Got the yard mowed, cleaned up all the dead leaves, pine needles and pines branches. Then cleaned the shed out and got my sons toys out and our patio furniture. Was a nice day out.
My second day for week two training program from couch 2 5K. Set a new best pace and distance. Pushed hard today.

I've been fighting a mild cold past few days. Took a few rest days to avoid weakening my immune system.
Gonna try to run today after work and get back on the weights this weekend.

Sunday
Woke up after a good nights sleep and saw it was nice 50-60s out this morning so laced up the shoes and went for my third training run of the week 2 sets. Was doing good till the last running circuit. Legs were jelly and had to stop it 10 secs early.

Did some leg and arm work outs
And then rode recumbent bike 15 mins on rolling hills setting got 4 miles.
My right knee on the inner part of the leg was sore/hurting this morning when i woke up and still is a lite sore tonight. So did some of those exercise to strengthen my muscles around the knee. Ill probably wear my knee brace for tomorrow run

Squats today. 315x6, 405x4, 425x8, 455x3, 475x2.
Getting darn close to 500 again! First time in probably 8 years. But my form and depth is way better now.
Id like to hit that for 2-3 clean reps by June, then transition to some hardcore hiking with weighted vest to be a cardio machine by Sept

I just signed up for the Chicago Marathon. I will be doing it to raise money for St. Jude. My little cousin suffered from leukemia and it is very clear how devastating this disease is. I am not one to ask, but if anyone is interested in donating here is the link...

I am also doing a half-ironman in June, but that is not for St. Jude unfortunately...

I like your workout Fit. I worked my way up to 650 before retiring from Powerlifting. I completed for 20 years. It was awesome, but kids starting needing more of my time, thus I just lift and run to stay in shape now. However, every once in awhile I like to throw several plates on per side just to say I still can! lol
Great job!

Marcus, Which app are you using?
Tuesday: I did Chest and Traps. Short on time due to work travel.
Tuesday: I did Chest and Traps. Short on time due to work travel.
I've been swimming 5-6 mornings/week, around 90-120 min 4000-7500 yards which translates to 1000-2000+ calories or so, depending on intensity and condition, probably more initially. Arm strength has come a long ways, but I need to start in on the weights. I started dieting in August at 263 lbs and got down to the mid 220s before starting to swim, and now have gotten to 210, but went from 40-42 pants to 34-36 so shrinking size but not dropping a ton of weight now. I want to get down to 185-190. Also do spin class one morning a week for 45 min which I find hard. Bike calculator says 700-800 calories per session. I also try to do 22 stories in the building I work, at a good pace most weekdays once or twice per day.
For those that haven't tried swimming it can really help with calorie burn and hip flexor strength if you kick (especially with training fins) and isn't hard at all on knees/hips. Shoulders are another story.
My question is for guys that have trained for hunting and do a lot of up and down, what leg exercises or programs have been the highest yield for making the loaded up and down hikes easier? Lunges +/- weight? High weight vs high rep back/front squats? Hip machine?
I plan to get back in the weights to fight through swimming plateaus and want to have a good leg plan for hills to mix in with upper body stuff that is focused on swimming faster.
