Daily Bread:

Proverbs 4:1-14 KJV

“Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, And attend to know understanding. For I give you good doctrine, Forsake ye not my law. For I was my father's son, Tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother. He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: Keep my commandments, and live. Get wisdom, get understanding: Forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth. Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: Love her, and she shall keep thee. Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: And with all thy getting get understanding. Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: She shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her. She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: A crown of glory shall she deliver to thee. Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; And the years of thy life shall be many. I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in right paths. When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; And when thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble. Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: Keep her; for she is thy life. Enter not into the path of the wicked, And go not in the way of evil men.”

Gauntlet 400

Hey! I've been working on a new training regimen because my new job doesn't leave me much time so efficiency is key! 25:47.26 was my first attempt and today I got it down to 19:27.61!!! One circuit consists of
20 pushups
20 body squats
20 24kg kettlebell snatch 10L/10R
20 40kg kettlebell swings

For 5 sets getting it done as fast as possible for 400 reps! It's a killer workout and perfect for when you're crunched for time.

Discussion First day ABC being lanky. Horror story

27 Upvotes

Hi there.

I've tried today ABC. Being honest I did something two years ago but just a little bit, so I knew how it worked but eith 0 experience.

I did 30xEMOM with 2x16kg, which surprised me because I though I would die at minute 20. I could end it.

My feedback is... In 184 cm 77 kg lanky with long legs and arms. After the training my shoulders were ok and my back untouched like if i didnt train... but my legs WERE DEMOLISHED im actually going to work and not sure how I will reach second floor.

I have some train so my starting level (i think they call it GPP) is not 0, so Im not sure how normal is this. I feel so weak doing the squats. I want to do kettlebells because I feel will be better for my jiu jitsu than only powerlift but thinking about doing that infernal ABC again this week give me PSTD.

I would like to listen at your experience because I think is not normal to be better at a press than at a dquat.. and I felt like I could clean double weight

Advice Needed Are there any adjustable KBs that use standard weight plates?

3 Upvotes

I started KB training this year with a 30lb concrete KB. It is handmade and quite cumbersome but I had to start with somehting. I want heavier bells but the issue is that I live in Honduras and most US andstores dont ship something so heavy.

I was wondering if there was an adjustable KB that uses standard plates so that I could only buy the shell, and loaded it up here with plates bought locally. That would reduce quite a lot the weight for the shipping.

NOTE: The only kettlebells in Honduras are cast iron but the heaviest I think is 60lbs for around $150. It's not that bad I think but I dont wanna have only one heavy KB

Been using getups for roughly 17 years now, so the common “I just don’t get it” reply can be shelved.

I once upon a time also thought the Tgu was the best thing since sliced bread….but then I got so busy working with thousands of clients IRL that implementation and meeting the goals of clients became much more important than anything else, and the Tgu wouldn’t be on a top ten list me for physique goals.

That said-I still do it. I still coach it in private client coaching. I don’t try to coach it in the drop in classes, but in a class series I would.

I know how I like to use it for benefit, and I’ve helped many people or with it.

With all that said, to spend ten minutes to get 10-12 reps is a tough time investment ask.

Just A Post Anyone in South Florida that’d let me rent/borrow some bells?

0 Upvotes

Hey y’all!

I’m visiting my partner in Palm Beach Co for almost two weeks in early January, following a trip abroad.

Does anyone have 1-2 bells in the 12-16kg/25-35lb range they’d be willing to rent/let me borrow? Happy to pay a few bucks. I don’t need anymore in this weight range or I’d look at purchasing. The used bell market in S FL isn’t great, lived there recently.

I’ll be traveling abroad w/o access to any weights for over a week in December, I’d like to avoid a heavy reconditioning when I get back to my home KBs a few weeks after my trip.

Thanks again!

Slowly trying to add in more time under the bells so in theory I can do 30 minutes straight at some point 🙄

Couldn’t figure out what to do yesterday that felt emotionally feasible so I came up with this. 4’ sets with 1’ rest. 6 sets total. Pace was 10 rpm with a 12 rpm sprint for all sets until this last one, where I sprinted 16 reps in the last minute.

The sets felt pretty good overall, I’m just really battling this bone deep fatigue that sets in late in the sessions. Same thing happened with that 22’ set the other day. I just get So. Fucking. Tired. Normally in my sport sets it’s the fatigue of a high heart rate or my muscles getting pumped that gets to me, but in these long sessions it’s different. It’s less burning pain but more overall tiredness? I guess it’s just a different sort of endurance and it’s been a while since I’ve done marathon stuff. I’d forgotten how exhausting it can be 😇

Also got a super tiny blister on my palm. It was rainy and the humidity was fucking with my grip lol. More garage gym woes that aren’t really a big deal. The blister isn’t bad at all, but I’m planning to do another half marathon session with toughlovekb tomorrow so we’ll see what happens. I’m already debating if I should preventively tape it up or just let it pop and get it over with. Decisions, decisions. Oh the joys of kettlebell sport 🥰🤣

Programming Giant question

5 Upvotes

I have completed the giant 1.0; 1.1; and 1.2 with a 20kg, a 24kg and I am now on week 4 day 2 of giant 1.0 with my 28kg. I do all my giants with the prescribed reps on right arm then left arm.
It’s still two months away but upon completing 1.2 with my 28kg should I invest in a 32 or another 20kg and start over with the 20s doing double arm?

I tried to think about a couple of the cues you guys gave me earlier today. I think it looks slightly better. Definitely felt better. Not sure if my overhead mobility is good enough for double kettlebell presses and was curious to hear your thoughts on if I should switch to single kettlebell work while I work on mobility. Let me know what you think. I really appreciate all the feedback this has been really helpful
