Yesterday I did the Armor Building Complex, but I did the one kettlebell version. The protocol is discussed here in this 2 minute video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRMQuI47Qow This was my first time trying it and I used a 20 kg bell and I went for 20 rounds.

Today was jump rope and body weight. Nice, quick workout when you don't want to over do it but still get a good sweat in. - 50 jump ropes - 10 push ups - 50 jump ropes - 15 air squats - 50 jump ropes - 20 reverse crunches All of this is 1 round. Go for 5 rounds total (750 jump ropes and 200 reps of body weight exercises). This took me around 20 minutes. Next time I might add a movement for the back. Maybe 50 jump ropes and 5 pull ups.

Today's workout came from a Lebe Stark YouTube short. I lost the link, but here is the workout: Single KB, Go for 10 Rounds 5 row per side 5 swing per side 5 clean per side 5 jerk per side That is 50 of each movement per side, or 400 total reps. Due to the volume of the workout here I went with a 16 kg bell. It was tiring but I was able to do it. Not a bad way to start off the week.

Today's workout was the Cindy. The Cindy workout is a popular 20-minute bodyweight benchmark workout from CrossFit. Set a timer for 20 minutes and complete As Many Rounds As Possible (AMRAP) of: - 5 pull-ups - 10 push-ups - 15 air squats I saw recently that Tom Holland (aka Spiderman) has a PR of 27 rounds. That is absolutely incredible. I got 5 rounds in about 18 minutes. The pull-ups were a huge limiting factor for me. Halfway through round 3 I was starting to kip pretty hard with my legs to get myself up on the pull-ups. But I struggled through them nonetheless. 5 isn't great but at the end that is still 25 pull-ups, 50 push ups, and 75 air squats. Finisher today was the kettlebell figure 8: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/NGzHa2Zahe0 I had never done this before so I used a 12 kg bell to get the feel of it. I did two sets of 1 minute. Oooh baby could I feel my obliques burning during this movement. I liked it. And finally I did a 1 minute static over head hold with double 16 kg bells.

Today's workout came from a channel called Midlife Fit Club on YouTube. My first time using one of his workouts and it was a damned good one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nb3QIIvfybY Single Arm Deadlifts L - 5 Dead Hang Cleans L - 5 Reverse Lunges L - 5 Thrusters L - 5 Repeat on the other side. Completing both sides counts as 1 round. Do 5 rounds. I did the first 3 rounds with a 20kg bell. Started feeling super fatigued, and my garage is probably over 100 degrees right now, so I switched to a 16 kg bell for the last 2 rounds. Finisher was a one minute overhead static hold with two 16 kg bells.
