        burned my neck at the range last friday with hot brass & have been using that as an excuse to slack off on continuing my GORUCK Challenge prep work.  the great thing is i feel like shit without the random workouts  >:(,  so i will be attempting a more structured routine sooner than later. will keep all posted

        zee i always took you more for a  Big John Stud or Bob Backlund kind of guy.

        that whoa!!! was motivating . . .

          Jody had some brass land right between the "girls" last Saturday…me and the two guys (that I don't know) in the next lane had a pretty good laugh at her expense

            thanks Monday, kinda feeling like King Kong Bundy after hitting the scale this morning, need to jog more I think?

            I always try to remind myself that weight isn't really everything and the way you feel and the way your clothes are fitting etc is much more important. Along those lines, things are going well out here in CO, but dropping 20 or so is really not as easy as it use to be that much I am certain of…

            Doug, you take your "girls" to the range? People give me some pretty dirty looks when I take Ryder  😉 😉 😉

              Anybody get to the point where they've burned out yet? Every three months, I take a week off to recharge the battery

              I used to work out six or seven days a week, long hard workouts. Then I started to notice that I would either plateau, backslide, or get a cold out of nowhere. I was pushing my body too hard and my body pushed back

              Taking a week off also helps prevent injuries from overtraining. I just took a week off a few weeks back

              Z: Jody comes with me 50% of the time. She's a pretty good shot, and if anyone gave a dirty look at her at the range because she's a woman with a gun, she'd probably leave a ring shaped burn mark on them 🙂

                  Last weekend, I asked her what she'd like to do for Mother's Day Weekend

                  Answer: Iron Man 3, shooting, BBQ

                      today I went for more of a where am I at approach to the work out

                      7 exercises 25 reps each, just body weight. 3 rounds

                      lunges (prison style)
                      jump squats
                      push ups
                      supermans
                      jump squats
                      squats (prison style)
                      double crunches

                      great stuff!

                      Also, started DDP Yoga yesterday and I am pretty stoked on it. Mixing Skogg, DDP and Big Z work outs I think we are starting to get somewhere. I'll keep ya posted.

                        I'm pretty sure Tabata means "eff you gaijin" in Japanese…

                          Yeah, Doug made a good call on the DDP/Skogg combo.  Those really compliment one another well.  Thanks for that, Doug.

                          (And thanks for the Tiger Balm suggestion, too- my wife just laughed when I said I was going out to buy some, since her mother apparently used it for everything; aches, pains, sprains, hangnails, warts, indigestion, whatever…)
