sore wrist from setting up my race skis... pushing the back binding with din of 14 and tweaked it... skiing tomorrow morning - day 3 of season...
well now in december and this is my month to recover so just lifting when i feel like it...[/QUOTE]
skiing! nice
been dumping pretty good all day in jackson. going up for a hike/ski tomorrow morning.
The U.S. is in a huge dry spell across the nation in regards to snow on the ground.. no major winter storms yet. Don't know how this bodes for the rest of the season.. either going to be a harsh and longer layover into spring, or bland and dry.
Colorado was amazing.
Glad you're getting to ski, what do you do in regards to tendonitis in your arms and pullups? My pullup endurance and strength has greatly diminished due to it.

well since i am shrinking and all packed and a couple hours before i head off on vacation... thought i would fit in my last workout for the year... ideally would squat but 6 days of skiing ahead of me so better not...
dead... going to have some good doms for travelling...
back to a routine in the new year - pretty determined after the time off...
Good little session to end the year man. Enjoy your trip! Pics and vids when you return are a must!
Good finish. Have a nice vacation
Have fun on vacation in the snow. Good call not squatting before 6 days of skiing. Some pretty solid upper body volume to finish the year.
expecting a good ski vid from France :)

Kind of like arctic ease wraps, but a cheaper generic brand.

It's not as cold as an ice pack after a few times you use it, but it still feels great. If you use it in conjunction with an icepack it's like a whole new level of cold.
Also nice session. Good stuff with the RDLS, and your average bench session is better than my best session haha.

Well upped the squatting reps and then added another set at 100... also tried to rep 80... happy with all that to say the least!!!
Pullups started off real easy... and beat last weeks total...
shrugs still easy but happy with volume...
debate is to go to 4 sessions for a weeks next week... will see how this week goes...
fitness drive is fully in swing from today...
impressive squat volume dude. and cool video man
[QUOTE=BenT;1009673013]impressive squat volume dude. and cool video man[/QUOTE]
thanks... yes the vid came out well...
got the new go pro black to try on my next skiing day too...
volume was good... just easing back in to squatting properly...

What i felt like doing[/color][/b]
2900m run
12 year olds training for cross country... we ran their course with set races and walking parts... so intensity was higher than normal but i stopped and chatted and discussed how they run each bit of the course...
those are some beastly RDL volume set!
so time for the kids to beat you down with endless conditioning/cross country?
as mentioned earlier, liked the vid (or at least posted in the ski thread). funny, I almost used that first song on my last vid
