I dont often try kettlebell deadlifts, as I normally do the barbell version. Tried the single leg version first with a 50# KB in one hand and a 62# KB in the other. Didn’t fair so well. Need to look at the proper technique more. Instead, tried standard two legged two KB deadlift and did something that tweaked my lower back, so my form was definitely off.
KB DL 62#/50# x 5 x 2
35# KB Snatch x 5/side
Stopped because of the back pain.

Light evening movement after sitting at a desk and long drive home. Didn’t want much, but didn’t want to just plop down on the couch either.

Haven’t rowed a 5K since Dec 09, over two years ago. It was time.
5K Row, 24:27
Rowed in Vibrams…. the kind without tops across your foot, so the foot strap on the rower left a nice raw spot on the top of my feet.

Did various odd workouts/activities the past couple of days, but didn’t record them (bad bob!)
Bear Crawls
Did 10 bear crawls up and down the stairs on all fours. It was a unique experience going head down. I can definitely feel it in my shoulders.
Not an orientation I’m accustomed to on the stairs. Penny thought I was nuts, but who am I to change her opinion of me now? LOL
