Didn't go to the gym today, but work was somewhat taxing to the body.
So, imagine filling your Nalgene with water and tying it to the end of a ~10-ft string. Then stand on a ledge, and lift the Nalgene all the way up to your body using a hand-over-hand method of pulling up the string. I did about 150 reps of that today. Not all that difficult, but it's better than sitting at a desk all day.
Also, I need to start measuring my field work "workouts" in Bucket-Yards. As in, how many yards did I carry a bucket containing 4 gallons of water (30-35 pounds). Today I was on a pretty small site, with an extremely low volume of water to deal with. I think I pulled out something like 50 Bucket-Yards. Contrast that to when I work in Portland, where I probably rock several thousand Bucket-Yards over the course of a week. Ever wonder why I have gigantic arms even when I don't lift weights? Yeah.
I should start doing squats while I've got the buckets full.
