Jim vs. Pull-ups, Push-ups, Sit-ups, Sandbag Squats, Kettlebell Swings

Friends visited this weekend, which meant I neither slept well nor ate well. Came into Sunday evening feeling like crap, but wanting to do something. So I made something up that I felt like my body could handle, without it being too easy.

10, 9, 8… 2, 1 — not for time — of:
pull-ups
push-ups
sit-ups
sandbag squats, 25lbs
kettlebell swings, 53 lbs

I definitely took my time with this, which was good: especially as the rep count lowered, I focused strongly on my form. It didn’t end up being  a terribly light workout, when assessed through fatigue and sweat, but hopefully I’ll be back to doing more vehement work in coming days.
