I agree. Lots of strong dudes getting stronger and quick! All we need are matching T-SHIRTS!

What I love about the Bulldozer is the concept fits within a workout, it's not THE workout. It's very versatile. Props to BTB for it. I will look forward to seeing how you use it and what it does for you.

PS - PWO SHAKE: 2 scoops whey + various vitamin powders, ice cream, farm fresh egg, 2-3 cups of milk and Hershey's dark chocolate syrup!

Thanks Jdmalm. I have been switching up my approach lately to fit my mood - rest periods that is.

I'll get everyone their matching t-shirts before the 1st annual MAB bash this fall at Glwanabe's house.

I'm liking any shake with ice cream, btw.

You're welcome. I have my checkbook and Navigation system on standby...

HIKING

~10 miles, 3.5 hours.

It was 25 degrees. Windy this time so it felt colder than last week @ 16 degrees.
Buddy and his husky made it this time. They slowed my pace a little.

Food today since waking up at 7am: 2 eggs, oatmeal, one cup of coffee only.
Gorged myself at Wendy's. After dead lifting Friday, light eating yesterday and hiking this morning, I was starving.
That may have been it for the day though. I had to have downed 1000-2000 kcals at once.

Current weight: 179 lbs.

Wendy's sounds good right now. I give you credit for all the hiking you do. My back door is on a steep hill. We have to walk about a quarter mile up a very steep road just to start walking. We never seem in the mood to do that

Thanks. Wish I had time to go more than once per week.

Steep is the way the hike starts. We pace ourselves because that initial incline can take a lot out of you. Long Island is a glacial deposit and the north shore is where all the big rocks and debris were dropped...about midway, it levels out and is woodsy. The south shore is all sand.

-Calves are fine from hiking, but I've had sinus congestion since Saturday.

-Felt amped today. 75# fronts were light...will increase them 10# next week.

-Did the RDLs with 25s instead of plates. Touched the floor on each rep. Increased ROM and grip = 3 mini-sets.

Hope you're not getting sick. Btw, what's a saxon side bend?

Do you perform much high intensity cardio, or strictly limit yourself to walking/hiking?
