I lifted a the gym on Thursday. I sometimes will venture out of my home gym in my basement to workout. It’s different scenery and gets me out of the house and started with my day. Here’s what I did. . .
Front Squat x 6 + 1-arm DB Rows x 8 + Jack Knife x 10 (3 sets)
Bar Bridge x 6 + Super Plank x 8 each + Farmer Walk (3 sets)
It was a good workout and everything was heavy! I attempted to do regular bench press with a bar, however my shoulder wasn’t feeling it, so I did the Super Planks instead. In dealing with my shoulder and back issues, I’ve always got to modify and find other exercises that work, yet don’t cause me pain.
On Friday, after 30 minutes of kickboxing, part of my workout was helping the UPS guy unload my some kettlebells of his truck. 316.8 pounds, to be exact! The poor UPS guy was having a hard time, so I helped him. Yes, I lifted all the heavy boxes and packages that had warning labels on them. . . then I had to unpack and carry them down to the basement. The 28 & 32 kg kettlebells are monsters!
Great UPS story. It reminded me of this ad for Werksan barbells:
