Since we moved Wednesday’s workout to Thursday, we’ll move Friday’s workout to Saturday. Today’s our strength day, with our 5×5 plan. Again, as we’re still in our break-in period, I’m going to stick with the 16 kg bells, while my wife will use her pair of 9kg bells.
Basic warm-up
Cables — Overhead pulldown x 20; Front chest pull x 20; Tricep extension x 20; One-arm press x 20; Bent row x 20. We’ll do these using Lifeline USA’s cables. The trick is to stay relatively light and use a quick pace to get the blood pumping.
Squats — Close-stance x 8; Medium-stance x 8; Wide-stance x 8; Hurdler squat stretch x 8; Cossack stretch x 8; Boot strapper x 8; Hindu jump squat x 8.
Kettlebell painkiller complex — Windmill x 5 each side; Good morning x 5 each side; Twisting deadlift x 5 each side; Swings x 20 (two-handed). These are done with a kettlebell lighter than you normally use and should be relatively easy. Try to focus on the movements and get the muscles warmed-up for the workout to follow.
Bridge — Start with 30 seconds.
