Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

Thanks Patrick,Cliff and Bill..nice workouts you all have.
Yesterday and today i have been working out at home, i have few dumbells and kettlebells at home and a pullup bar so when time is on the card i try to train and don't skip workouts.
Yesterday easy, 10 sets of 15 reps/12 kg Db on hammer curls.
I'll do those with a partial squat at the beginning on each rep, rehab at the same time for my knees.
Then some calf raise with 5x15 with 24kg kettlebells in my hands.

Today some side laterals
50/6kg dumbell and 4x15/12kg Db
Then one leg stiffleg deadlifts with kettlebell in one hand (balance movment :) )
10/8kg Kb and 4x10/16kg Kb
Then
EMOM
Pullups (underhand grip) 4 reps
5 minutes
Few minutes rest and again for 4 minutes.

Short and sweet these two days.
Yesterday we had a nice -10celsius (14F) here in southern Finland
today a very nice -3 celsius (26F) at the morning. Dogwalked about three times longer walk,than i usually walk with the dog at the mornings.
