Training 6 Getups 4x10 KB Swings Tired and running around for the kids first day back to school. I did the bare minimum

Training Shin Box with hip extensions 2x2 Pullups 4 Getups 2x4 Pushups 4x10 KB Swings Tired this morning and just went through the motions. Daughter joined me again and she can now do a getup cleanly. She is a quick learner and already has the hinge down too for deadlifts, may show her how to swing next.

Training Prying Goblet Squats Bridges Halos Shin Box with hip extensions 3x2 Pullups 3x4 Pushups 4 Getups 4x10 KB Swings Hip flexer stretch Pigeon pose Nice little workout. I was surprised that I could do two Pullups. My 16 year old daughter wanted to get up and workout with me today. I taught her how to hinge and do KB deadlifts and she did some ugly unloaded Getups. We will work on it. Nice to work out together with her and share some things.

Good points. I think it was a passing whim fueled by the giddiness of a gift card. I think I am going to save it and use it for a heavier kettlebell.

No, debating. Steel mace flow videos have caught my eye. Not sure if I would actually use it that much or not but I was given a gift card for my birthday and wondering if I should blow it on a mace.

Do I need a steel mace?

Training 3 singles Half Pullups 2x5 Scapula Pullups 4 Getups 3x10 KB Swings Just more practice. Back is doing a lot better.

Training 6 singles Half Pullups 4 Getups 3x10 KB Swings Got up late making up for lack of sleep the prior night. Sigh. No warm up or cool down today which probably isn't the best idea but with such low volume is probably OK. Anxiety without a known driver is through the roof this week. Fun times.

After the last 18 months I have really gotten used to working from home and do not want to return which is a big surprise to me. I may be ruined forever now.

Training Prying Goblet Squats Bridges Halos 6 Half Pullups 4 Getups 3x10 KB Swings Shin Box with hip extensions Pigeon pose Upward dog Good session. Not as strong as yesterday but still very good. Back is doing well with the Swings. Work Update So stuff is officially hitting the fan down here. My work sent everyone back to work from home for another month to try again to come back in September. I was only in the office for a month. In other signs of the apocalypse the local Walmart can't do pick up orders right now because all their shoppers are out sick. And the local pharmacy has set up a drive through covid test because they had lines of coughing people inside waiting for the test.

That sounds so metal!

Sleep is a key enabler that allows for every other goal to be accomplished. I look forward to watching your journey and will shamelessly steal any idea that you find to apply to my own sleep struggles. In other words, Following!

Training Jump Rope 6 singles Half Pullups 4 Getups 3x10 KB Swings Shin Box with hip extensions Pigeon pose Upward dog That felt really good, better than it has been for a long while. Felt strong in the Getups but the last one got a little bit wobbly so stopped. Swings were good, really focused on form. I could have done several more sets but don't want to push it early and want to build back up slowly. Diet I bought some organic artisanal sauerkraut. I don't taste any difference from regular kraut but I like it. Not sure what to do with it other than on a hotdog. Just grabbing a spoonful here and there.

Practice Training (zaryadka) 6x1 Half Getups 3x1 Half Pullups 2x10 KB Swings Not a lot of time this morning but got some practice in. My back is still not 100% but so much better. First Swings I have done in a while because of it.

Skill Training 90/90 Squat stretch 5x1 Half Pullups 2x5 Pushups 1x10 KB Goblet Squat 2x5 Double KB Press 1x2 KB Getup Decent workout this morning Need to get my challenge into written up

Training Shin Box with hip extensions Kick through bridges 5x1 Half Neutral Grip Pullups 2x5 Pushups 2x5 KB Deadlift 2x5 KB Goblet Squat 2x5 KB Two Hand Press Just got in some movement this morning

So I am just done. Returning to the office has been more stressful and good mood killing than it has any right to be. Combine this with Delta anxiety and a nagging back injury that doesn't seem to fully want to go away and I am done. I just don't have the time or the energy to go all out with anything. Instead of doing nothing I have decided to just practice everything. Just a little bit, small doses, mostly daily and just let accumulated skills build. Zaryadka Reading some of Pavel's work, I ran across a fun concept Zaryadka. It translates into English as Charge or Recharge but basically it is a short duration exercise routine done first thing in the morning, not to exhaustion but intended to invigorate for the day. I intend to follow the spirit of this and last challenge was more or less already doing so with Dan John's 40 Day workout. This challenge I will practice morning zaryadka with pullups, Getups, Swings, loaded carries, etc. Just practice. Diet Practice I tend to eat the same things over and over. Not much variety and most not the best choices. Keeping my practice mentally intact I am not going to stress about it but instead just try new food items. Practice adding them to my regular routine. See what sticks. That's it. Just two challenge goals. It's all I have the mental bandwidth to do right now. That being said I think that it's going to be fun to try different things without a schedule or end goal or stress. Happy challenges everyone.

Do you have lemonade? Too hot for anything else

That is awesome!

A mini. Super fun to drive but not known to be the most reliable.

Training 2x5 Scapula Pullups 2x5 KB Press 2x5 Pushups 2x5 Box Trap Bar Deadlift 180# 1x10 BB Curls 45# I am really enjoying these super short, almost daily sessions. Staying light and easy but slowly making more difficult as I go. Bumped weight up on the deadlift again. Felt fine during but afterwards having a little bit of pain. Strangely not in the injured spot but instead just to the right of it. Probably related to moving weirdly to not anger the low back. Not concerned, feels like it will be good after some stretching and a good night's sleep.

I ended up buying the car. It meets my needs and is fun to drive. I am having a little bit of anxiety worrying that something is suddenly going to break from a problem that I was not aware of. I have already put some new tires on it but that is to be expected.

Training 2x5 Scapula Pullups 2x5 KB Press 2x5 Pushups 2x5 Box Trap Bar Deadlift 160# 1x10 BB Curls 45# Planned off day but slept well last night and felt like Training. It was good to get some movement in. Back is still on the edges of tender but feel ready to add a little bit more weight on the deadlift and see how it feels. Supposed to meet a guy to look at a car today.

Training 2x5 Scapula Pullups 2x5 KB Press 1x10 Incline Pushups 2x5 Box Trap Bar Deadlift 160# 2x5 BB Curls 45# A pretty good workout. Especially considering that I wasn't feeling it this morning. A friend of ours is visiting for the weekend and we have had 2-3 beers the last two nights straight and my stomach is not liking that. Really irritated this morning. I have been looking for a decent used car just to commute to and from work but wanted something fun. Randomly saw a local mini Cooper that was dirt cheap and in really good shape. Reached out to the guy and he said he was tied up this afternoon but could show it to me the next day. I wake up and check the ad and it was already sold. I get he is going to sell it to the first person who wants it but he could have been upfront about it that someone was already looking at it and could show it if it didn't sell.

Ummm hard to say. No pain or stiffness but doesn't feel 100% either. Get a twinge occasionally during the day to day activities. Lifting is not making it angry but get the sense that if I go too heavy it's going to pounce.
