Good news.

I finally got hold of this quirky dude that I'm supposed to riding out to Colorado with for the holiday...

I have been cramming tons of stairs and run/hikes in this week
I went nutz at the end of last week with the hiking after work.
and pushed it too far- too fast after my surgery...
Ended up getting a little dehydrated- mixed with the wrong food last Sunday
and puked for about 7hrs straight on Monday.

Worked out weakly tuesday, but it wasn't how I wanted to start the week
especially with a somewhat ambitious climbing trip coming on this quickly.


So i'll be gone till next week!

I'll post whatever snapshots I get from the mountains.
Hope Katrina II doesn't hit up there

I had been trying to bulk as much "pushing" muscle as I can
B4 I do the next major event...

problem occurs when I go out on a week of climbing in colorado...
and lose MUCHO calories...

I will get ripped though -


as I said my pressing strength is improving
but. my pulling strength (anything involving heavy bicep usage)
just plain sux

too bad cause my back used to be my strong suit.


ah, fawk

Training:

Ran 6.5-7mile mountain loop today..

It was hard, but I was free running this loop in the spring w/times in around an hour...
I ran at 1:17 w/my UL Pack today,
and I think thats right on par w/where I was last year...

let me see if I can calculate the loop and/or elevation

LAST WORKOUT BEFORE GC DEATH MARCH

Got home from work late and couldn't run to the tower road like I wanted...

I did this loop from the park near home...
It's about 5.25miles total
and has a crux elevation gain of about 450ft,
then a drop, then another 250ft climb.
(so, say 700ft total in under 3/4mile)

Google Maps

Retore the Bicep last week (again)

Whatever the surgery was- this quack performed...
It certainly isn't healing, only repeatedly re-tearing.

I've had it, now another surgery!?!?
I just got my INCL BNCH back up to 225x12

and after the retear it feels all scary and heavy again.

I'm PO'd dangit

Still went to the gym today...

And after the surgery, my goal will be to bulk back up a bit, as I wont be able to run or hike (get dirty)...

I may even retro-post my WO's in my journal, and of course post the recovery journal stuff!

thanks for stopping in!

Its trult hard to be working out above the KEFE level with a partially torn Bicep...

I want to be a serious part of the group here, but feel myself failing
as of late...

My will to expand my lungs and be strong cardiovascularly
often superceceds my bodys ability to perform it seems
gosh how I wish I was 29 again ( under the toutalage of Pfunk)

I was a... just "gut" "balls" strong powelifter
and a "work through the pain" Weightlifther.

Add those to lat years MMA training, tire flipping, ETC
it all = badass...

But now I feel like a wusssified sissiynanny.

Yep, and thats it

I cant lift suddenly (push press)
I cant lift DBs (cause I have to hoist them)
I cant pull in any way (lats)
Cant curl in any way
Cant hit shoulder DB work too much

ETC, ETC

Its BB bench and thats about it...
and trying to break plateaus is scary and Ican feel it in in
anything other than the middle ROM of the lift

Dont even go there...

I'll cook most every BB on this site!

I run 5-6miles in the local hills dodging rattlesnakes and heat exhaustion.

When was the last time you ran 6 miles with an 1100ft climb and some fist sized loose rock thrown into the trail just for fun?

I wish I could still do 300WO's and tire flips and splay drills.
but i'm a'skeered to do fast move stuff.

(Plus i've been hashing)

Although I took a nice slam, this weekend, promptly fracturing the middle toe on my left foot...

My plan:
Go on an involuntary bulk until I can run again!
