Well, got in another back and Bicep workout. I am working on upping the step count and intensity at the gym. The ankle is holding up good, only tender in a few spots and all but one bump of swelling is gone. The prescribed 3 weeks of recovery seems to be just about right and i was religious about ice and rest the first two weeks. Hoping the pattern holds.
Light weight high rep dead lift this morning plus a few isolation exercises. Good workout!

Lots of loaded lunges and stepups yesterday in a Heavy Pack 2.0 workout. Today was full body strength training. Started with some mobility work to warm up. Then ass to grass lunges, rack pulls 5x5 - 325#, bench, pullups.... Tomorrow will be Knees Over Toes stuff as a flush day. Friday will be another HP20.
Next week, we'll keep rolling with the same through Thursday. Friday morning we'll get up early and head northwest to see if we can get into some elk Saturday and following.

I don't usually plug stuff, but I'm gonna plug MtnTough+. These folks are putting out the best fitness stuff I've seen, and I've seen a lot. Their app subscription service is worth every last penny to me. They are lots of workout routines that you can choose from (adding more all the time), and now they're adding a rehab program as well as a mobility program that you can do as needed or on a regular basis before/after your regular workouts. They're also about to roll out a daily workout deal that will give you a new workout every day going forward.
If you sign up with this link, I get a free month. Or you can just go to their website and skip my referral. Either way, if you're looking for some new fitness programming you really should give these folks a look. I'm beyond impressed and pleased with their stuff.

I've taken the last couple days off after getting home from our elk hunt last week. I'll say that we were not limited at all in what we could do on our hunt. Our preparation and conditioning all summer was spot on. We covered 4-10 miles/day with 30# packs up and down hills with no problems at all. Day 1 the altitude difference was noticeable. We huffed and puffed more than normal, but were still able to go all day. By day 3 we didn't notice the altitude at all. We were only at 7,000', so I'm sure it would have been a little more of an issue had we been at timberline. But our leg and lung strength was as good as I've ever had going in to a hunt.
We plan to dive back in to similar routines of MtnTough, weight lifting, and a little Knees Over Toes stuff mixed together.

Physical therapy has increased my exercises and are starting to allow me to do more things as I've gained more more strength back in my knee. I've started doing the elliptical for 5 to 7 minutes at a time once per day. That doesn't seem to be bugging my knee so that's a good sign
