2016-11-11: Blarney Castle, then to Brehon Hotel, Killarney

Started the day in the gym at Fota Island, but given time limitations only did cardio and chest there. Had a nice walk around, and climb up, Blarney Castle. Had an afternoon gym session at the Brehon Hotel.

Morning workout

Elliptical trainer

18 minutes

Machine chest press

20x25kg
5x45kg
3x65kg
3x85kg
3x105kg
3x125kg
4x145kg
3x4x140kg
2x140kg (failed rep)
5x100kg

This was not as good as hoped. Second to last of Smolov Jr bench is an 8x4 set. This isn't bench, but the substitute I have available, and that wasn't a heavy set of 8x4. Disappointed, but what can I do. I don't know what weight translates into what from this machine to bench, so went heavy.

Blarney workout

I list this as a workout given the intensity

Walking

90 minutes or so

Climbing, carrying 15kg daughter on one arm

Up and down the winding castle stairs to the top

I would never have gone up there with my almost 3 year old daughter if I had known I would need to carry her up slippery, winding stairs while supporting myself with a rope. Jeeeez.

Afternoon workout

Another hotel gym. Max 35 kg barbell again. Oh well. Here's a picture of the barbell 
The red "plates" are 5kg...

Overhead Press

10x10kg
10x20kg
20x30kg PR
10x35kg

Power snatch

5x30kg
2x8x35kg

Barbell Front Squat

10x30kg
2x15x35kg PR

Swimming

15 minutes. No idea about distance, as the pool was a tiny, non standard, "spa-pool".
