Back to Rope Flow, Steel Clubs, and Snatches

Having been out of action for a few days because of ‘life’ things (home repairs leading to an achy back, and a mild bout of diarrhoea), I’m glad to get back to training today.

Admittedly, I did think of holding off for another 24 hours but, as it stands while I write this, I’ve just finished my post-lunch session and I’m glad I didn’t.

I don’t know if I’ll do much else today, so here’s what I’ve done thus far:

• 10 minutes rope flow
• Steel clubs (4 x 10 reps of each, followed by 1 minute rest):
  • Squats – 12 kg
  • Front strike left and right: 8 kg and then 10 kg (well chuffed to use the 10)
  • Chest press – 8 and 10 kg

Roman Chair

My new Roman Chair arrived a couple of days back.

I hadn’t used it as yet (due to the aforementioned dodgy stomach) and after removing the foot rest, I felt more comfortable trying it out. Sadly, I don’t yet have the flexibility and movement to use it with the support (the RC is too short with it), and only trust it if I can plant my feet.

Anyhoo, we got there but a few short ‘hangs’ and some plank-type holds was enough for me today.

I know this is going to help a lot, but it’s something I’m going to have to build up to.

Lunch

Am back on my old favourite this week. Chicken thighs, heavy cream, cabbage, spinach and mushrooms. Plus some red onion because I hate throwing food out. 😀

Post-lunch Session

First, my 15 minute walk, and then because there was a cool breeze out there (or there was when I initially set out), and I need to start getting back on the bells, I did 100 snatches with a 12 kg bell.

Shed Storage

I also updated my shed storage to include my new 12 kg mace.
