That prowler and kb swing superset sounds like it would be pretty potent.

Nice work.

-never been more soaked from sweat than this session, 15mins airdyne then extra conditioning, brutal stuff.
-had some poor choice combinations on swings with other grip work
recently @shaneinga as it taxes the grip big time. at least with the prowler it’s just push like hell and no tough grip rqd

That’s got to be utterly miserable, my dude. Well done!

For sure! Moreso given HR was above 150 for 15mins during the airdyne prior! Thanks for dropping in again!

-plumbing (pic) work yest, fixing a slow leak found in mains to house. nothing like jackhammering reinforced concrete paths, and digging on ‘rest day’.
-squats upped by 5kg. With shorter rests between sets and breathing I made it thru
-left OHP at same weight.
-keep foam rolling them glutes… some soreness but only when rolling, feeling fine otherwise.

Plumbing work is the worse, and to make it even worse you added in yard work and concrete work. The trifecta of suck. LoL. Definitely not a rest day!

-flat as a tack after poor broken sleep last 2 nights… return to work stress surely a factor.
-reduced airdyne and less conditioning accordingly.
-more recovery required but got today’s work in.
-plumbing fun indeed @shaneinga , pinhole leak resulted in last water bill doubling… glad i found the issue. Add in doing the digging etc whilst a toddler wants out of the house to help… more fun…!

-note to self: bracing so crucial… squats were tough today, just got them done.
-rest day yest, walks and playground time with jnr, mowed lawns etc.
-thanks @shaneinga my home setup is a bit lacking atm, shed is full of other stuff - most gym things are packed away. Generally using a commercial gym but get a few extra things done at home, especially with more ‘working from home’ now office restrictions are ramping up, with masks etc.

‘Only’ 44 reps though… when compared to deep water 10x10… it’s not even half. But it still felt like plenty of volume to me!
