Well don't bust a gut! Just get it :lol: :lol: I did a bit of high rep stuff my ownself yesterday. Worked up to 240x20 then up to 365x 3 sets of 3, a paused rep at 375 and then went back down to 225 and could only get 28 reps. :cry: Yep, I was thinking about your 38 reps.............. :shock: :mrgre...

Wow, that is HUGE! I bet the lactic acid was building up around 30 reps

Congrat!

I have both in Winchester originals and have never seen any difference. Both are reliable to the point of boredom. A buddy has both in Brownings and after a quick phone call he told me the same thing. Never a problem.

That is GREAT news! That is a good looking rack and a great looking bench. A good rack is critical for those lifting alone or attempting heavy low reps. Now for the critical phase. Setting up a schedule. If you don't have a schedule that you adhere to religiously, sooner or later you will start miss...

I have three of the 24" Marlin CB's :mrgreen: Can't say enough good about them, about to head out the door deer hunting with one in a few minutes.. :wink: Out of one I shoot an RCBS44-245 PB which weighs 255grs with 9grs Unique and 1300fps, no leading and 3" groups using a receiver sight. ...

I always thought about getting a shotgun for HD but never have. I don't shoot shotguns much with the exception of hunting and trapshooting and for both of those I use an O/U. My 'smith has tried to get me to get an 1100 for HD. Basically I have always used a Marlin .44 Levergun loaded with hardcast ...

I'm sure glad to see so many hunting with Leverguns.

I'm heading out first thing in the morning with a 24" Marlin Cowboy in .44 mag using a 260gr cast at 1780fps.

Madman, I bench 3X per week, have for quite a few years after I found that I recovered best with 48 hours rest. 72 hours is the most I can rest during a lifting cycle, so M-W-F works out perfectly for me. And light/medium/heavy gives the most amount of recovery for me. Unfortunately I learned all th...

I've taken almost 2 dozen Roosevelt elk with .44's in both rifles and pistols. The load you use is very important of course, though I've used loads as light as a 240gr Remington factory from a 4" S&W. Mostly however I use cast bullets that I cast fairly soft, from 270gr SWC's to 330gr TN. B...

I apologize if this has been covered already this year.

Exactly.

I always consider WA such a Lib state until it comes to many of our gun laws. I wouldn't live in a state where a CCW had to be registered.

Madman, that isn't just pretty cool, that is AWESOME!

O.S.O.K, for something like you are thinking about, look into the Tabata Protocol. Also look into Kettlebell training ala 'DragonDoor' http://www.dragondoor.com/ Combining the two is fantastic too. I've been trained in Kettlebell work by a certified dragondoor trainer, a female chiropractor whose le...

I'm a big believer in weight training. I'm also a big believer in weight training away from home. Oh, it seems like a good idea to be able to workout whenever you want, but what happens is it becomes easy to not even see the equipment anymore. I see it happen to 99.99999% of people. Until one is a '...

Madman, have you performed any more Tabatas? Thinking of making them a part of your lifting regiment?

Just curious, as my wife does them 3X per week, my lifting partner does the same after we lift.

Man, did you get a DANDY rifle! I have 2 of the 24" versions myself, one with a nice 2-7x Leupold, the other with a Williams receiver sight. All I've ever shot through both has been cast, sized .431, and accuracy has been up to my standards, about 2" @ 100 yards for 5 shots. The open sight...

Just to be different, I'd say I prefer the 'pistol-grip' leverguns (don't really know why - maybe a bit more comfy for my hand, ...) I couldn't agree more. A pistol grip feels much more natural to me and more pleasing to my eye. I don't have a lot of wrist flexibility so the pistol grip feels much ...

That is a lot of work, Madman! My lifting partner and also my wife both prefer to use Kettlebells for most of their tabata work. It is amazing what one can do with a kettlebell and some ingenuity. My wife likes about 4 stations, kettlebell squat to press, one and two hand swings, cleans, snatches an...

For overall health don't forget about Crossfit training and also the Tabata Protocol. My wife, also over 50 just doesn't have enough time in the day for weight training anymore even though she handles record weights. She now trains primarily with the Tabata Protocol and she is able to get it in 3X p...

Thanks, Dave! Good work there -- did I miss it on the way through here - what was the bullet and the load? No, you didn't miss it. I used the Lyman 264gr 375449 which weighs 280.5grs from my alloy, ready to load. I use about 75% WW's to 25% pure lead which expands out to .70 in an elk, the only bull...

Guys, Any of you especially those 50 and above on a active weight lifting regiment ? Reason I ask is especially for men a weight program is absolutely essential. I couldn't agree more! After 21 years of weight training, now at age 52 I am stronger than anytime before in my life. Right before I left...

Thanks guys! It was very important to me to take it with a levergun. I like doing about 98-99% of my hunting with a levergun and I didn't want this to be any different. At first I had planned to perhaps use my .44 Marlin Cowboy since that is my first love and shoot them so much that I am very very c...
