More troubled waters

Man, I've had a rough time in my personal life here for the last couple of months.  On top of that, work is more taxing than it has been in the last couple of years.  Training has come to a stand-still. I need to make the time to train, just as a healthy outlet, and to keep from losing all that I've worked for, physically.

How I'm managing quarantine

Man, so much has happened since I last posted. COVID pandemic was a huge one.  I made changes to keep systemic fatigue low so I could train almost every day.  Sometimes I could go 8 days with no rest days.  Sometimes only 3 days. The key for me has been to move to push/pull splits, and to manage fatigue with ladders.  Here is a simple framework you can follow. Add rest days between sessions whenever you need it.

Kettlebell swing: 3 x 5-10-15 Day 4...
