When it's cold, you bundle up and do what you have to do. And when it's colder, you just bundle up a bit more! |
Hail to the Dinosaurs!
It's been cold as heck here in Louisville -
and the same is true across much of the
world right now.
And that means it's time to bundle up and
do squats.
Or deadlifts.
Or presses.
Or push-ups and pull-ups.
Or the farmer's walk.
Or go for a nice long walk.
Or whatever.
The important thing is to do something
physical - stay active - keep moving -
and get your blood flowing.
Trudi and I went for a nice walk yesterday.
We wore triple layers on top - and double
socks - and scarves, hats and warm gloves.
It was cold, but the sun was out and it
felt great.
So I decided to set up shop outside and
do some old-fashioned split style snatches
to earn my Christmas dinner.
That's the only way I can do overhead
lifting because the basement ceiling is
too low for presses, snatches and clean
and jerks. Not sure who designed the
place, but he obviously wasn't a lifter.
Trudi understands. She didn't even try to
talk me out of it.
"Sounds like fun!" she said.
So I re-bundled in double layers of sweats,
and went out and set things up for a nice
little workout.
I miscalculated a bit because the clouds
came out and covered the sun almost
the minute I got started - and then the
wind kicked up - and pretty soon it was
downright chilly.
I would do a lift, and then retreat back
into the garage, blow on my hands, and
then go out and do the next lift.
And as you might imagine, I sure as heck
didn't rest very long between lifts.
I didn't go heavy - that would not have
been wise in cold weather - but I trained -
and I had fun - and that's the important
thing.
Anyhow, wherever you are, bundle up
and get in a good workout. It doesn't
matter what you do - just do it.
It will make all the difference in the world.
Yours in strength,
Brooks Kubik
