I’ve got a large chest freezer. I’ve got to do more research on the ice maker yet. We have a full sized restaurant one at work that I was using this winter but it needs its maintenance and has been shut down for at least a month now. It was nice when it was running. I could plunge in the upper...

@cory 3&1/2 minutes and dunking my head at the end. I’m thinking of trying to up my time a bit but nothing drastic. Maybe up to 5 or 6. I have a bunch of half gallon juice bottles that I freeze and then toss in at night. The ice you see floating was leftover from my five gallon jug I keep in...

Those guys are nuts Cory. You could see him losing steam right at the top but damn good speed. It’s the having to tap only three times on the way down that makes my knees hurt just watching.

43*F dunk this morning followed by warm up exercises and stretching. Did a brisk mile walk with my wife and one dog. Then a lot of twisting while weed whacking. Planning on getting a run in this afternoon yet. Still need to knock some things off the honey do list first

From what I’ve seen of the gym rats is they are mostly younger and have show muscle. Sure they can lift a massive amount of weight but have no functional strength. Also for most muscle size is inversely proportional to brains. We had a guy like that at work for a short time. He could lift a...

Exactly. I just enjoy being outdoors. There is so much of this country I want to see and experience. I have no desire to see the cities though. Haven’t really got a plan for it all. I’m going to the Smokies again in mid May this year. There are a few trails and waterfalls I have not experienced...

I’m not sure @cory. Running the crane is the least physical part of my job so you would think I’d have loads of energy after work but being sedentary drains me. Also the mental stress of operating the crane is much different than the climbing or other aspects of the job. As I’ve grown more...

6 am argument today. I won. Two mile run before sun up followed by ten minutes on the heavy bag.

Tougher than I

Highly unlikely. It would be great though. Having pics in the big magazines seems to come along with money. I could use more of that.

Not that this is really about exercise but with my late start yesterday and the fact that I needed something from my truck, I walked outside barefoot just after sunrise. I stood out there bare chested for a few minutes standing in the frost covered grass just enjoying the radiance of the sun. I...

I’m really not sure @cory. I pretty much started doing them both at the same time. The plunge is part of my routine now. I’ve only missed one morning because of the condition the hospital prep put me in. Didn’t want to risk shitting myself when hitting the ice. I felt off that day and did it...

I’m seeing results both physically and mentally. Mentally my mood is better and I’m more alert. Physically I have more stamina and I don’t have to do the “lean” to find my six pack anymore. Besides cold plunge, pushups, squats, and jumping rope I’ve added the heavy bag, pull ups, and some sort...

Some day maybe. Fortunately My fighting days are long gone. I never fought competitively and don’t plan on starting at 45. That doesn’t rule out the BJJ and MT classes that I’m waiting to hear back about. The gym (dojo) s 3 miles from my house and I’m actually looking to get the kids into it. I...

Bare foot ain’t gonna happen again. Tried that at first. Took one smack and I learned my lesson

Yeah Goggins joined the woodland firefighters. I thought he was going to smoke jumping also. It’s interesting to me that he took a job like that when he makes so much more doing his talks. He’s doing it as a challenge and I’m sure it’s motivating to those he works with

Got my running shoes today but with the weather I ain’t gonna go run. Did the jump rope instead. All I can say is my cardio sucks. Didn’t even get three minutes in before I was out of breath. Oh well. Can only get better

A guy from work said he might have a treadmill for me. I ordered a pair of running shoes the other night. Also the father in law asked if my kids wanted his heavy bag to play with. Of course I said yes to that. I might get back into shape yet😆. A noticeable side effect is that I’m in a better...

Probably not gonna happen. Well at least not this time of year. Limestone driveway and it’s mud season so the yard isn’t gonna be an option. Once the weather is better, it might be another way to make sure my neighbors know I’m crazy.

Just the body weight stuff to warm back up Cory. Ryan I didn’t take it that way. Just putting out what I’m doing
