An early morning workout shoveling the drive and then a ten-minute walk before work. Twenty minutes ... a nice thing to clear my legs. After work, I got this done for 36 minutes
Warm up on the elliptical, then got to 35 minutes in the end. A nice warm up and a nice warm down.
5-10 deadlift using KB
10 TRX bod rows
15 push ups
20 h2h kb swings
10 kb rows
20 step ups.
I had a crappy start to the week, but this seems to be an ok ending. Tomorrow is the NRU AGM and there are lots of things to talk about after.
I went through my old posts here yesterday and found the one from Friday, Nov 26, which had a wish list.
I'd like to do a follow up on it now.
1) Mats - got 'em. Still using them in the basement and the garage.
2)Space - have a great space at the moment. Half a garage is awesome.
3)Bars and Plates - I'm up to over 400 lbs in plates. I bought 100 lbs in metal ones last year from the Restore. Work perfectly.
4)A bigger tire - glad I didn't go this way. I have no more space for something like that. Even my rugby club got rid of the ones they had a while ago.

| I've come a long way - still have most of this stuff |
5)I do have a whiteboard which I liberated from the garbage at my house. I have three workouts on the garage door. Works perfectly
6)I have cool posters. And rugby shirts. And trophies. It's pretty cool.
7)I gave up on a heater. I just don't use it. Summers I train outside, winters I just wear more clothing. I wear gloves to protect my hands from holding cold kettlebells and that's been working well.
8)I gave that punching bag away, replaced it and don't use the new ones. Shame, really.
9)I got boxing gloves, which I last used in 2016. Also shameful. I recently discovered a boxing spot in a random hidden part of Cedar Springs.
10)No new gi needed - I can use one from the club I joined every time I go.
11) I can't be bothered sealing the bottom of the door in the garage. Insulation works fine. Bugs don't bug me and I don't have anything for mice to eat in there nowadays.
12)Ropes - no, I have no space. Cedar Springs has them anyways.
13) Slam balls - don't use them much these days
14)I have the right amount of kettlebells. I gave away three or four over the years.
15)foam rollers and LAX balls are awesome and in abundance in the garage.
16) I got rid of the bench. Seems Cedar Springs has more than enough of them. I don't bench there, either.
17) I got a rower and then found out my knees hated it. Hated it. Gave it up when I found that out. Now have an elliptical trainer which works quite well.
18) Instruction - always continue to find and watch smart people train and talk about training. I wanted to do a KB Cert this weekend but will be President instead.
19) Valve Box - I bought one a while ago, works perfectly. Used it tonight as a matter of fact.
20) A scale - Cedar Springs has one, and I got a Bluetooth enabled one a while ago, too. Both work quite well to provide data and results.
