I'll bump the weight up till that starts to suffer, then hold. Added super close grip chins at the end of my workout, for fun. Rest tomorrow, funny, seeing as how it's the last day of the year. Btw I weigh 145-150#, so if add my + body weight exercises you can see I am moving considerable weights. Nearly 200lb chin ups? Yes please.

Cellar Yeti Posted January 1, 2013 Author Share Posted January 1, 2013 Rested today, sorta. Spent most of the day shoveling snow, parking cars, directing people, and doing chores for the rangers here at the park. I start my heavy circuit tomorrow. I am getting a bit burnt out, I am headed for a week off in the next couple weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With no ice on the ground I could have easily gotten 46 minutes. I have almost integrated that extra half mile into my runs and when there is no ice on the ground in a week or so I will try and add another half mile.

Cellar Yeti Posted January 3, 2013 Author Share Posted January 3, 2013 I just checked, re-checked, and triple checked my running route. I'm unhappy to say I miscalculated the mileage, it's only 4.6, not 6.1 like I had thought, I guess I made an error before. Which means I am slow as hell, at least in these conditions. But here is the thing, when I ran at 400ft above sea level at my sisters house in San Diego on the running trail that is 1.5-1.7 mi for 4 laps (or 5.5 to 6 miles), I did that in 48 minutes, the same time it takes me to run the 4.6 up here at 2,500+ ft. My guess is the altitude and the steep hill that I run up along RT. 243 really destroy my endurance, speed and time, coupled with the cold weather makes a 4.6 mile as challenging, if not more than the 6 mile I easily ran in San Diego. Time is irrelevant at this altitude, and on my course, it's all about distance I am finding, because it's so fricken hard to run at this altitude and on these gradients. I will redouble my efforts to capture 5 miles, and then 5.5, and then 6 miles, in my environment, over the course of my next few rest periods.

I like the results a lot more than struggling with them. I'll be dropping my triceps to 3x10/3x8, and raising quads to 4x8. On quads I am merging squats and dips. I am incredibly pleased with my gains and had hoped to buy 50 more lbs soon but mom and I are in a bit of a pickle so I cannot afford to. I'm finding tremendous strength in my Vegan conviction and animal rights and liberation thanks to a very close friend, whom I am tremendously indebted to.

Cellar Yeti Posted January 12, 2013 Author Share Posted January 12, 2013 Another forced rest day. Was supposed to run but there is way too much ice on the ground and it's FREEZING here.
