Home workout: KB Swings and Push Ups

30-20-10 20kg KB Swings and Push Ups for time.

Time as RX'd: 13'13

After a day of ring dip practices. Did 30 in total today. Will start to practice holding in the upright position for time.

Been a while since I put an entry in... still training but not enough time to keep this up to date. Will do soon!

I want these bad boys!

Elite Rings

So I have finally set up my Elite Rings at home. Rings dips are so much harder than bar dips, the amount of wobble is ridiculous. Can really feel the burn.


(Excuse the mess in the "spare" bedroom!)

I've been really slack with keeping my workouts up to date on this website and I've been slack in general when it comes to physical fitness... I'll be adding postdated workouts asap. My 20kg kettlebell eventually arrived yesterday and I did my first workout with it this morning.
