Bret S. training log

A one set snippet from today



Here's part of the ride we took yesterday on the Valkyrie

Smooth snatch set with that 28kg. Nice ride too.

 

[Bret S.]

I posted my 70th bday training session on my log(11/24), and I'm still stuck on five, But it's going down, so I left my goal up there so it's in front of me. I did manage 35 pullups on that day, 70 pushups, and 70 OA SW with both a 24 and 32 bell.

Nice! It's ok to not hit goals I think, keeps us motivated and sharp

Thanks ?

Are you a rider too? The bike helps me stay sane as a great vehicle of freedom expression and stress relief.

I was many years ago. With two little kids, I stopped riding. My wife said all my hunting, fishing, and cabin building activs. made her feel like a cabin widow already. This was said in jest. The wives of my buddies adopted her term, called themselves Cabin Widows. Still miss it. Those Valkries were beauties.

Haha, cabin widows is pretty funny cuz it's kinda true in some cases. Mine wouldn't hand around for it long, at least she loves to ride shorter trips with me when the weather's good.

I like the new F6's but the original Valkyries still look the best to me.

Last session of mace doing 700 reps stressed my hand skin some, made things difficult today, the last 20 repeats were a challenge as skin was burning hard, limped through the last 10 NR using fingertips.
