I used the ski-erg for a warm-up. Only six minutes. Didn't raise the heart rate much but I felt it in upper arms and shoulders.

Well that's the gym shut for 2023. Nice to have a rest!

Advantage of having a home gym. The Ness household gym will be open on Monday and I'll probably do my usual sets. There will be just the two of us signing in to the gym as usual! 😉🤣

morning all, happy new year.

My focus has got to shift to power rather than strength with throwing season coming up. Am I going early by starting in Jan for April competition? I did a hybrid this morning, with heavy squats, but then power cleans in place of the sled that I normally do

Morning, nice going Mac, plenty of time yet for a bit both, be good to mix up training for a few weeks i reckon.

I have rotator cuff syndrome in my left shoulder, so no upper body work for 2 weeks, and some physio exercises instead.

It is feeling better after less than a week already though, so fingers crossed.

Hope it feels better soon.

Just found out the nearest gym to the hotel is €50 for the month. Hopefully I'll get good use of it though.

Hope you're better soon, Lammo.
I'm going to stop reading about that before I convince myself I've got it.

I hope not Mac, but if you're concerned better to sort it sooner rather than later...

Legs and core are taking a bit of a bettering, but also read some more of my book last night whilst waiting for my daughter to finish gymnastics, so not all bad

I like "taking a bettering" - progression
