Ok, I will play too. Will be 45 this summer, 5'9" and about 215-220 lbs. I am not as aggressive with my lifting as I typically lift alone, self employed and don't have workman's comp.
1/2/2010 - Today was a cardio day apparently. After clearing the driveway of snow, I took my plastic sled into the woods (.5 miles) and dragged out about 100 lbs of wood. Next loaded youngest daughter into sled and gave her a 2 mile romp in the snowy woods. Grabbed snow scraper and cleaned off a large section of our pond for some ice skating. Made a dozen trips from the wood pile to the house to fill the wood box for the stove.
Maybe tomorrow I might try a few weights.

I saw this same thing in Rocky 4...
You are doing REAL work Al...I will stick to weights in my climate-controlled big box gym. I wouldn't last out there.
Keep it up.

Nice Al. A true Maine workout. I went up north last month
and cut, split (with a maul), and put in the basement 2.5
cord of wood in 2 hours. Was the strongest ive felt in a
long time!!!

Snowshoes!!! So glad to see someone else that likes them. We finaly have enough of a base to make the shoes worth wild. Hopefully I'll be pulling the boys this weekend. I use an old climbing harness belt. Clip a beaner to each end with a throw rope and pull them on the trails. This year should be tougher...they've grown. 3 miles on shoes is a nice haul. Good work!

Al,
I like the way you think! Now, if I can convince myself that bottling the newest batch of my home-brew beer is somehow cardio, I can skip the snow shoveling.

I've been wondering about something similar. Since I have gained like 20 lbs in last two years...I have noticed my ability to motivate my body has severely lagged. I can dead over 500...but cannot do a dip or chin better than a highschool freshman.
So...incline pushups, how are you doing these? Are you just powering through them as I kinda used to? Or going for quick and smooth?
And how about wall handstand pushups...anyone else working these? Any thought about them helping with throws? I am thinking they couldn't hurt as long as you are being dynamic...right?
Thoughts?
Anyway, you did all that after the hike? Wow.

Dave - ran out of time in the morning so did my dead sets in the evening. I do the pushups in sets of 10 so they are still smooth but not too quick with a wide foot base for stability. Sets of 10 let me do them without my form going causing back issues. I hate benching and these simulate what I would be doing with incline bench. Also I have just 1 bar and that was already in use.
Handstand pushups, while cool looking, are basically an inverted body weight military press.

Sun shining, 60 degrees in Southern Maine, loving the weather.
3/6/2010 4 hours of lawn work, raking and hauling. Of course I did finish this workout in my adirondack chair taking in the late afternoon sun with a beer or two.
3/7/2010 Few hours of cutting and splitting wood. Hiked with the fam up to the top of our local mountain to take in the sites and enjoy another beautiful day. Re-acquainted myself with my stones. Took a half dozen throws two handed from each direction. 6 or so throws from braemar and then another 6 or so with my 23lb stone.
Hammer winds with light hammer - 2 sets of 10 from each direction. WOB - few easy tosses with each hand. Ground a little squishey still for good footing.

Only had that 1 session so far. My work has kept me extremely busy to the point that no practice or lifting time and then still yard and exterior house work before summer company comes. Hoping for a session on Friday.
Will see my Dad this weekend and he has a 2" steel pipe for me to use as a fat bar. Will I need to line that pipe with some smaller ones for more strength?

I've had about 300lbs on it with no problem. At Doc Rocks house he had it up to around 550 when it failed. It was Derek Hurley pulling on it and it just waved like a noodle then bent. Given the location and the lifter I doubt I will ever put any where near the needed force on it. One thing I did with the set up I had at school was cut it down to 4'4". I disassembled an old bar put the pipe over the bar then re attached the sleeve. That also worked well and would probably even hold up to that crew.

House has been put back together. Just needs paint, might actually have some time to train and throw again.
Power Clean w/ 2" Axle - 105 1x5, 155 3x5 Over Shoulder Tri Ext (each side) 50 1x10, 70 1x10, 90 1x5 Cable Wood Chop - 90 1x10 Bent over Row - 70 1x10, 135 2x5 Curls - 70 1x10 Axle Deads - 155 1x5, 195 3x5. All done with overhand grip. Seems to stress out the thumb a bit. Does this go away when the hand is used to the larger grip or is is a "suck it up and drive on"?

Braemar Stone Sheafing Axle Deads - 195 2x5 double overhand no straps, 285 - 1x5, tried overhand and could get about 10 inches off the floor before grip gave out. Switched to over / under no straps for this set. Wider grip seemed to stress out my underhand grip arm much more than it does on a standard bar. I think work the double overhand more with lighter and save the heavier with straps to avoid the over / under.
