I’ll try next time! 1 Quote Link to comment

AwayLifter Posted May 21 Author Report Share Posted May 21 Lm squat bar+30kg 3x8 ar dips 3x6 meadows row bar+20kg 3x8 curls ez bar+25kg 3x6 / band laterals 3x20 lm press bar+15kg 3x8 / band rear delts 3x15 band low to high rows 3x20 - Added 2.5kg on lm squat. - Added 1 rep on band ring dips. - Switched to one arm meadows rows as don’t want to risk lower back with barbell throws. First time doing them and I used straps. So now I don’t do any of the following barbell exercises: squats, deadlifts, flat bench, rows ??? - Had to drop weight on lm press as missed the third set before. Got it this time but last 2 reps on one arm used a bit of leg drive. - I’m seeing some gains in my traps from doing the band rows. The band is half way to my knee on the rack and I row to the shoulders. Feel it in biceps and traps. I ordered a new bench as will add incline on one day in place of lm press. Back to hiking on Saturday and I will try something new. I’m signing up to french classes again in August. 1 Quote Link to comment

AwayLifter Posted June 2 Author Report Share Posted June 2 I did two hikes today: Icogne to Lens then planned to get the bus back but saw a sign for Bisse de Clavau which I’ve done before. This was much better than the route I e taken before. I saw about 7 of these crosses and started to wonder about bears ? 2 Quote Link to comment
AwayLifter Posted June 2 Author Report Share Posted June 2 Weather was terrible but it was raining when I left my place. The first hike was thick with pine trees and not many photos opportunities. 2 Quote Link to comment
Sovalis Posted June 2 Report Share Posted June 2 Wow, gorgeous! So interesting to see the crosses, too. I wonder what they represent. Was it bears?

There are mostly wolves in the area than bears. They saying is: you cannot see the wolves but they see you ? This is a great website for hikes in Valais: https://www.les-bisses-du-valais.ch/en/ just select area e.g. Central Valais, select the hike e.g. Bisse de Clavau, then select Gallery. I have a sort of plan to try to complete them but I like to have no plan sometimes. 1 Quote Link to comment

AwayLifter Posted June 9 Author Report Share Posted June 9 Lm squat bar+30kg 3x8 kneel ring push ups 2x7 ar dips 7 meadows row bar+20kg 3x8 curls ez bar+25kg 3x6 / band laterals 3x20 lm press bar+15kg 3x8 / band rear delts 2x20 band low to high rows 3x20 Rings broke on push ups so did a set of band rings dips. Last time push ups were 7,6,6. This time 7,7?then 7 band ring dips so minor progress. I took 5 minutes after meadows rowsnasvthey are a killer. I do 8 reps each arm for 1 set so feels like cardio! Got 3rd set on lm rows due to the above. Went back to sets of 20 on rear felts as feels better than sets of 15. No hiking this weekend but back to it next weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment
AwayLifter Posted June 16 Author Report Share Posted June 16 I did the Gemmi Pass again yesterday but it was really dangerous. Snow should have melted by now but above 2100 metres there was still snow. You can see the path on the left in the first photo ? 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment

Got 1 rep extra on ring dips. I’d guesstimate doing body weight (no band) by end of year. Got an extra rep on band chin ups. Added weight in curls Got 3 sets on rear delts. So Ive got fat. Need to do more cardio. I’ll do a hard hike at the weekend ? 2 Quote Link to comment

AwayLifter Posted September 15 Author Report Share Posted September 15 I went hiking in Chamonix Mont-Blanc. Snow was early this year so only one hike was open. Medium level hike and was a good one. 1 Quote Link to comment
