The gym here is quite well equipped and I am still mostly using the machines in particular the bike machine. Since my elbow has started coming good again after a year of issues I am starting to add weight lifting to the routine. There are no bars here but there are dumbells the largest of which are 10kg each. Now I am not sure who they are expecting in this retirement village to lift 20kgs even from waist to shoulder. At home I can now do 25 repetitions of a 7kg weight from waist to overhead. Here I struggled to do 10 with a 10kg weight. All in good time I guess. We also have a proper bar where I have been working it without weights but if I can do a 10kg handweight overhead then I can add a few kilos. I guess that is called raising the bar.
