@Patchouli lol yeah, it's the same lift, but with only a little bit of weight because I've got a bad back. But even with just a little weight, if you do it real slow and really contract your butt muscles and hamstrings while you do it, you'll feel it the next day. If I tried to do what that guy was doing my spine would probably fall out...😁

Haven't posted in awhile, joined a new gym. Lifting heavy again since my 100 mile race was cancelled this year. I'm hitting the smith press machine for heavy squats. Using some of the strongman gear such as axle bars and the dumbbell apparatus.The farmer carry bars are fun. I still use my old gym for their indoor football field to push and pull sleds. I've been using an altitude mask quite a bit and new weighted vest for my bodyweight work. Haven't felt this strong and full in 15-20 years. Normally I'm dropping a lot of weight this time of year for my race. Joints are holding up well. Starting to push my limits, feels good.:cool:
 
@musketjim keep it up! Life is kind of getting in the way of my gym work right now. I need to find a way to step it up...
Life surely interferes, but every day in the gym beats a day wasted. You're hanging and banging brother and it isn't easy. If it was everyone would be doing it and they aren't.

Life on the road is the problem. 8 days out and 6 home. Most hotels don't have much for weights, only cardio. We often work in small towns that don't have nationwide chain gyms like Anytime or Snap. I bring bands on the road with me but bands are limited.

I have a gym less than a block from home, but right after Christmas life got nuts. Seems like there's always something going on. Plus there's Covid, I won't go into the gym during the busy times.

So, I'll keep slogging along, trying to get my workouts 2-3 times a week, and cardio most other days since I'm trying to lose weight. Struggling now but it will get better.
 
I can't wait for my knee to heal up so I can get busy doing things and exercising again. It is almost well so don't want to push it or do more damage like if it goes out and I fall.

But I do move around in place, for now.Do stretches.
