RE: Tune up(yourself)
Germ, you're not one of those big on top, but chicken legs guys are you? You need to get some more leg blasting in there.
Your workout is very similar to what I did in college except we scattered core exercises throughout the week and dedicated one day to legs. It was always fun walking downstairs the day after legs.[8D]

The Goal is to get 325 lbs bench pressed
I have been working my core like a SOB, really have been focusing on my balance.
Jeff great job for an old fart, way to be commited to a lifestlye change

RE: Tune up(yourself)
I dropped 27lbs since April. Haven't done any special diet or excercising. Just making better food choices and portion control. Been stuck at a plateau for the past 3 weeks though so I'm looking to change it up. I need to work in some more excercise but it's hard with my schedule.

RE: Tune up(yourself)
Hi all.
If I can interject some of my opinion on the topic. I see some plateaus being discussed.
I also see workouts w/ 25 plus sets per body part. If these are being done at heavy weight , you're overtraining IMO. It may work for some but not for the big majority of poeple.
Try this when you've hit a plateau...
Train you're fast twitch muscles. Do sets of 15-20 w/ lighter weights for 4 sets.Pyramid up , but maintain 15 reps on the last set.EXPLODE your reps. Don't be sloppy.
Only 3-4 exercises per bodypart.
Abdominal work everyday. High reps , body weight exercises only.
Whatever you do, LIGHTEN UP for a while.

RE: Tune up(yourself)
Im down 20 lbs from last season but I still need to drop another 10...... I need to get back into a weight program a couple days a week and step up my cardio......
I agree with you on being in shape making for a more enjoyable hunt.. That's especially true if you are mobile and hunt a new area every day!

RE: Tune up(yourself)
I have weighed 205 for the past 15 years. I wear 34x34 pants, same as I have for the past 15 years. I eat well and get regular exercise but I don't have any set routine. I don't hit the weights, all of my "strength training" is from working HARD at work when I'm not sitting in front of this infernal machine! I run a couple of times a week for cardio. When I run I put in 2 miles. I'm going to be 47 next month and consider myself to be in OK shape for my age.
