I mainly bow hunt this property and try to carry a pistol along but often just forget in truck if I’m in a hurry or what not

but yeah last thing I want to have fight off or deal with is a pack of damn dogs

No collars - seems to be mainly same pack of 4 sometimes 5 that roam together

Looking back through old photos occasionally some other dogs that look more domesticated but again no collars on those either.

Get a pack of wild dogs running by deer cameras every once in a while. Annoying as hell.

Think there was a thread on this little bit ago but didn’t find via search…

Property is pretty rural, and a bit of drive away so not there outside of around holidays very much. Never seen them in person just get camera pics, couple of them look mean / rabid so wouldn’t want to stumble upon them in the dark walking to a stand

Are there any programs out there (she doesn't care about the cost) that is app driven that allows you to input your stats and literally walks you through your workout each day.


Fitbod app does exactly this, give it a try think they have free 14 day trial
Have you tracked your weight daily throughout this fast?

Could have taken 2 out with my truck in route this am, lol
Only a coyote cruising so far
Heard a couple shots in last 20 mins
Is it any bigger than a wedding ring?

Barely taken mine off or noticed it for nearly 20 years….

Do y’all take yours off to workout?

re: building home gym--needs recs

@garagegymreviews on YouTube has a ton of info on pretty much anything available for a home gym

His Twitter handle is @homegymcoop and he’s pretty responsive on that app

Sure others in here will have good recs, but if you want to go down rabbit hole on it look up above…

Displaced, I have power blocks up to 70, if it calls for something I can do/need more lbs I either add reps or slow it down as slow as I can do…. Always gives me what I’m looking for

Yep it’s a favorite of mine, I go back to it every 3-4 months it seems like.

Dumbbell Strength for me, good change of pace
Alright fellas results are in.

First congrats to all y’all that stuck with it and pushed yourself this month. Whenever I didn’t want to squat again I’d look to the board and get some motivation from y’all so respect and thanks for that.

375 is the number for 2025 Squatober. Used 345 training max. Last year got 360 so +15 = ain’t mad at it. Wanted to try for 380 but no spotters in home gym I reminded myself I’m 44yrs old don’t have anything to prove

Keep those PR post coming looking forward to the lunch and evening reports!

And to displaced listening to the news going for a PR, that is certainly a choice, wouldn’t be mine but respect brother. Awesome job

Cheers fellas
Day 29 done - around 30 minutes.

“Light weight baby” - Ronnie Coleman voice

Prep work all banked now it’s ready for the show! Let’s get tomorrow fellas.

No idea what to expect but we’ll see how it goes for the PR Party

Cheers
Day 28 done. Good day, grabbed wrong bumper plates for snatch dead’s and didn’t realize til taking off but some extra weight never hurt anyone…

On to tomorrow! Cheers fellas

Day 27 done with intent

Looking forward to wrapping this deal up and seeing a bunch of PR’s on Thursday.

Cheers fellas
Week is done. Today was a welcomed change of pace.

Looking forward to next week and the PR party which I think is Thursday.

Cheers and enjoy that weekend fellas
Day 23 in the books

Lots of math and changing plates but liked today and as others said 90% went down & up smoothly. Pull ups were good, lots of pacing around in between

Looks like tomorrows is out and not a heavy squat day so I’ll take that

Cheers fellas
Day 22 in the books.

Squats felt light, probably could have shorten rest time there… bench weights all went up smooth. Superset killed me, as others said maybe go lighter on the weights if really want to push for # of sets

Cheers fellas
Day 20 done yesterday evening. Meh not much for lifting after work but got it done

Day 21 done this am. Zerchers were a bit uncomfortable today, wrapped bar in towel but whatever they got done

2nd year with Squatober, I don’t remember zerchers last year at all but maybe they were in there. Anyway onward to 22

Cheers fellas
