So, today was day 1 of the new routine. Used a single 20kilo kettlebell as follows:
Superset ladder–clean and press/pullups 2l,2r/1; 4l,4r/2; 6l,6r/3 repeat.
Superset ladder–goblet squat/single leg deadlift (each side) 2,4,6 repeat.
TGU l/r 1,2,3; repeat
Hanging leg raises 5×5.
Then the 9 minute workout using a 14kilo kettlebell; Ended with a 30 minute brisk walk.
The workout was done fasted and outdoors. Overcast and mid 70’s with strong gusty breezes.
What did I glean? I should learn the double KB movements. I’ll get in touch with my KB instructor and see if we can work in 2 sessions in the next couple of weeks. The 3rd of the 3/3 TGU’s were very hard to keep shoulder packed. That will be something I can use as concrete evidence of progress as they get easier. The hanging leg raises were more like knees to elbows….no, they were more like knees “near” elbows. Again, room for improvement. The 14kilo kettlebell was too light, however my next step up was 20kilo. I could possibly go to the 24 kilo bell for the strength portion, but I’ll wait for a week or two to see how I adapt to the increase in volume before increasing the weight.
I’ve ordered two 16 kilo KB’s from Rogue. They should be here by the end of the week.
Diet and water will be spot on today.
