I have invented a cruel and unusual home workout with kettlebells and clubbells; it involves a lot of Turkish get-ups and my new favourite obscure exercise, the Sotts press.
Barbells were relatively light this week as I've tweaked a muscle or tendon in one arm and it is not co-operative with some lifts. But I consoled myself by starting to use the assisted pull-up machine to work towards a one-armed pull-up -- the unilateral movement is really important for climbing and I've noticed with regular pull-ups that my right arm is doing more than its fair share of the work, so I want to get my left arm to activate a bit more.
(Also, as ever, there has been climbing.)
ETA: Also I was in the gym and not only was there another woman in there, she was DOING TURKISH GET-UPS. \o/ Admittedly, it was her trainer's idea not hers, but still.
ETA2: And I got in a fingerboard session! Grow strong, little tendons, grow strong.
