Hunt Talker 2023 Fitness Goals

[jryoung]

Five months post knee surgery, outside of a spring bear hunt, I'm actually starting to train for the fall.

Sticking to mostly flat ground carrying around a pair of tires, one rubber and on my back the other visceral and above my waistline.

Proselytizing for the Cult of CrossFit.

Scaled the rope climbs because I don’t have ten of em, but suffered greatly and shaved 2 minutes off my previous result.

I've been hitting the stair stepper most days, drinking my mtn ops brotein powder, bicycling around town, and doing HIIT every other day.

Also trying to limit my time on Hunt Talk to only a couple days a week. Mental Health is as important as physical.

I've carried dog food, chicken food, weights, chains, and water, but the tire just works. It flexes, leans and gets caught on shit that just makes it feel realistic.

My goal of 800 cal rowing workout in an hour by May 10th did not pan out due to several mood episodes and med changes. 650 is the closest I got. Since then I’ve put on 10 lbs related to meds, sleep trouble, and low motivation.

I took vacation the week of the 4th to re-roof my hail-damaged house and garage as a solo project. Tearing off 2-year-old shingles was brutal. In 10 straight days I averaged 14-hr workdays and knocked out the project. All in all I lifted about 25,000 lbs of shingles.

This helped rebuilt my motivation to work out regularly, which I continued today by making a redneck weight bar:


I moved out from the garage so I was less-likely to maim someone or impale something if/when my setup broke. Did 40 mins of dips, lunges, clean, jerk, shrugs, step-ups, side shuffles, and curls. Sweaty and feeling accomplished

I signed up to a half Ironman today, so my goal is to not get injured before the event (9 Dec 23) and enjoy the 'race'! I'm building a base by swimming 1.5 hrs, biking 3 hrs and running 3 hrs a week until I head over to WY Sept 23. Then plan to increase this training Oct - Nov to get race ready. Its a great feeling to sign up to an event and get back into training.

Just got back from my three day roadie to Cody in Yellowstone Park drinking beer and whiskey like I got a quota eaten Dairy Queen and restaurant food and had a 24 hour turn around today before we leave to Sheridan Wyoming in a couple hours for another three days of Cowboy Sturgis at the WYO Rodeo , so I came to do the run I did I think on Saturday the day before we left I shaved two minutes and five seconds off my time and increased my speed from 6.7 to 7.1 after being a complete lush !! I think we’re on to @Big Fin , apparently mountain shape just comes from Dairy Queen and beer!!!
Time to change up your training strategy boys

July 8


Today


I just looked at the elevation loss and gain and I don’t know how I lost that, unless right before the last straightaway I got off the trail justice 100 yards sooner and just hit the straightaway but I’m still confused

Back to look at my track on onyx I started at a different spot on the bottom Saturday. That’s where my 20 feet of elevation went

Passed 13k/hour row today and 14k/hr is actually attainable now. That was preposterous at the beginning of this year.

Best I’ve ever done rowing is 2K in just under eight minutes at my CrossFit gym, it totally gassed me

It’s ok, most Crossfitters believe kilometers are longer than miles so you probably impressed the peers. Oh, I jokes, for real that pace is a sprint.

Heavy lift workout #2 Sweat nearly a gallon.

Being a hopelessly addicted western hunter that lives in the flatlands of Florida I will be spending lots of time (2-3 hours/week) running/power walking on a treadmill as inclined as it gets with a 45lb weight vest. We call it the treadmill mountain workout, it’s a mind numbing brutal hour!

 

[BoulderBulls]

8 weeks to high country mule deer hunting!

Not pictured 2600 vert on the stair stepper Monday

 

[DouglasR]

7/10-7/16 run 6.32 ride 108.51
Didn’t make the race in Michigan because I was afraid it was gonna get rained out and I didn’t want to drive 3.5hrs to camp at a trailhead so I went to Tennessee and got a dope cabin in the woods.

My son got into town yesterday at noon so he said dad were doing a Crossfit Workout you’re taking me your gym or I’m going by myself first day back in the gym since July 6th
And the first time I’ve worked out with my son in years and years it was a fun day

 

[Stocker]

I’ve been trying to run a bit. It’s kinda funny because I used to be anti-running. It’s kinda my “quiet time” now. I get up about 3:30 and run as long as I think I need to. I got 16 miles last week. Some days feel like 2 mile days, some days I quit because I need to do other things. I got 6 miles Saturday morning and that seemed to be about my max.

 

[El Jason]

Four sets of 6 reps with 265 on the deadlifts today.

 

[MNElkNut]

Did a 3 mi ruck on Sunday and then worked on my lakeshore. Redoing our riprap. rocks. more rocks. I think they grew since I put them in. Seemed much heavier; I think they were water-logged! back hurts today. At least I was smart enough to have a young buck tackle the big ones!

I had my cast removed and started doing some bench press and pullups this past week. Still have to take if fairly easy with another 2.5 weeks of no weight bearing before I start PT. Amazing how fast muscle atrophies, right leg is looking like a chicken leg.

Incision pic before stiches were removed. Hid the big pic in case someone doesn't want to see, but I suppose you can still see the thumbnail.

Spoiler: incision
