    Decided I need some remedial rehab. Bruise from May is still an issue, Back, knee and shoulder flakiness, and trouble walking.
    I'm clearly not active enough.

    Hope to get back on the LP train soon as I don't think I have a lot of clock without it.

    On my travel days I went to a lake in Wisconsin I've been going to for over 30 years.
    My walking was so bad that I did not participate in the "group walks", I slept poorly due to shoulder and back pain.
    My goal is to reverse this, and get back to more "reliable" LP program, where I'm not always both injured and over trained.
    I'd also like to take my 2 year old grand daughter to the zoo.
    So far I think I am closing in on these objectives. Time will tell.
    The backwards sled pull is the opposite of the push up, and had greatly reduced the pain of going down stairs.

    It may not be a fools errand if I can get back to squats and deads without pain or injury, and am able to recover reasonably.
    Truth is, I have been too inactive outside of what little lifting I have done. Prior to that I had walked too much.

    I am hopeful. Weather will force back to my garage gym soon enough.

    Sorry to hear about the pain issues. I have found that using bands to work out seems to be a way to keep the muscles moving.I bought a pretty good set up on Amazon for about 25 bucks.

    BrooklynJerry: Thanks! I'll have to look into those. Used some in the past for rehabs and swim training.

    Mr. Bingley: Thanks!

    Wt 262
    Pushups (full) 6,5,6 ***almost +1 (probably should have skipped a day)
    Rucking w/trekking poles 262+16 = 278 / 42 min / 4200 ft (0.795 miles) (1,1 mph)

    Appears to be time to cut the alcohol, outside of that my diet is pretty good.
    Time will tell.

    Thursday wt 262 was likely 267 (or so) prior to 40 minute ruck

    9/19/2024 Thursday wt 264
    push up (half) 5 scheduled off day thought I'd throw in warm up type set

    9/20/2024 Friday wt 262
    Push up full 4,4 (was going for 7)
    Push up half 11,15 11 was continuation of set 2

    Diet: cut alcohol, and way back on starch and sugar.

    Recovery: Ruck was much harder to recover from than I anticipated. Yet if felt like it did a lot of good.
    Plan a sled pull tomorrow and a similar ruck the next day.

    BrooklynJerry: Thanks!

    In retrospect, I should have started with about half of the rucking I did. Still struggling with recovery.
    But, that workout really moved the chains. But I need it to be sustainable. A single workout is never the answer.
    Diet has been much better... especially the "liquid portion".
    It looks like rucking will be part of the solution.
