Well the backyard in undergoing some major changes and in regards to my training all i'm have at my disposal now is a 300lbs barbell set and my 1 pood kettlebell.
I remember a while back listening to Dan John talk about how at one time in his life all he had to train with was a barbell. Surprise surprise today i find myself in the same situation so i'm taking my inspiration from Dan (and stealing his phrase).
Started off today with what Dan calls 'The Exercise' its basically a power snatch followed by an overhead squat. I wasn't feelin to great so kept it short and decided to do 3 sets of 3 with 135lbs, it actually ended up being 3 sets of 1 powersnatch followed by 3 overhead squats with 135lbs.
Followed that with power cleans and presses with 135lbs, it went 1 clean from the ground and press followed by a clean from the waist and press followed by a clean from below the knee and press. I think i did 4 or 5 sets of that.
Finished up with some 'Dog Sprints' where i attempt to out sprint my 2 dogs.
