    Several hours of ass busting yard work over the weekend.

    1/28

    10 min treadmill

    DB Press
    20s x some
    30 x 3
    40 x 2
    50 x 1
    55 x 5 x 3 <--definitely can do the 60s

    DB Rows
    35 x 8
    65 x 20

    Goblet Squat
    35 x some
    65 x 10 x 3 <--this is way light probably but I was correct about my DB split squats--my quads were very tender for several days.

    Two Handle Cable Pulldowns
    30 x some
    50 x 8
    60 x 8
    70 x 8 <--tough

    This felt good, I'm really trying to feel good most of the time as opposed to max my gains, and it's working. It's possible I end up just doing dumbbell stuff other than 2-3 times a month at a barbell gym when I can get access. I can see this working out for a few months at least.

    Made a #45 backpack sandbag yesterday and hauled it around a little bit.

    1/30

    BW=220 still, but it's fitting better

    5 min elliptical

    Goblet Squat
    40 x some
    60 x 5
    75 x 10 x 3 <--I am enjoying half assing my squat very much. As long as the numbers move and my legs feel tired in the appropriate way, I'm happy. I also think these squat variations really highlight and help any weird deficiencies. Squat/Deadlift is what wrecks me, and I no longer need to be wrecked--my knees have seen some things over the years. I'll try to creep my way back to a #400 squat in, say, 5 years.

    DB Bench
    40 x some
    60 x 6 x 3

    DB Farmers Walks
    150 x half the gym (so, maybe 250 feet)
    150 x 1/3 of the gym (losing my grip, turned back early)


    Frisbee golf, mile and a half or so

    2/2

    5 min elliptical

    DB Press
    25 x some
    40 x 4
    50 x 1
    60 x 5 x 3

    DB Rows
    40 x some
    75 x 20 <-- the left took some doing

    Goblet Squat
    40 x some
    75 x 10 x 2 <-- I am lazy, but this did feel hard

    I'm just glad I snuck in a workout at all, with the Superbowl tomorrow it isn't gonna happen.

    Dieting,tracking meals and stuff. I am finally old enough to do this with some level of discipline.

    Trying out some loaded carries a la Dan John.

    10 minute sandbag workout
    #45

    picked it up, walked up and down, did squats and presses, rows--basically just kept moving for 10 minutes. Fun. I need a heavier bag.
