Well, Boulder, CO has announced a shelter-in-place order for the next 2.5 weeks which means I won’t have access to the gym where I have been training. I guess I didn’t get to spend that much time back with the barbell after all!
I have a couple of kettlebells at home, 16 kg and 24 kg, but I wanted something a little heavier to tide me home for the next little while. This morning I walked over to Barbell Strategy and borrowed a 36 kg bell. Rucking that thing home was quite the ordeal!
Now I think I’ll stick to grease-the-groove style training for a while. I can pistol squat bodyweight for sets of 1-3 and press the 36 kg for singles. I’ll try to find somewhere nearby to practice pull-ups and I’ll mix in swings and snatches every couple of days.
My training today:
Ruck: 36 kg 2.5 miles
Press: 36 kg 4x1 GTG
Pistol squat: BW 4x1 GTG
