Life happens, and you make adjustments not excuses.

We couldn't get in our normal Holder family fun Monday. So, Kristy went for a run and I got in some presses and pull-ups.  Nothing to challenging or physically demanding. Just some nice work.  I chose to do presses in a 5 rung ladder scheme.  What that means is, each rep is a rung on the ladder.  Perform one rep on each side, two reps on each, three reps, all the way to five.  A five rung ladder finishes with 15 reps.  I know what you're thinking. Why?  Instead of cranking out 15 reps and possibly fading toward the end, in a ladder you stay fresh by keeping the reps short and making every rep perfect. 

1) KB press (ladders)
   1st ladder x 5 rungs 20kg
   2nd          x 5            24kg
   3rd           x5             32kg

In between ladders I got in 10 pull-ups different grip each time.

2) Weighted Pull-ups
     2x5  24kg bell hanging from belt

3) Double KB Cleans
   3x5   24's

For those of you wondering what the kg are in lbs. Multiply 2.2 x kg= lbs. Kettbells come in kgs that why I use kg. 

Ex: 24 kg = 53lbs (52.8 to be exact)

Family fun day will be on Wednesday if you want to check it out then.
