My glutes were feeling the leg workout a bit yesterday. I walked 18 holes.

I did my thrusters sitting down to the bench, to protect my back. It was really humid today, so a lot of sweating! We finished in 38:11. Then we did a quick five minutes or so of hip mobility.

On to the three day weekend!

Always Adjusting

Walked 18 yesterday because the course had an outing today. It got pretty sticky out there. Late workout today since B had a meeting.

Since it was already pretty late we didn’t do a third set on the final piece. Took us 33:24 to get through and it was a sweaty one. The single leg RDLs were bothering my back in warm-up, so I just did regular with the kettlebell. After the first set of thrusters I grabbed a medicine ball to squat down to, which helps to limit my depth and save my back.

Week 7 of Chest

Mowed the lawn yesterday but didn’t workout since I’d done 4 days in a row already. Got a lot of stuff done at B’s house this morning before it got too hot and was out in the garage by 12:30 for our workout. Will be the hottest day of the summer I think and with humidity will feel over 100° this afternoon.
