I was able to weight the log by balancing it on my bathroom scale and it is right at 200 pounds.Luchohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07992289866901355978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5857054182085881319.post-21748043662152074272010-12-30T16:26:18.307-07:002010-12-30T16:26:18.307-07:00Great job and I look forward to reading what you h...Great job and I look forward to reading what you have to write in the mag!<br /><br />For the log flips, would it be possible to bore out the ends, add weights/rocks/etc and cap it? Something that can be removed to change out the weights?PaulDJessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10343997067580210834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5857054182085881319.post-65724763088778649222010-12-30T11:19:50.601-07:002010-12-30T11:19:50.601-07:00Aaron- Definitely the strength work will minimize ...Aaron- Definitely the strength work will minimize injury. Weak muscles get hurt easily and don't provide stabilization. Knees and back in particular. My first official sport was boxing when I was quite little. Then football then running then triathlon. Aside from the running all of those are very much strength based and I've lifted weights since the 6th grade. My injury history can be counted on less than one hand. After Leadville I realized that I was weak so the balance I've created is much less about being a good runner and more about being a strong person. If you do only one lift do squats. Squats (when done correctly) provide 100% core activation.Luchohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07992289866901355978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5857054182085881319.post-32204312359528520822010-12-30T11:11:41.342-07:002010-12-30T11:11:41.342-07:00Cool to hear your excitement and motivation to tra...Cool to hear your excitement and motivation to train and improve. That's a fun state to be in. I like reading about the balance you achieve in your training. The last month and a half I have let running take over to the almost elimination of strength work. The running is improving nicely, and feeling good, but I feel fundamentally that some core strength work should be continued to maximize my ability and minimize injury potential. I assume you would agree with that?Aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07489311127532059233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5857054182085881319.post-34643646513192935402010-12-29T20:18:52.789-07:002010-12-29T20:18:52.789-07:00You're one of the athletes I'm excited abo...You're one of the athletes I'm excited about... a Ferrari engine waiting to be tuned.Luchohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07992289866901355978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5857054182085881319.post-64772381036748362542010-12-29T20:14:30.420-07:002010-12-29T20:14:30.420-07:00I dare say I am equally as excited to train right ...I dare say I am equally as excited to train right now...
