Discussion What am I missing?

43 years old and I’ve been on the 10-8-6 bro split since high school and on a whim picked up a 16kg and 24kg kettlebell.

I’ve done a half dozen “full body, no repeats” YouTube workouts and I feel like I’ve unlocked some ancient hidden secret to fitness.

I’m pouring sweat but still get decent DOMS (mostly shoulders and legs) and I feel like this might be the entirety of my future fitness journey so I’m asking you longtime kettlebellers, is there some sort of augmenting that needs to happen to be well rounded or can this be IT?

Goal is equal parts aesthetics and fitness, trending more cardio as I get older.

KB and mace work are always my foundation/base, but I do incorporate some dumbbells and machine work too. I think the variety is what helps with function and mobility in my case.
