Excellent session!!!!

I have never had dove, how much meat can you get off of one of those lil things? Just enough for a popper or two? How hard is it to get the birdshot out of the meat?

It’s not a lot of meat maybe 2 bites. So yeah 1 dove makes 1 popper. Bird shot is usually not hard as they are so small it usually passes through. When I clean them I usually feel for shot and if a bb is in there I just squeeze it out.


We usually hunt for 3-4 times for them and vacuum pack and save them up and cook one batch up. More of just a fun activity and a tradition than anything really. Then hopefully when the littles are older they can do the cleaning and show them how to prepare them!

I don't recognize this at all, is this an older shotty you had refinished?

are you near a PR here???

Love dove. It’s quail with a little more gamey kick. I have some crane I need to cook from last fall. Might do that this weekend

I'm jealous of that, I see the TX guys out crane hunting and it looks awesome. we have swans up here but they are protected. I used to go out with a local guide for snow geese, not cause I didn't know how to hunt, but because he had land locked up in leases and hundreds of deeks so paying to hunt with him was always a blast, and after a while, he'd just start to invite us or let us hunt lease land he wasn't on for a given day (LOL). he always said if he saw a banded swan he was going to take it anyways and have it mounted by a friend so nobody would know lol.

More of just a fun activity and a tradition than anything really.

not a bad way to keep the skills up too in case you go after ducks/geese later!

That is the wife’s shotgun, I got her a Franchi I can’t remember the model affinity I think 20 gauge. It’s a really nice shotgun, basically a benalli but way cheaper price tag.


I’m right in there close to a PR. Also I should have noted it was touch and go and not like legal competition bench. Just wanted to test the waters to see where I’m at. After this training block I will bump my 1rep max numbers up and run another 8 weeks.

When I was 18 my former father in law (then GF's dad) took me in to his favorite pawn shop cause we knew a guy lol. I got my first legal firearm as an adult, my Mossberg 835 which is still my trusty old go-to even though I haven't used it in 2 years now. But its hunted all over the place, took that one to Missouri with me with a case of 3 1/2" BB and BBB shells for blasting snow geese lol..

So like yesterday just feeling out squats, had more in the tank but no need or point of pushing it. Deadlifts will tax me out Friday and then a 3 day of manual labor coming up

JM press i think im going to add in this day for the next 4 weeks.

Squats feeling great so I’ll take that as a win every time.

#priorities
use the good energy for the important lifts then grind out the slop work for the next 3 days. this is the way.

Talk about ACTIVE recovery.

 

[Segansational]

Ok, that's two logs I'm in here using JM presses now. Maybe I should look into them as my hypertophy work on bench day?

They are a great triceps exercise.

Just depends if you feel your bench currently needs more chest or triceps to make it through where you would otherwise fail on a max. Will you fail lower down, or more midway/top of the lift if you fail a rep?

I'd like to jump on this to hear your thoughts as well since you're coaching today. for me its going to be about the half way point if I'm going to fail a big lift. far enough off the chest to hold it and verbally say "take it" to my spotter. probably similar to your 3rd bench attempt last weekend actually.

unless I go full retard, screw up the entire rom and rhythm and pin myself. but that can't be helped. those days i need to just wear a helmet to walk.
