It's been a hectic week so far--with my car dying twice, having to repair that myself, and getting ready for a friend's wedding this weekend--I've had a hard time fitting in training time. I've been greasing the groove whenever I can with pistols, from just my body weight, up to holding 66lbs, and doing clean/press/windmill/snatch/windmill complexes whenever I can pick a kettlebell up. I haven't really had time for a good grind though. So yesterday I took a break from fixing my car to do this:
Warm up: Barbell Bear Complex (Deadlift/Power Clean/Front Squat/Push Press/Back Squat/Push Press) worked from 55lbs up to 125lbs
Workout: 5 rounds
1 Deadlift 315lbs
2 Pistols 53lbs Kettlebell
3 Chest to Bar Pullups
4 Clean and Jerks 72lbs Kettlebell
I finished in 9:49
It was simple and short, but the weights were heavy enough to get my heart rate through the roof.
Today I've got to finish running errands, so I greased the groove all morning with the kettlebell complex I described earlier, and finished with four rounds of one minute of kettlebell swings with thirty seconds rest using a 53lb kettlebell.
There's no excuse not to train. Invest time in your training, and treat it as such. It's not simply a workout, you're training to improve yourself, and become better overall. Those who train intelligently and with fervor improve regularly, those who don't, stagnate.
