like the lab move and our family move and two of our companies really taking off, like really taking off. And I was like, I see where this is going and I'm just going to set expectations personally.

So I have different phases is what I do, right? Now, one of my biggest things I look forward to every year, my dad, my brother and I always go on a hunting trip in the fall, right? Like all kinds of stuff. This year we were up in about 10,000 feet elevation in Western Wyoming and we're running up and down the hills basically the whole time.

Like all kinds of stuff. This year we were up in about 10,000 feet elevation in Western Wyoming and we're running up and down the hills basically the whole time.

So I will generally schedule my entire year around that phase, which means prior to that, it was a lot more long duration, rucking, moving, training, things like that. not emphasizing muscle growth, not emphasizing even like VO2 max or anything like that. I need to be able to handle the mountain and I need to be able to handle my respiration and the elevation. So I'm geared towards that.

Coming back off of that trip, then I knew this quarter was going to be awful. So this quarter was just about moving. I'm trying to move. I did a little workout yesterday in the hotel room. Today, all I basically got in was sauna for the most part, right? No time. And I had, well, that's a lie. I did a bath. I did a bath in the hotel rooms, like the best I could come up with. I had no break.

I'm eating and I'm like, I can get a 15 minute hot bath in and like sweat. move throughout the day. Okay. That's how it is now. When I go back to start off after this refresher here, it's generally going to look something like this. I'm mostly going to be lifting weights three to four times per week.

When I go back to start off after this refresher here, it's generally going to look something like this. I'm mostly going to be lifting weights three to four times per week.

And I don't ever have a Monday is legs, Tuesday is arms, things like that, because that's never going to happen. I just have the next workout and I get that thing done the next time it's available. So I don't actually have like seven day routines. I just have a thing I'm trying to get done over across 90 days.

So I don't actually have like seven day routines. I just have a thing I'm trying to get done over across 90 days.

And so what that ends up looking like is generally like 70 workouts I try to get done in 90 days. Sometimes that's nine or 10 or 11 days in a row because I like have the space and then I know I'm going to have two workouts in eight days. Right. So I'm just like, if I have a chance to train, I'm going to train because I know like schedule is going to eat me right now. So I do that.

So generally three to four days a week of lifting, generally one to two days a week of trying to move a ton. This could be a lot of steps up and down the mountain where I live. This could be, I will do many of my meetings where like people always laugh at me because I'm just going to like pace back and forth. I love pacing when I work. So I'm just like trying to accrue movement throughout the day.

So I'm just like trying to accrue movement throughout the day.

And then something at least once a week, like I said earlier, where I touch maximum possible heart rate and a lot of different varieties. The last probably year or so of lifting specifically has been probably the most frustrating year of more like almost a year and a half now, because I made a conscious decision of saying, you know, I feel good.

Everything's great, but I need to be thinking about the next 60 years. And so I have a couple of little asymmetries and a couple of little things that I know are not moving how they should be moving. So I have a coach and all of my programming is just correcting those things. So the workouts are just infuriating because it's all the stuff you suck at.
