Monday night, back at Melody's

Tonight's workout was at Melody's house. It was nice to exercise outside because the air isn't stale and you're not cramped for space between a bunch of machines.

6 lb. sledgehammer:
30x on each side - circular swings - swing behind, up, and then back down on one side

sandbag exercises (I don't remember how many lbs this sandbag was):
lift a sandbag above the head and walk across the yard with it
15x - lift sandbag with both hands and onto forearms, lift from there above head, drop back to forearms and then the ground
15x - hold sandbag in the middle and squat so one end is touching the ground; stand and lift that end up to one shoulder, touch it back to the ground and then up again to the other shoulder
15x - lift sandbag over one shoulder, then lift it straight above the head and lower to the other shoulder...and back

12kg kettlebell:
20x - 2 handed swings
20x on each side - 1 handed swings
20x total - alternating 1 handed swings
15x - suitcase squats (2 kettlebells)

heavy ropes:
20 seconds alternating waves

more of the 6lb. sledgehammer:
30x on each side - straight swings - lift straight up and over head but being careful not to slam yourself in the back, and then straight up over the head and back down

lever exercise with a small hammer (for grip):
15x - extend arm straight out in front and grip the hammer towards the bottom of the handle, letting it lean away from you and then back towards you
