Ignore the hate in the other comments. Any attempt at working on improving yourself is worthwhile, any activity is better than no activity. Best of luck!

This is copy pasta from Arnolds https://arnoldspumpclub.com/ daily newsletter. Its a good routine and will allow you to get a full body workout in both the gym and at home. If you are unfamiliar with any of these exercises search the exercise and thepumpclub on youtube.

Workout of the Week

If you looked through Arnold’s workout logs, something would immediately stand out — and we’re not talking about the grueling sessions, incredible volume, or ability to push himself to the limit. Arnold built his body on a steady diet of basic exercises.

Today, you see many “new moves” and variations, and influencers might make it seem like these are necessary or better. If you enjoy them, that’s fine. But mastering foundational moves is a proven way to build strength, add muscle, and burn fat.

This week’s program doesn’t include exotic exercises, but it takes a timeless approach to challenging every muscle from head to toe.

How it works

This full-body workout can be done as one circuit. You’ll perform the first exercise and then immediately move to the next exercise, resting as little as possible. And you’ll continue this pattern until you complete all of the movements. After you finish one round of all eight exercises, you can call it a day, or you can rest 3 minutes and go through the eight exercises again. If you’re a beginner, just 1 to 2 sets is enough, and you’ll be done in 10 to 20 minutes. If you’re more advanced, aim for 3 to 5 total circuits.

r/bodyweightfitness has a lot of solid information. I highly recommend bodyweight-fitness app. It has android and iOS versions https://github.com/mazurio

Unfortunately it doesn’t look like the weather is going to cooperate with the viewing.

Try adding a good full body warmup by rowing/jump rope etc for 5-10 minutes followed by a light weighted mobility drill like this https://youtu.be/liuvRkaVGhk?feature=shared

Do the warmup and mobility drills everyday. Your focus needs to be on having good form, its not about speed or strength its about the motion. Do an extra set of 20 slow, easy good mornings opposite your daily mobility work, ie if you work out in the evening do the good mornings in the morning. You will increase that hinging motion by hundreds of reps every week and that will improve your ability to DL.

Changing up your style of DLs after a progression cycle will help keep you from getting bored and incorporate different little muscles.

Lots of pre built workouts based on experience and goals. Has gifs of exercises if you are unsure how to properly do them.

Hi Chews.

The only thing that makes sense to me is that they are flying, not checking a bag and therefore they are unable to bring their poop knife.

Enjoy having a lighter pack or get a https://www.rei.com/product/148036/rei-co-op-flexlite-air-chair or https://www.rei.com/product/158004/helinox-chair-zero. They are essentially the same but sit slightly different so if you have the option it’s worth trying them out in store.

Check out this post https://backpackinglight.com/forums/topic/seam-sealing-a-backpack/ before you decide that you want to actually give it a try.

If you want to seal the seams check out https://www.trailspace.com/gear/seam-sealers/ or https://ripstopbytheroll.com/pages/search-results-page?q=ultra

Can’t remember what fabric the Kakwa uses so make sure you double check that whatever you use is compatible.

I use a trash compactor bag to keep dry items in. It’s simpler.

Try using smart water bottles or similar instead of Nalgene as they should fit better and weigh less.

Either way have fun out there.

A bidet is a game changer. On trail or off it makes everything better. Like others have said never try out new fear on the trail.

The best explanation I’ve heard is if you get shit on your hands are you satisfied with cleaning them off with just a paper towel?

For me hiking is a day trip and backpacking is at least one night. I would keep the two separate as planning and what’s required are different.

Go for a walk. It doesn’t matter how long or how far you go but simply getting up and moving resets your mind. Walk in a different direction, listen to some music, podcast or audio book to change things up.

Just listened to the Outside/In podcast two episode series on the legality of protests. They cover some of what happened at the start of the “Stop Cop City” protests. http://outsideinradio.org/
