Shoulders (and shoulder shrugs next) before cardio this morning.

On Sat image I thought I could cut through. Looks like a real run trail adventure.

Still a lot of work and supposed to be open before the end of the year.
 
Post arm workout day.

This may not look like much in this picture foggy daytime picture, but this 6 acre field is known as ‘The Hunters Paradise’. Its A habitat to hundreds of white tail deer, turkeys, geese, quail, cranes, etc. Literally, right about dusk, you will see hundreds of deer within 50/60 feet of the road, its amazing how domesticated they are.

(If you zoom in to the right of the photo, you will see a bunch of fainted, blurry white specs, those are likely 500 seagulls just sitting in the field.)

No scenery here for this picture. But I liked this photo specifically to show the amount of stress these ‘weight gloves’ have taken in the gym with over 112 hours of lifting since I purchased them, and are starting to fall apart. Must mean I’m working hard towards my B.B goal.

Look fine and at their best. Probably last a while now that they are broken in. I have found that Harbinger makes the best line and longest lasting gloves. And I always buy one of the cheaper models too.

If you look at the glove on the right in the picture, it’s actually falling apart at the thumb and pointer finger, which I actually had to use superglue until I ordered new ones from Amazon. (The threading is loosening after so many washes). On the opposite side of the gloves where the thumb is, it has a terry cloth to wipe the sweat away, very convenient.

The reason I opted for these specific gloves, is because they offered the ‘full’ sleeved finger protection. I’m not keen on gloves that expose the fingers personally, Especially with added grip support helps a lot .

No expert but looks like it has too many seams (poor design) and the more seams the more points for failure and to come apart. Can't say about a full finger coverage gloves since I don't think I have ever used one.

I should probably say that these are technically a ‘heavy duty utility glove’ but I just found they work really well in the gym, and they have been under a lot of stress with weight lifting, maybe more than most would use these gloves for in most conditions.

But I agree, all the threading overtime will weaken, especially with daily washes five days a week. I paid $15.00 for them, altogether, they serve their purpose for what I paid and how much usage I gained. (They helped with my muscle gains :D....Yes, I know, That wasn’t a good joke).
 
After Ten straight days of weight training, time for recovery with two days off.

Captured this on the way home, glazed snowfall/ 30°/5:15 PM. (Refreshing air, but cold for November).

No outdoor scenic picture here, but I do want to share the new 4” weightlifting belt that I purchased. It’s been an absolute pleasure to use in the gym so far for lifting and core support. 100% percent tanned leather, suede lining, stainless steel Buckle, dual stitched, and surprisingly comfortable.

For my cardio, I have been wearing it on 17° days to break it in more. :D
