I’m not pushing myself any harder than I feel comfortable and she’s got great critique of my form. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't have the numbers right in front of me but basically a novice under the age of 40, with over a year of training should be able to get within 80 or 90% of their body weight.

If your setting goals for lifting start by achieving body weight you'll be in the top 10% of the population. 💪 then start sprinting... not running ..... sprinting spikes heart rate and brings back to resting state jump starting your metabolism. If you'd like I can post a "hurricane" workout on here for you to try. But I highly recommend doing it with someone else because mid way doing it yourself you'll need a push to keep going. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 64,162 #184 Posted March 18 I’ve been in the gym every week day still, with the kids. It’s been a great experience, and Rylee is a great coach! With her current low back injury, I wonder if she is pushing me because she doesn’t realize how bad off I am, or if it’s because she wishes she can push herself. We do have a plan for Rylee, but medical things take time. Part of the delay is she has a .177 pellet in her appendix, that needs to be removed before they can MRI her back. Yesterday, we did bench press, some super sets of dumbbells, then narrow grip bench press, then this: (Somehow, I made it through the 30 reps in 4 minutes!) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 64,162 #185 Posted March 18 I proceeded to come home, and do active cleaning in the shop. I re-hung the half RJ-58 that was taken down for the rack install, cut and installed two shelves’worth of hardwood, then filled the racks. There are two GM transfer cases on the top shelf via ladder, one of the new stoves we purchased at an estate sale was hoisted up to the bottom shelf, then I relied on the hilo to put up the remaining wood stoves. Moving the old press was no easy feat either. Before: After: 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 64,162 #186 Posted March 18 Today, we did dead lift. After the core workout yesterday, and working around the shop, my low back was sore. Dead lift was a bear! I took 50 lbs off my normal and it was still quite challenging. After some more free weights, we tried this push up workout: (I made it to about 15, some of which I was on my knees. After my arms died, I switched to yesterday’s active plank for 10 reps. My arms are pretty whooped. As are my low back muscles, and all the connected parts 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 64,162 #187 Posted March 19 (edited) Today was leg day. Squats three sets of 8, wall sits, side lunges, and we did the Sally song in the videos above to free squats with no weight. We sprinkled in some sprints and some planks like Betty Crocker. Legs are j-e-ll-o. Oh yeah how could I forget?? We also did 12 20” box jumps, then 10 and 8 24” box jumps. No 30 inchers in my forecast, that’s like waist high! Edited March 19 by Pullstart 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 64,162 #188 Posted March 19 I tossed a few things in the dump trailer and headed off to the recycling yard. It hurt to push the brake pedal! I must say, it hurt a little to send this one off. It was free to me, and I replaced the engine once or twice, but my kids learned to drive a “tractor” on this old thing. 1 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I told her someday you’ll be able to sell the engine alone for way more than that. Last year one of her wrestling coaches gave (me) us a newer Husky with the same Briggs mill with low oil and a broken rod. She swapped the engine and sold it for $800! She put the money to vehicle use, worth her investment and some wrenching time! The Simplicity, it was worn in every aspect, the engine burned a ton of oil, and with the couple two-tree Horses around, it’s been in the weeds for about 8 years. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 64,162 #191 Posted March 20 Today was tough in the gym. We pushed hard, and worked Sally into the bench press. Most of our work out had a little less weight, but more reps, for one less set than usual. It gave us time for Sally to beat us up. I noticed this morning, I’m still holding about 180 after three weeks, but I feel a little less loose stuff on my body. I’m trading fat for muscle. Not only the gym, but working physically around the house has kept me busy. That load of scrap was 2,600 lbs, that I loaded manually. There’s a few pieces of wood to split, and I’m gonna do that too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
