Short Session to Start the Week…

Not a great start to the week, but it happens.

Buoyed by my “success” (🤣) at doing 10 minutes unbroken with the 4 kg mace — hey, I couldn’t even do 1 rep 6 weeks ago — I thought I’d try the same with my 5 kg gada.

Sadly, it was not to be as, 5 minutes in, something grip-related (I believe) went wrong and I felt a sharp pain in the index-finger metacarpal on my left hand. Having memories of injuring my ring-finger metacarpal some years ago, and which still rears its head every now and then, I decided not to try and push on.

As I was putting the equipment away, I decided to do a side-by-side comparison with 2 of the steel maces (4 kg and 6 kg) and the 5 kg gada. I might need to cut that handle down a bit this week as the extra length sure adds some!

In other news, my back was really achy this morning (a sign of a decent night’s sleep for me), but the rope flow helped.

Lunch

Lunch was striploin, 3 boiled duck eggs, 3 rashers of bacon (too slow with the camera and I ate one 😀), an avocado, and my mayo/mustard/black pepper mix.

Post-lunch walk: 15 minutes.
