Fitness Update: 25 August

Today was my day to work the lower body. I squeezed out 3 sets of full squats (as in ass to the grass) with 100kg on my back. Then I headed off to supervise at our harrier club meet—I didn’t run. Once back at home, I did four sets of power clean with up to 55kg.

It’s great how these compound exercises stress the whole body. I hate the term ‘core’, but that’s what they hit, aside from the legs of course.
