Today's gym session was a little different from usual. I'd signed up for a "Get Fit Rock Climbing Course," which is running two days a week over the next four weeks. It involves 40 minutes of bootcamp exercises (mostly core work) interspersed with climbing.
Constant bootcamp exercises over 40 minutes are sufficiently draining that they make climbing 4/5 grade routes feel restful by comparison. (Three climbs, so one every fourteen minutes or so?)
Because I am stubborn, and also wanted to lift, I followed up CLIMBING BOOTCAMP with another hour in the weights area. Ouch.
Benchpress: 5x5 @60kg.
Squats: 3x8 @80kg.
Overhead press: 2x5 @20kg.
Lat raise: 3x10 @7kg/arm.
Bicep curl: 3x10 @7kg/arm.
No scales in the gym today (I wonder where they went?) so no weigh-in.
