Ready to get to work in the gym. Came home from hunting early because the hunting was not very good. Trapping was slow too. Gonna finish the season from home.
Legs feel good now. Only occasional "twinges" here and there from the uneven terrain.  Also, body fat is down. Put on a lot of miles exploring, learning more about the area I hunt.
Well rested and looking forward to making gains on the iron!

Ended up having time to go through my cycle once more since we pulled out traps the other day. So I took today to test the legs for the first time in about a month. So far so ggod. Started with squats. Only went up to 225. Then on to the leg press where I only went up to 445. I then did hack squats and kept them moderate also. Ham/glute ext. were next. And then finished up with leg curls.
So far no unusual pain or discomfort. But we will see what the next couple days bring. None the less, it sure did feel good to work the legs again! I`m sure not working my legs has contributed to losing 5 pounds. COUNTER PRODUCTIVE!!
I leave on sunday morning for my long anticipated northwoods adventure. Lots of hunting, trapping and exploring planned. Just getting away for up to 2 weeks will be relaxing.

Finished up another bench program today. Did not finish strong, but I attribute that to neglecting all other aspects of training. After running the trapline, there is not much energy left to hit the weights. I am ok with that though. I needed a break from the gym anyways. I am probably done with the gym now until after deer hunting is done. Hopefully will have plenty of fresh protien when done!
Legs have been slowly improving. I think I will be ready to work them by december. Have not worked them for about 3 weeks now. A nasty side affect to resting legs is I feel lazy towards the rest of my workouts.
Next blog entry will not be until later this month. Stay strong everyone!
