Great work on that shoulders/bro session! Big OHPs and deadly super setting. Dips +105/chins +45 SS is so badass and then going into the curls/skulls had to have the arms screaming! And looking like you lift .. your delts are exploding through that shirt
And you're allowed to skip leg day for a 14 mile hike Is that Grand Teton? How long does the hike take?
Lol'd at the golf vid .. would imagine they're wearing a few big bruises from the occasional slice

[lonniej]

The hike sounds like fun, enjoy and have a great weekend!

thanks man. great session, great pump, great DOMS this morning

And you're allowed to skip leg day for a 14 mile hike Is that Grand Teton? How long does the hike take?

indeed that is the grand in all her glory. more pics to come. the hike with rest stops, lunch, pics, etc should be 8-10 hours round trip. i've done it without my wife and going up the face and down a trail called huckleberry in about 6 hours before but i'm not sure how many times we will have to stop today

Lol'd at the golf vid .. would imagine they're wearing a few big bruises from the occasional slice

i can't even imagine how disasterous the mi****s are

You are getting some great work in!! Strong lifts!

The hike sounds like fun, enjoy and have a great weekend!

thanks tim

yep, saturday was a beautiful day for table mountain shenanigans

Love all the hiking pics, can't wait for the writeup.

thanks man. here you go; enjoy!

my wife has expressed interest in climbing table mountain for a number of years. i think she may have been a tad overzealous after last weekends' obstacle run but she said she was up for it and we started off early saturday morning. i have done this hike several times, usually twice a year, but never with her and i normally take a more difficult but shorter route up the face



this is directly above the parking lot. you can see vehicles parked towards the bottom, right hand corner. elevation is roughly 7,100 feet but gains 400 feet in the first 1/2 mile



a pic of my beautiful wife while she was still enjoying the trip. this was a little over a mile in and just a really pretty spot with the changing fall colors



this meadow is notorious for moose activity and we stumbled upon two bulls and one cow. i was busy snapping pics of one bull with the cow laying down until my wife said "watch out dummy, there's one right in front of you". kind of weird to see bulls still paired up this time of year but they be trying to get that cow mirin'. he's hiding to the left of the rock in the center



in the middle of the red circle there was a small black bear cub scrambling around. not a great pic but he's in there somewhere

[howimliving]

this is a small clearing and the transition from end of the meadows and into the beginning of the switchbacks. the little nub that looks like a nipple is the final destination



another pic of table mountain from the top of the first set of switchbacks. the summit is circled in red. elevation here is ~9,000 feet



after a long traverse this is the final push that was really nasty. my wife had definite signs of altitude sickness, ie: drop step, dizzy, complete lack of breath, etc. the summit looks close but is deceiving. it is nearly a mile away at this point and took over an hour to reach it. she would literally take 10 steps, rest for a minute, take another 10 steps, rest, repeat



finally coming over the crest. she made it!

[howimliving]

the view to the north from the top. this is all part of caribou national forest inside of teton national park



looking down and across teton valley and the majority of the second half of the climb



and the one everyone wants to see, the grand teton on a sunny day from the summit. she is one bad b*tch. willsummitnextyear/10

summit elevation

stats: 15.7 miles total, 4,118 foot elevation climb, base to summit-5 hours, 23 minutes, summit to base-3 hours, 14 minutes

[jjeane]

WOW! Quite the weekend there. Beautiful scenery and lots of effort there! I take it wifey wasn't smiling quite as big at the end of the uphill hike??

[Woody-5]

Mirin the hell out of that hike

So much win, views look epic

[RyouBakua]

15.7 miles in 8 hours 30

dayum. great stuff. you guys rocked it

that altitude is really something else.


so i take it this is a park that everyone over there hikes?

[Juicemw]

gorgeous scenery + good workout = biggest win.

[MatTheCur]

I gotta start thinking about hiking. We don't have any HYOOGE mountains 'round these parts, but still. The pics you guys are sharing are insane!

Hike looks crazy man. Mirin the pics! Definitely need to make it down there ... I have the Rockies in my backyard, but it would be cool to see some different peaks!

[jshaw5]

I'm not much of a hiker, but that seems like you guys were moving at a strong pace.

I gotta get off my ass and start doing some hiking, the pictures that you and Woody have been posting are incredible.

correct. wifey was not nearly as excited about the whole ordeal once it started to get difficult. but, with lots and lots of coaxing, she did tough it out and make it to the top

Mirin the hell out of that hike

So much win, views look epic

dude, it was such an incredible weather days that the views were unbelievable. now we just need some snow over here to really make it worth it

15.7 miles in 8 hours 30

dayum. great stuff. you guys rocked it

so i take it this is a park that everyone over there hikes?

thanks man. we clipped along at a pretty steady pace; nothing record breaking but short and consistent rest stops. altitude was a killer

not necessarily everyone but the teton valley is literally jam packed with outdoor enthusiasts and the majority of the trail is located within teton national park. combine those things with probably the last weekend of great weather and you have lots of hiking traffic

gorgeous scenery + good workout = biggest win.

thanks man. good to see you single slayer man

I gotta start thinking about hiking. We don't have any HYOOGE mountains 'round these parts, but still. The pics you guys are sharing are insane!

get on it bro. i even included some frenchy french in there for you

i didn't realize you are in calgary til now. you def have some awesome areas in that region. there was a couple from canada that stayed within a few hundred yards of us at all times. they debated quitting several times and the wife said something like "ughhh i just want a cold diet coke and cheeseburger so bad". i was like "well you can get one at the top in the restaurant and then take the tram down if you're really tired".

yeah, we did aight for time but nothing spectacular. i've done it with bros much faster but it was just as enjoyable carrying my wife. rolleyes.jpg

you stay busy enough that i doubt you're just sitting around on your arse but try to get out there man. i'm not much of a serious hiker either but i do like it when there is something awesome as a reward at the top, ie: epic fresh powder, amazing view, double jointed brunette mattress thrashers with free margaritas, etc

training notes-
f*ck regular deload week format. i prefer just doing heavy singles

non-training notes-
on the days that my wife works she has to leave the house at 5:30 am so i'm in charge of doing the girls' hair. sometimes she gets crunchy when i make our youngest daughter up like a boy. well, game on!

^^^^ I laughed when I read this
I've been there so often myself .... that scree field at the end looks terrible though .. no-one would find that fun but I have to say that the view at the end is just awesome. Good move to skip legs and do that hike!


I like your idea of deloading with heavy singles ... 280 bench deload = nice
And tell your beautiful daughter she has a cool Mohawk!

Might wanna get a dna test brah... little girl is a lot cuter than you.

[lonniej]

Great pictures...Thanks for sharing!

[moshvr]

Nice "deload" session. Heavy singles are way more badass anyway

[Juicemw]

Unless my body is feeling super fatigued I often take my deload week, or part of it, to tinker and adjust and try things. Feel you there buddy. Nice pics

[MatTheCur]

Ah oui. Les tétons. On aime ça icitte, les tétons

[jjeane]

Deload=Heavy singles! I like it!
who could think your little one is anything but cute as can be!! I love the mohawk!
