Stone Slams/Throws in the Snow, and Paused Zercher Squats

This was the meat of today's workout, although of course I warmed up and did other sets of throwing and ramp-up sets of squats. I'm getting back to heavier and more cold/uncomfortable stuff, in an attempt to improve my strength and mental toughness. Yes, I completely suck at throwing, as I have virtually no fast-twitch muscle, but I'm trying to get a little more explosive anyway. The Zerchers felt surprisingly good. If I can stay healthy and consistent, look for the weight to increase substantially over the next few months.

I've talked before about the synergistic nature of exercise and cold exposure, and this was another good session for that. It was 25 degrees when I started, and had "warmed" to 29 degrees by the time I finished. My hands and feet got a little cold, mainly while in the snow, but my torso was warm (and even a little sweaty) the entire time. The brown adipose tissue (BAT) is activated and effective!
