When I signed up again at my gym back in 2021, it was merely to have access to a 180° sauna during the cold months here in Ky. I use it to get loosened up before working out, and it is quite helpful when the lows are around 10° for a month straight. You're doing some fantastic work, Jerryjeff. Most people would not be thinking of adding sandbags to their routine, however you have this mindset that says "let's do more." |

Saturday was a decent workout, with 700ft on the sled, followed by 5 reps on the flat bench at 135, 185, 205, 225, and 3 reps at 235.
Tonight will be more sled, tricep pushdowns, butterflies, and leg press. |

Glad to be back, hope you guys had a great Thanksgiving.
I went to the family camp for the long weekend, ate a bunch of terrible but delicious food and did some shooting and hunting. I took two days off but got in my miles and push ups the other days. At this point, I just need to knock out 700 reps for the next 25 days and I can slide into Christmas week with the goal of 200K behind me. Let's all finish strong! Keep Grinding. |

Getting back into the saddle this morning after a weekend largely off from pushups to spend some time with extended family.
Ate a ton, made 100lbs of venison and pork sausage over the weekend as well! Time to put the nose to the grind stone and get this done. |
