 4 workouts) unless I did something tonite..
So went on a nice ruck march.. short (4 miles) but fast and heavy through hills

Walking up and down small hills with Strawberry.
At least she's getting her girlish figure back.
Her harness is getting loose.
We both are working on stretches in the cool of the morning.
We walk several times a day, just not when it's really hot.
I have tendency to pass out if I get too hot.
Nice, slow and easy pace for me though.
 
Today, Thursday, is I must admit, the first time I exercised this week.
Having some sleep issues so I lack the energy for it..

Well today i came home early from work and slept for 2 hours and then went.

A Ruckmarch fast and hard with 60 lbs through the hills.
Feels great to have it under my belt.

Hard times are coming, best get ready...
 
Short workout in the hotel room. I decided not to use the hotel gym due to unknown sanitation practices. All exercises done with lighter weight/more sets and reps than normal...

1 arm floor press x4
Lateral delt raise x4
Triceps extension x4
Shrugs x4
Shoulder press x4
 
Just got back from a Ruckmarch. Only my 2nd exercise for the week so I am badly behind.
Had the sniffles a bit yesterday so didnt do a thing.

Even so these ruckmarches I feel are a perfect prepper workout.
 
Did a nice solid run today. : )
