Step ups holding an overhead plate really suck.

Step ups holding an overhead plate really suck.

Been doing 5 sets of 20 each leg up to 16" twice a week just bodyweight. A little too easy today, thinking about adding some ankle weights.

Do the overhead plate. It forces you to use your core and it doesn’t allow you to lean forward into your step.

I'll give that a try. I'm always looking for ways to include core into as many excersices as possible

 

[TwistedSage]

Sounds like that will be a good addition to shoulder and back day too. I don't really have a dedicated leg day I just try to include a 5 set high rep leg excersice into every one of my workouts. I alternate light Weighted squats, step ups, Weighted lunges, and jump rope into my bicep & core, tri & chest, and shoulder & back splits.

 

[TheJason]

This was today’s workout.

Do squats, teapots (with 45 lb KB), row sprints all consecutively, then 30 sec rest. Repeat for four sets, then go to step ups, lunges, pull aparts. Do all three consecutively then 30 sec rest. Repeat for four sets.

It’s an ass kicker. I’ve worked up to 195 on the squats. Goal is 225 by September.

home gym? I literally only have a sand bag and some random rocks. We're all "Rocky" here in the canyon, minus the music and results.

I'm doing it again. I started it over the winter and then had to stop after injuring my hand. They generally always kick my butt. Their mobility work is also really good.

Im in the best shape ive been in since I left active duty 10 years ago. Im running 80 miles per month and lifting 5 times per week. Im doing weighted weekend ruck walks too

 

[Nameless Range]

Today’s attempt at fitness resulted in a blood sacrifice to the House of Gains.

10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 reps for time of each:

Pullups
Dips
70 lb overhead KB swings

The old adage of you can’t outwork a poor diet is basically my autobiography. But I keep trying.

Man you got to take that ring off when lifting like that. You trying to lose a finger? Get yourself a silicone one for working out

 

[Little Big Man MT Chris]

I’ve been doing CrossFit here in town 4-5 days a week on average,
Since last Aug .I also started doing CrossFit my last year in Oregon before moving to Montana, I’ve lost 4 percent body fat and have put on at least 4 lbs of muscle in the last 6 months , I’m doing another body scan at the gym to track my progress July 6th
I also take GNC protein powder, to make sure I’m getting over 100 grams of protein 5 days a week

I like CrossFit because they have a great program, I don’t have the knowledge to build a body correctly or the motivation to workout solo , CrossFit has a great community and is very supportive, so when working out with lots of people helps ya push through the grind . I’ve even competed in a CrossFit competition this year , the workouts and done in an hour and they get you in great shape , I’ll be 54 in just over 2 months , and I’m built like I’m in my early 30’s

I put myself through this pain , so I can hunt anywhere I want with the idea I can hunt as hard as I want into my 60’s and be above average in my ability as an older man and if I hike in somewhere solo , and I dump something I don’t ever have to think about can I get it out , I know I’m ready for whatever, and on the positive side the old man still looks great in his jeans

We run , row , bike , kettlebell, dumbell, box jump , wall ball, pull up , push up , sit up , front squat , back squat , rope climb , etc etc



Here’s todays suckage

My goal is to get my 6-pack back, but I just had a large sourdough doughnut and snickers.

Looks like @DouglasR and @MT Rookie aka OR Chris are going to have a shirtless contest on this thread.

all jokes aside, you're crushing it for 54. dang

 

[Dougfirtree]

Yeah I ran 3 50k in 13 months and everything was fine until that last race. I got hurt, but didn’t stop, finished DFL. But I was left with severe nerve pain until October of 22 (11 months later). Which sucked bc i was loving trail ultras, was in the best shape of my life and then boom! All over. Couldn’t feel most of my left leg at times

Eek. I've been enjoying getting back into running this Spring. I'm up to 3 mile runs and that feels pretty good. I think I have the cardio-vascular ability to run longer distances, but no way would my muscles and joints take 50k, even with the low-impact style of running I use. Of course, I'm 47 and weigh more than a few stone... In any case, I feel like I'm getting good exercise and I'm not injuring myself (so far) and I do really enjoy running.
