Got myself a smaller inner tube today and filled it with sand - its much more practicle for Bulgarian Bag work. I'll use the bigger one for step-ups, lunges and the like until I get stronger. I made the mistake of cycling to the beach tho - it was far tougher than I thought it would be bringing it back!

Workout went well this evening. I'm tired but not exhausted. As I've been increasing the amount of work I've been doing the time has also increased; it took me over an hour to finish today. I'm gonna have to start thinking about splitting up the work. Morning and evening might work at the moment but it won't be an option when I start work.

So, anyway. Today consisted of

Tyre Flips
5 x 10

1 Arm Row (28kg*)
4 x 12

Sled Drag **
4 x 25m

Sledge Slams
2 x 2m28s ***

Farmers Walk (w/ blocks)
3 x 60m

I couldn't finish without messing with the new Bulgarian Bag - I love it.


*On monday I used a chain to increase the 24kg KB to 26kg. Today I locked the 16kg and 12kg KBs together












**This is a pic of my sled. There's 2x3kg med balls and a 12kg KB in the tyre and today I added 5kg of water to the keg. As you can see the keg fits perfectly into the tyre



***2m28s may sound like a strange time but I break it down to 37s swing left/37s swing right x2. This has increased from 30s each side at the start.
