AwayLifter Posted October 25, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2023 I did the Bisse de Clavau again from Icogne to Sion. Was very nice to see on autumn compared to summer. I like the clouds a lot on this one. He looks happy with his job! 1 Quote Link to comment
AwayLifter Posted October 25, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2023 Here is some video voltage of the hike. I realised I was moving too fast on my videos so have slowed down. Starting to see some snow on the top of the mountains now. 1 Quote Link to comment

AwayLifter Posted October 27, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2023 Lm sumo squats bar+20kg 2x8 B ring dips 3x5 B chins 5x3 curls / laterals 2x8 / 2x20 lm press 120 degrees / rear delts bar+10kg 3x10 / 3x20 B high pulls 5x10 Easing my way back after lower back issues. Ring dips were good. Dropped from 3x8 before to 3x5; glad I didn’t have to drop back to the thicker band. Need to ease back into the chins. The rest was fine. I need to get rid of the power rack. I’ve bought a standing chin up bar. I’ll do ring push ups in place of incline and I can still do ring dips. My exercises will be more careful now. No ?lifts, front squats and I’ll go back to pendlay rows. B = band Lm = landmine Quote Link to comment
AwayLifter Posted October 28, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2023 I stopped off at Thun again and got a quick photo. I took the photo from roughly the same spot as the photo on page 2 of my log. That one was green. This is from autumn (or fall for those in the States). I am giving away a cheat code here ? Both taken from the same spot but one is zoomed in. 1 Quote Link to comment

AwayLifter Posted November 1, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2023 This was an amazing view. I have noticed generally that the photos do not do the actual view justice. But this one does. Incredible colours. This was my favourite view of the day but I think the first photo above is the best photo. The view was more impressive than the photo looks. Quote Link to comment

AwayLifter Posted November 5, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2023 Lm sumo squats to RDL bar+20kg 3x5 B ring dips 3x6 B chins 6x3 curls / laterals 2x8 / 2x25 Lm press / Rear delts bar+10kg 3x10 / 3x20 B high pulls 5x10 I changed the legs to landmine sumo squat to RDL as lower back felt OK. Chins and dips felt tough. I’ll probably add reps or sets in December now. I’ll run tomorrow then try the other routine later in the week. Quote Link to comment
AwayLifter Posted November 12, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2023 Lm squats bar+20kg 3x10 Ring kneel push ups 6x3 yates rows 40kg 3x8 curls / laterals 2x8 / 2x20 lm press / band rear delts bar+10kg 3x 10 / 2x20 high pulls 3x10 Added ring push ups and tried low reps and on knees to start. I’ll build them up. My chest exercises are now ring dips and push ups and I want to progress to without assistance on both. The curls I am pausing and squeezing each rep for 5 seconds so 2 sets is enough. I do 120 “ish” degree landmine press and bend my inner knee this time. Really felt it in my side delts. 1 Quote Link to comment
AwayLifter Posted November 14, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2023 Lm sumo squats to RDL bar+20kg 3x5 B ring dips 7,7,5 B chins 7x3 curls / laterals 2x8 / 2x25 Lm press / Rear delts bar+15kg 3x8 / 3x20 Band rear delt raise 2x20 Same number of reps of dips but went from 3x6 to 7,7,5. Minor improvement. Added a set of chins and I’ll add another next time. I switched from band high pulls as think they were more like the ?ly inverted rows. I’ll do behind the back band rear delt raises: from now on will be rear delts as it’s too long! I’m looking at mid January for adding weight to banded chins and dips. I’m looking at June as a target for be chins and dips. Modest but would be ok progress. 2kg weight added a month. Im taking 3 months off in July to study French full time and will probably take 3 weeks on ze beach after ?️ Quote Link to comment

I am turning out the arms at the end of each rep. Hits the upper chest and is useful for more advanced ring exercises. Added weight on rows. I was trialling grip width. Added weight on curls.

AwayLifter Posted November 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2023 I didn’t need a new guitar…but I bought one anyway ?♂️ Id say hiking is not likely until January as need to give the snow a chance to set. 1 Quote Link to comment

Sometimes it's fun to buy something just because we enjoy it Yes, that was my thinking. My friend signed up for a sports car online one night and I bought this online when we were out to make him feel not so bad. I could have cancelled it but wanted it for a while. 1 Quote Link to comment
