Happy with the skullcrusher reps, was a struggle doing 3x10 a few weeks ago on my right side but would seem my triceps are getting stronger on my right and strength imbalance is slowly correcting itself. Was getting some soreness in my right shoulder with the incline but I widened the grip a bit and the pain eased off.
Enjoyed this training week and having come off the back of the swing challenge the workouts haven’t been particularly taxing. Off on holiday today up to Scotland via Durham, managed to sneak in 2 KB’s and my bands as I’ve got more room in the car with my eldest being away with her mom.
Yeah it’s not really my forte taking pictures of any kind. Plus living with 3 other females mirror access is limited. I am running the Krypteia program out of forever doing the full 17 weeks

Also got what I’d definitely put in the easy conditioning category yesterday with a 3 mile round trip walk to the beach I spent the entirety of it pushing my daughter in her wheelchair or with my youngest on my shoulders. There were some uphill bits which were quite steep and whilst I was pushing her along got me thinking about why I train.
To paraphrase @SvenG I’m training for life, yes it would be nice to have a specific purpose to train for such as when I was playing rugby throughout my 20’s but those days are gone, I’m training for something infinitely more important than any of that. It’s so I can push a 35kg girl in her wheelchair to the top of a hill so she isn’t excluded in any family activities and then be able to carry a 3 year old back down when she doesn’t want to walk.
@rugby_lifting having followed your log for a while I’m in no doubt you’d be doing the same
@SvenG thank you, means a lot coming from you. Was thinking about your log when you were at your kids swim meet and you told one of the other dads you were training for life. It was a bit of a epiphany moment to be honest as I’ve been asking myself why recently

Should be going home early tomorrow morning in anticipation of a five hour drive. Glad I bought the KB’s with me this week, I also remembered this week how much early morning workouts suck without caffeine.
In other observations the south east coast of Scotland by the border is amazing. Despite it being school holidays it was remarkably quiet and relaxing. Edinburgh, during the fringe festival, is not ideal to take children unless you’re going for the actual festival.
You go M1?
We did it last Friday and it was horrendous, left the West Midlands at 10 and didn’t get to Durham until nearly 5 albeit with a stop in Leeds after one of the kids barfed
Conditioning
Hills x11 (1 more from last week) followed by 1.5 mile walk
Was going to add my weighted vest but the straps are in such a shit state I can only really use it for walking now, probably time to purchase another - if anyone has any recommendations for weighted vests up to 20kg please let me know.
