Hotel gym, 30 minutes

This one was done in a hotel gym with a barbell and a rack of dumbbells. Straight sets, full rest, nothing clever.

Warm up

2000m row.

The work

3 sets of each. Finish one movement before you start the next.

Scaling

No barbell, two dumbbells for the deadlift. No box, use a bench or the bottom stair. No dumbbells, carry your bag. Pick a weight you could do three more reps with.

Notes

Rest about 90 seconds between sets. The calf and single leg work are doing the real job here, so do not rush them.

Tell me what you thought of this week's standard, whether you held it, started it and quit, or there's something else on your mind. Just hit reply.

Whatever you got in today, that's enough. It all counts. See you on the next one.

The rest of the week lives in the Strava club.

Tony.
