New weights and set-up

Thanks to my Son (PT) for passing on a weight pulley system and some thoughtful birthday presents from all my children I am now the proud owner of a new weights set-up.

I have a great lateral pull-down bar, which should help me train for pull-ups - similar action but different direction. Plus a rope for some bicep action.

I borrowed some additional weights and I am good to go. First session of new set involved some 50kg lateral pull-downs. Let's hope it goes someway to improve the physique!

Meanwhile, the cardio is taking a bit of a back step, especially as this weather remains grey and very wet. A few treadmill and Peloton sets sprinkled in to the mix but would prefer sone longer outdoor sessions. No excuse for not running outside (although focus on strength) but would love to get in some longer cycles on road, gravel or Brompton.

Still keen on my Brompton adventure to Brussels in May/June. Might convert the e-Brompton back to analogue and try some test rides - one planned, from home to London and then back on train.
