Tyler's last log: Lifting, Hunting, Fishing, Growing & Living

[PhiSig2298]

I've had plenty of logs in the past and they always fizzled out but I'm going to give it one last try. Like the title says,
we will discuss a lot of things that are important to me. For those who don't know, my wife and I have two boys (4 year old and the other turns 2 next week) and a baby on the way. I love to hunt/fish, growing my garden, raise cattle, and lifting while living in the middle of nowhere Oklahoma.

My lifting schedule is a 4 day Lower/Upper. I'll get more into that starting tomorrow.

[PhiSig2298]

I plowed my food plot area yesterday and will seed tomorrow. I'm planting a clover/chicory mix and I have close to 20 acres of soybeans just north of me. Chicory and clover will give the deer a lot of extra protein that will help antler growth and milk production throughout the spring and summer time.

I also set up my trail cam go get the movement of the turkey on the land and got some great pics! Season opens April 6th.






The two toms in the back are what I'm after! Not many things are better than wild turkey breasts.

[WMLifting]

Hope all goes well!

Iv'e never had wild turkey. Heard it's "greasier" than store bought. How does it match up?

Thanks!
I've had great wild turkey and then not so great. Since they're wild, they can dry out pretty fast so unless you're smoking it or using an oven bag to bake, you gotta be careful. these guys have been corn fed for the last year or so, they'll taste great. A lot of wild game's flavor depends on what they've been eating.

The regular incline is way to steep, IMO. I use my incline press at a very slight angle; only go up one notch on the bench. It also allows for better power and has better carryover to flat.

Agreed. The regular incline put a lot of pressure on my shoulders. I'd grind out a couple of sets and ask myself why I would even do them on chest day. This feels so much better. I've also caught myself being able to use a wider grip which makes my pecs fire more, or at least feel like it. It's always nice to have soreness the next day, even if it's just a mental thing.

I shot my new bow today about 50 times. Workout in itself!





I'll be planting/transplanting our garden on Friday after these storms pass. The next 36 hours will be pretty severe stuff. Anyway, I'll be planting tomatoes, red/russet/sweet potatoes, onions, numerous peppers, cauliflower, cabbage, lettuce, radishes, black beans, strawberries and watermelon.

Well the Weatherman lied. The storms went north so I shot my bow some more and got the place ready for my youngest's 2nd birthday party on Saturday.

Seems like we get a new calf every day now. We had one born 2 weeks ago today and the momma didn't make it. It was her first calf and she struggled during the labor. She wasn't producing milk either so I'm not sure what was happening. It's just one of those things but anyway, my oldest has been bottle feeding it everyday before and after school. I was worried about her the first few days but she's growing like crazy now.

Not since last November. I thought I'd get more traffic over there but I've since realized that I just have boring logs..


Updated forecast has a chance of frost so no garden until that crap is over with.

Pretty boring meals lately so no food porn.. I set out one of those turkey breasts to thaw and brine. I'll smoke one of them in the next day or so. I also need to check my trail cams and set out a mineral lick for the deer.

I woke up Thursday with strep throat so I've been taking it easy all weekend. My last real meal was Homemade Tacos on Wednesday



It's been jello, mashed potatoes and chicken broth the last few days. Felt good today so I'm going to try lifting tomorrow and eat something

[PhiSig2298]

Attempted to lift but I just couldn't do it. Started breathing hard, which made me cough, which made my throat hurt. Went back home and shot my bow instead.

Ate some eggs today for lunch and a PB & honey sandwich and[b] ice cream[/IMG] for dinner. So much for micros..




I'm certain that I'll be able to lift tomorrow.
