Heavy Bag and Circuits

Goddammit!! I was half way through a great heavy bag workout when the bag came crashing down. After around 15 years, the quick link connecting the chain to the bolt in the rafters finally wore down to less than the thickness of pencil lead. I got it back up, but then I didn't have time to finish the workout before I had to leave for a training session :(
After the session though, I managed to finish the heavy bag workout without any heavy objects falling on me. After that, I did a similar workout to the one I had my client do.....pullups (I had her do band rows), pushups, squats and crunches.....9 circuits of 25, 20, 15, 10, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 reps.

Hi! I'm Patrick Frey, your in-home, online and on-the-trail Personal Trainer, Fitness Educator, and Strength & Conditioning Specialist. With over 35 years of fitness experience, and certifications from the National Strength and Conditioning Association, the International Sports Sciences Association, and the American Council on Exercise, I have the knowledge and experience you need to reach your health and fitness goals. My interests over the years have included running, bicycling, cross-country skiing, hiking, backpacking, bodybuilding, powerlifting, olympic lifting, volleyball, and general health, fitness and nutrition. I've trained hundreds of people of all ages and abilities from elite athletes to sedentary couch potatoes, in everything from well equipped gyms to un-equipped homes, online, in the park and on the trails. To me, there's nothing more exciting than helping people improve their health, look better, feel better, or improve their sports performance.
