Starting the 40kg Journey

Well truth is it started long ago back on day 1 of the Kettlebells in december of 2004. Yesterday I did do

Military Press
40k/1/1x5

Singles, the deadlift approach or more appropriately the powerlifitng approach

Pistols
40/1/1x3

Left side is shaky, right side is solid!


Today was the first big workout day. I just wanted to 'play' around and feel the 40kg in my hands. I figure the more I handle it, even on a low level the stronger and more 'comfortable' I will become. So, this was a step forward in that process.

Windmill
24/5/5x3

Nice warm-up

Snatches
24/3/3x1
32/3/3x1
40/3/3x3

Ok, this is a good start and great for the confidence. I choose to bring the bell to the shoulder after each snatch as I did not want to overload my body on the downswing. First things first, get comfortable with the bell overhead and solid! Right side is a little short of the lefts capabilities due to grip strength. Overall, 5 and 5 is near

Cleans
40/5/5x3

No issues here, still just a great exercise. Cannot wait to do doubles.

Squats
40/3/3x3

Great and this was ass to the grass style. Again, right a little behind due to stabilizing the bell but no worries. 5 and 5 is near

Renegade Rows
40/3/3x3

Just playing around here. stabilized on a 24kg and really focused on minimal rotation as I pulled to fully engage the core! Mission successful

Janda
24/5x3

Crunch and Toe Touch
24/5x3

Seated Rotation (modified hot potato)
24/5/5x3

YOGA
25 minutes of good yoga!

Heart was pumping, muscles working, sweat beading sounds like a great workout! A new path along my journey begins in my continued evolution! I look forward to all that lies in front of me and thank you for joining along with me as I take this path. Please feel free to contribute and much success on your journeys
