It's good to be back at the gym. I liked having my odd challenges but it meant giving up the daily workouts that do so much for me (mentally probably more than physically.)

YW: Bench press then sit ups - 15,14,13... 1. I had to stop the bench press after the set of 10 because the twinge in my back came back. It's basically gone and I am able to bench press again, but obviously I'm not yet able to bench press as much as I used to. I switched to kettlebell swings for the remainder. Then it was maximum pullups, and running 400m at the end of every set until 100 pullups were done. I managed it in four sets, doing 35, 30, 20, 15. 35 is a lot of pullups and I was coming very close to kipping, which always felt like and awkward action for my clumsy self.

I'll have to take this format on in future. It was a good way to get a lot of work done in a short time.

I was given a gift. It's not my birthday or Christmas or anything, but Coffee Snob came back from Japan with this.
