Another long weekend in the Lou rains looking for elk. Knees and ankles faired much better this time around, though quads are a bit more and my right IT band was problematic over the weekend.

Considering I was out hiking hard chasing elk around from Friday afternoon until late Sunday afternoon (where I hiked 10+ miles with 3,000+ feet of steep climbing) and getting up at 5:30 am each morning, I felt pretty damn good in the gym today.

Another weekend of hard miles in the Lou gains looking for elk. Bodyweight has dropped down to 205# (down 10#) but bench Press was the only thing showing that today. Squats felt pretty good despite taxed hips and quads.

-heading out for 10 days of elk hunting mid week next week, so 3 more sessions and the. It’s back to LP leading up to snowboarding season. I will say that doing a cycle of Barbell rows has noticeably strengthened my mid back for deadlifts. That used to be the compromised area of my back during deadlifts and it’s been feeling rock solid the last several weeks.
