Farewell My Brothers from CGB

Tuesday, June 9, 2015

Arrival of Service

Departure of CGB

     My brothers, I am departing for the Mexico MTC tomorrow morning. Six weeks later I will fly to Dallas, Texas. There I will spend the remainder of my two years serving the people of Texas, speaking the Spanish language. I will return to Utah in June of 2017.

     In the meantime, I expect activity on this website. I will continue to exercise, but the mission work will always come first. Exercise time is scheduled into the missionary life, every morning. I expect the availability of workout equipment to be limited and inconsistent from apartment to apartment. Body weight movements will probably dominate my programming.

     My older blood brother, Cameron Colt Buford, has volunteered to keep my presence alive on this website. Once a week I will look over my workouts (from that week). I will choose one and send it to Cam in an email. He will then post that workout on this site. Once a week. In addition, Cameron will periodically post pictures of me to accompany the workout post.

     Josh Tyler Boone and Rob Chandler Waugh. Stay solid for these two years. Get grande, haha. Keep me updated on your progress. I like and support the life goal of Elliott Hulse: Become the best version of yourself. Don't waste your time, brothers.

Farewell,

Calen Gage Buford

Brothers Trip June 5-6, 2015 from CGB

My two brothers Britton and Cameron, along with our cousin Jonathon, and I went backpacking to Murdock Peak. We left the house at 17:50, walked to the trail head, and hiked 5 miles up Toll Canyon. It was a steady incline for most of it, but got steep at times. It took just under 2 hours. Base camp was in the woods, away from the trail. Jonathon and I had to make a night run, back to the river, to get water for dinner. The stream was farther from camp than we thought, so that added another 2 miles. In the morning, we hiked to the summit with day packs. Snow was still on the mountain in some areas. We took advantage of this and sledded down the steepest part of the mountain. The hike back out took just over an hour. Returned home at 14:00. Success.

Cardio:
     - backpack 5 miles with 30-50 lbs.
     - hike 1-3 miles
     - backpack 5 miles with 30-50 lbs.

Press to Test. JTB

Today I tested my presses. Strict press this morning and bench press this afternoon. On strict press I hit my old PR of 135#, which I was disappointed in but it gave me the motivation to go big on the bench press and I hit 255# which I was very pleased with.

Testing week. JTB

Testing week (this week) has been going well for me. I did max front squat today which will hopefully represent my clean soon and hit a new max of 265#. I'm pretty stoked on this.
Also did


3 Rounds 1 minutes per station.
    - wall balls
    - KB swings
    - box jumps
    - Shoulder to overhead 75#
    - hand release push ups

Reflections. JTB

At the beginning of this school year I would struggle through reps of 225# back squat, today I hit a triple at 285# and a single at 315#. This is my first time breaking 300# and I hope to stay here for awhile. This fitness thing definitely makes our lives better, it gives us goals, something to do, and a good way to escape from all of life's' trials let's keep at it.
