Watch out for those skirts T-block, number one distraction in the gym haha, I hope she was hot. Yeah man muscle memory is an amazing thing, once you get to a certain level of strength you'll always be able to go back to that level much easier after you take time off. Dont sweat it and too bad about that backpacking trip I was looking forward to hearing how that went.

Well man we decided to fuck it and go on the trip anyway we may scale it down though.


Here is Yosemite two weeks ago at a similar elevation, just under 10,000 feet. If we do the whole trip, we will reach 10500 feet, which will be like dragging ourslevs over 6 feet of snow! We might pick up crampons at REI though


Aparrantly this is one of the biggest snow years ever Lol we were picturing swimming in cool alpine lakes, but we'll freeze our ass off if we go swimming! I'm gonna take a SHIT ton of pictures and videos though so I'll share those with you guys. I just hope to God you deadlift doesnt catch up to me by the time I get back I could have pulled 465-470 before I lost a little strength though

Pull throughs are the shit. Started them a few weeks back myself.
Looks like your making some good progress tblock. im sure that strength will come back. I had a few months off and mines comming back lol

Well I just got back from my backpacking trip, it was fucking awesome. After the initial trailhead, it was just us and the wilderness for the whole trip. We did 4 nights and 5 days, so we cut it one day short. We spent 75% of the time off trail, awesome!!!! 6 feet of snow plus too. Not sure when I will do my next workout, my little online bench meet is soon though

Mike: I just wen t with one friend. I cant imagine going backpacking in the shit we did with more than 2 people, it would just be too hard to avoid falling through holes and shit hahaha! Plus my friends dad got a $350 2 person tent that only weighs 3 pounds, so I aint arguing with that We took around 500 photos though, plus probably 50+ videos, so I'm putting some of the videos up on youtube. I made an account at some yosemite forum to ask questions about the trip and they were very helpful so I wanted to put up some vids for them. The funniest thing is that when we went back tp the ranger station and showed them photos of the frozen lakes they just about shit their pants, and tyhey were asking us about all the conditions becaause they didnt dare go up there

Also, my bodyweight went down to 190, a 5 pound loss On the good side though we were both in such good backpacking shape by the end that we set a 4+ mph pace on the last part of the trip out of the snow and werent out of breath at all, we practically knocked over some dayhikers. Once you get out of the snow it is so easy!
