The Inner Game of Kettlebells.

(The big push.)

I was sore today. Knot in the shoulder. Knot in the back. Glute’s were sore. Quads were sore. Feeling old. Had a zit in a very inconvenient place.

MIND TRICKS!!

So I decided, stick with the 16kg bell, but how can I turn it up a little? I wanted to back off for my back and shoulder, but I was in the mood…

So I figured do a few Turkish Get-Ups, but not enough to over load the shoulder. Then rotate the bike and some swings. But let’s make it interesting…20/20 on the five?? I gave it a try. I didn’t put the TGU’s on the HRM.

TGU's
16kg, five minutes 7/7
14 reps, 493 pounds

Curcuit
Swings, on the five
16kg, 20/20

Bike to finish out the five @ 3:30 each

For a full hour
480 reps, 16,896

It was tough:

..man this sucks – jmt!
I got a pee. – jmt, you don’t have time. You’re lucky I let you have any water.
Half an hour? Oh my, I’m running out of steam. – Jmt, kick it in!
I’m not gonna make it. – Show some character!
My hands are so sweaty the bell is slipping! – Take your shirt off and use that. Times up!
I’m beat. – Where’s your pride? –Well....I use MY strap! – Quit yapping!


It was brutal, but at least I don’t hear Obi – Wan – A - Swami in my head any more!
