I managed to do 3 chin-ups per set well and without reaching the limit, so I'm satisfied, a good start to the week. :)
This workout got a lot of ideas going in my head. :LOL:

On a regular basis I find myself "re-evaluating" some workouts that I wasn't particularly impressed with when I first saw them, and everything can be useful after all. :)

@graoumia I always buy large quantities of tea because it is convenient and above all because I really like to have large supplies of something that I adore. :)

P.S. This amount will last me for about a year and a half.
 
You will really drink 5kg in one year and a half? not just you ? But if you will i am not judging, i am just amazed...
It depends on whether my wife wants to drink it too, she usually prefers a milder green tea.
I drink a 400ml mug in the morning and one in the afternoon, so 8g of tea a day, so 625 days if I'm the only one drinking it, but usually cold and sweetened, my wife likes it in the summer too, so it could last less. :)
Being well sealed in 250g packs I already know that it will easily maintain its aroma and flavour even for a long period of time.

Today I started the day with an Irish cuppa :)

And I dusted off my Irish mug :LOL:

May the road rise to meet you,
may the wind be always at your back,
may the sun shine warm upon your face,
and the rains fall soft upon your fields and,
until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of His hand.

An Irish Blessing

Even my wife couldn't resist the smell and wanted a cup but from tomorrow she'll go back to green tea because she likes a more delicate flavour. :)

I would say that I have brilliantly solved the dilemma of when to do strength training by directly choosing combat workouts with strength exercises. :LOL:
I'm planning a mini weekly shop to do by walking to the supermarket, carrying a backpack and limiting the shopping to just one bag. This way I add a 2 km walk (there and back) and lighten a bit the big shop that was becoming a workout. :)

Yesterday I tested my idea of combining a walk with a little shopping at the supermarket, and it went well. :)
The distance (1km+) is not too much and with a backpack carrying home the purchased products is not tiring.

In July and August I will be going back to strength training in the gym since there won't be a Muay Thai class and so I thought it would be a good idea to start doing some training at home with kettlebells this month.
I'm a little out of shape but there is hope. :)
