On Saturday (yes, two days ago), I did my clean and presses followed by kettlebell swings in intense fashion. It was my “heavy” day:
Five clean and press ladders, up to four reps.
Roll two dice to determine the number of minutes to do kettlebell swings at 100% effort.
I’m still building up to being able to do five ladders of up to four “rungs” apiece. Remember that a “ladder” is one rep left, one rep right; two reps left, two reps right, etc. up to – in this case – four reps left, four reps right. I was able to do that the first three rounds, then only up to three “rungs” the last two rounds.
I rolled the ol’ dice and rolled a FIVE! Hallelujah! Only five minutes doing kettlebell swings like a psychopath. That’s the idea. I did KB swings at 100% effort for five minutes. Like last week, my failure point was the grip. This time I did 140 reps in five minutes.
It was a short-ish workout and perfect for Christmas Eve. I took Christmas day off and hit it again tonight. I’ll post about that next.
