For my weekly sprinting session, I usually go run at a local soccer field. Just to mix things up, I took a few barbell plates with me this time. After the sprints, I did a some impromptu lifts to work my upper body.
It was pretty neat doing some weightlifting exercises in the great outdoors. I can't remember the last time I've done that. It sure is a change from a typical commercial gym environment.
I recall reading that Schwarzenegger and his buddies would sometimes go lift outdoors. They would load up a truck with weights, food, and their lady-friends, and head out to the country. Then they would lift weights, cook up a feast, and have a good time.
Some friends and I joked about doing this one time in college, but we never did. Oh well, maybe someday. In the meantime, I may mix in some more outdoor lifting until Arnold calls.
