Thanks, i decided that chest and back secondary days I'd follow my own workouts.. stick to meadows on the 4 planned days. As the secondary days are always the same.

The game, the beers, the nachos - all spot on! Hope you enjoyed as well.

Yep, went in the garage and felt really good in there. At times it's cold (like today)... but yesterday was perfect.

Just sayin.
 
LMAO! Thomas! It's 14 this morning and the bar is freaking cold! Garage heater is on full and I'm still in 4 layers!
 
4 layers? Time for squats then...lol

I can workout outside in the cold but I don't know how you guys keep your back from locking up. I'd have to wrap my lower back in a heat wrap.

Nice going powering through the cold on that back workout Simon!

At least the cardio wasnt in the cold.

I see the forecast is the same for the morning... warming a little in the daytime... but then that cold snap is over...
 
Thank goodness!
I am going to workout regardless tomorrow. Parka or whatever is required!

I think I am going to get a day pass to a gym when I am out taking care of my mom. It'll be something to break up the day, and its been years since I have gone into a commercial gym. It would be fun to try different machines for some kicks.
 
Solid secondary day brosef.
 
Now that is one cold lifting session! What hand placement do you use on the Swiss bar?

0 Celsius right? 32 for those of us south?
 
Can you tell a huge difference between -6 and 0?
 
Not really. It's the wind chill that makes a huge difference.
We can be -8 up here but then be -18 with the wind chill. It can be quite biting.
 
It was 19 F here and apparently felt like 1 with the wind, but I was dressed for the snow so honestly it wasn't bad at all. Just messy on the roads
 
Yeah 1F is cold. I find the only thing that really effects me is when the wind is biting. Cold is doable, its when the wind seems to cut right through your clothing that it sucks.

No, but the difference was it was -26 C outside and -6 in the garage. With temps of 0 C outside, it was about +6 in the garage which was quite comfortable.

So true, if you are prepared for it, its nothing really. But you cannot prepare for the idiots on the road!
 
Well Sunday evening, I was taking towels out of the dryer and some how tweaked my back. Yesterday was to be a rest day, but today ended up being one as well. As will tomorrow. Should be fine to lift on Thursday. P*ss me off though... laundry of all things... fml

Actually I cant help but wonder if those two days of extra cold lifting left me vulnerable?
 
Oh man! I hate when simple bending movements tweak the back! I did that bending over to change a spark plug on a mower!
