I havenāt had time to log my training this past week (Week 2). But I have done some type of squat every day, just for fun, and have incorporated walking lunges for distance again. I will try to log this week!

WALKING LUNGES
200 meters
Bodyweight has been a very lean and light 160. Curious if I can build some more strength at this bodyweightā¦
I also got some new equipment for my home gym! I haveāt really bought anything in awhile, so I got two new items. I found a used GHD that I am pumped about. I picked this puppy up for $175 at a used gym store about an hour from my house. It has been YEARS since I have used one of these, I canāt wait to get hamstring cramps again! lol
I also made a DB rowing handle. Some call it a Kroc Row handle, but I donāt row 200+ pounds so I refrain from calling it that. None the less, I just ordered a 2 ft piece of rod iron steel that cost me $13. I had some old standard plates and I bought a few more for .50 cents a pound. Overall, pretty cheap investment for some good implements! I love my home gym, one of my favorite spaces in the world. I have had it for just over 2 years and one of the best decisions I have ever made.

Did a 100m jog after my lunges and my right calf is feeling good. I will start back running, lightly, next Saturday. I set a 6 week rest period for that strained gastrocnemius to heal, so hopefully I can get some mileage in soon.

Iām not super strong at the moment, but my abs look good at least! Lol My wife prefers this, I prefer when I can front squat 405. Abs take very little work to achieve, just a bit of discipline with diet. A 405 front squat on the other hand, takes way more discipline and effort. In any case, at 38, Iām happy every day for the health that I have.
