Brute's Book

Here’s the video. I splurged and ordered a fancy new camera which will be in the mail soon . My phone works however to get the general idea.
No lifting today for me, I woke up feeling like I’ve been pulled thru a field! Behind on sleep and stuff!

Today
farmers carries
162#/ arm x maybe a total of 20 feet- three stops or so
142#/ arm x total of 320 feet
zercher walks 142# x 160 feet x 2 trips
carries 145#/ arm x total of 320 feet
zercher walks 152# x 160 feet x 2 trips

tried some zercher reverse lunges, just a set of 5/ leg with 82#

New camera sounds cool; looking forward to more vids. Need closer shots, to check out your form, and sock-a-roos that your so fond of.

Looks like you have good room to work at your gym, which also makes me a bit jealous.

Great lifting as always.
ERIC D.

Thanks Eric! I am excited for the camera, but to be honest I’ll probably be very protective of it for a while! I will only use it when I have the gym to myself-- liek in the vid above. Early morning gym is the only time its not packed ot the rim with tons of people who are pretty much spread out ALLLL over the place, phone here, towel there, four shaker cups of pre , peri, and post workout shakes…that kidn athing.

Early morning is the best!

Pull ups on saturday
3 sets of 8, 3 sets of 7, three sets of 6, 4 sets of 5
then others, not sure the total amount.

I think my pull up strength is building up a bit. They feel different now, I think they might look better too though the reps are lower. Maybe that’s why they look better…I’m not stressing the reps per set these days.

I have a cell phone video of the first 245. Its a bit wonky but the second felt better however no video of that one. I like this belt!!! And my quads felt it today! Very pleased!!!

I think its the zercher walks. Helping me out with some upper back strength.
My Horse has only a few bits n bobs left to finish. My new camera is great! However the self timer just makes Moss want to stand in front of it while I am trying to take a picture!


And she’s a red head now…where the heck have I been ?

Funny about your dog; same with mine. He’s a real camera hound, my boy. Pictures have great quality for sure. Good for you on the fronts PR.

Enjoy the sunshine!

:D! Thanks Eric!!! Oh did we enjoy the sunshine!!..But today’s gloom is nice!

Happy Easter from work. I hope all is well in your world.

I’m proud of last weeks sessions, so today’s alright. Can’t all be great.

I gotta do some diet tinkering. I tend to eat the same thing day after day for months at a time. Today I feel bloated and stuff and I am fairly sure its my body’s way of saying “change it up dude”. So I will.

Kinda pent up a bit. I over did it on the walks with Moss and he’s got some sore shoulders and forelimbs! had an event where I ended up running him for maybe a 1/4 mile to try and distract him into dropping a big bone he found on the side of the road out of his mouth that he refused to let go off. Anywho, limpy Moss means rest for him and unfortunately no walking buddy for me. Kinda a sketchy neighborhood I’d rather not try and go out alone in. And I’ve no interest in cardio on a machine lately.

BLAH. Also am on one of those wild no money till payday - tuesday- kinda things so food is a interesting thing each day…Oh well. Every now and then those are good for me to just keep me on my toes. I can always bumm of friends but its a bit of an creative adventure to try and get healthy stuff for 8 bucks a day. I can totally do it.

No leaving the house this morning so that meant home lifting which meant pull ups today.

Took today off work, well called in. Need a bit of a breather mental health day. Its been pumping busy at both jobs, getting amped up for summer and all the parvo and lacerations and hit by car scenarios, rattle snake bites and so forth coming my way…Its coming and I just need a lil chill day before then. I did still attempt it, woke up at 3 to get a gym in before work but while at the gym I realized …I just need a day off.

My car is now running but needs a new timing belt. SOON. So that’s a few hundred bucks or a undrivable car in the next weeks. Good thing income tax came in and the fact I can walk to work if I had no choice is also way lucky.

Moss is still limping but in much better spirits. He was acting pretty puny for a few days…laying around all pathetic and sore. Some dog massage has been called for, start rubbing his pecs and triceps and he melts into the carpet .
