Goblet squats +20kg disc 100
27.5 minutes to complete.
Slightly slower due to the 20kg disc being more awkward to hold, probably would have done better with a 24kg kettlebell.

Didn’t fix the seat on the Airdyne properly so half way through it dropped and I had to get off and raise it again, apart from feeling stupid it meant that I didn’t hit the calorie target I was aiming for (over 61). I’ll know better next time, on the up side it brought up a vivid memory of riding a Raleigh Chopper when I was a kid :grinning:

36 minutes to complete this, the last 5 pull ups took 6 minutes, arms were wrecked and holding the goblet squats in position was harder with every set, it’s not supposed to be easy though.

Warm up on cross trainer, then
Leg press 20,4x125kg 10 breaths between sets
Roman chair squats 10,4x bodyweight 10 breaths between sets
Hammer seated row 6x70kg+2 single arm reps on each arm

On the pulldowns I alternated arms and the arm that wasn’t moving held the contracted position. Seemed to work well.
