3/29 Kettlebell Training

Workout #4
2 X 12L/12R OAJ @ 20kg
Tweaked my left shoulder when I lost control of the kettlebell. I was distracted by a small child so that probably played a part. It was on the last part of the second set on the left side. I had considered lifting tomorrow, but I think that I will give it a rest and see how it feels in a day or more.

8 Min OALC @ 16kg (11rpm)
Left: 11/11/11/11 Right: 11/11/11/11
Definitely more control on the right side, but feels good to make the numbers.

8 Min OALC @ 12kg (12-13rpm)
Switched at 3 minutes on the left side. Was really feeling the shoulder by that point. All seven minutes were either 12 or 13 rpm.

3/27 Kettlebell Training

Workout #3
1 X 12L/12R OAJ @ 20kg
8 Min OALC @ 16kg (11rpm)
Left: 11/11/10/10 Right: 11/11/11/10
Used a "new" kettlebell that weighed 16kg on this set, and an "old" kettlebell that weighed 15.4kg on the next set. Huge difference in how the kettlebells felt between the two sets. The difference in weight is 1.32 lbs.

6 Min OALC @ 16kg (11rpm)
Left: 11/12/10 Right: 13/11/9
I could have put in a couple more reps or so, but I didn't because I knew I had already hit the 33 mark (11 reps x 3 min). Some of it was because I was already warmed up, but some of it was the 0.6kg lighter "16kg" kettlebell.

3/25 Kettlebell Training

Workout #2
6 Min Snatch @ 12kg (15rpm)
rest 2 min
6 Min OAJ @ 12kg (14rpm)
rest 2 Min
6 Min OALC @ 12kg (10rpm)
Go through this 2 times if you have time and reduce the pace or duration.

Went through two times but I subbed 6 Min OALC @ 12kg (10rpm) for the snatches on the second time through. Snatches felt awkward. Overall, good workout.

3/22 Kettlebell Training

Workout #1
4 Min OAJ @ 20kg (7rpm)
Left: 14 reps Right: 14 reps. It was early morning so I felt sluggish, but this set wasn't too bad from a rpm perspective. Even on sets that are just reps, I usually go about 8 rpm.

2 X 6 Min OALC @ 16kg (12rpm)
First set: Left: 34 reps Right: 34 reps
Slowed down slightly on the left about the third minute because I didn't like how the reps were looking. I didn't want to chance bad reps on my elbow.

Second set: Left: about 26 reps Right: 33 reps
Tore my palm on the left side so switched about the 2:20 mark. The skin is dry underneath, but it looks like a small blister it still there next to the torn area.

3/20 Kettlebell Training

Workout #4
1 X 15L/15R OAJ @ 20kg
6 Min OALC @ 16kg (12rpm)
I ended up doing 35 reps on the left hand and either 34 or 35 reps on the left hand.

6 min OAJ @ 16kg (12rpm)
Good set. Felt a little unbalanced in the rack position. I think it maybe because I don’t have to worry so much about a good rack position with long cycle so I am out of practice.

6 min OALC @ 12kg (13rpm)
This set ended up with 38 reps on both hands.

It has been hard to fit training into my schedule with my new job. It's a great job, but the hours are long currently. This is only my fourth kettlebell workout in two weeks.

3/16 Kettlebell Training

Workout #3
2 X 14L/14R OAJ @ 20kg
8 Min OALC @ 16kg (11rpm)
Left: 11/11/11/11 and Right: 10/11/11/10

8 Min OALC @ 12kg (13rpm)
13 rpm

3/12 Kettlebell Training

Workout #2
3 X 6 Min OALC @ 16kg (10rpm) - rest 6 - 10 min between sets

Made 10rpm on all three sets. The last set was quite difficult. My legs are feeling heavy. My elbow has been acting up for the last couple of days as well. I think that I am going to take tomorrow off and see if I can fit a workout in on Sunday.

3/9 Kettlebell Training

Workout #1
1 X 15L/15R OAJ @ 20kg
Spread this set out over about 3:50.

8 Min OALC @ 16kg (11rpm)
Left: 11/11/11/10 Right: 11/11/10/10
Was not so much out of breath as I ran out of time per minute. I need to move faster.

6 Min OALC @ 16kg (10rpm)
Left: 10/10/10 Right: 10/10/10
Good set.

3/8 Kettlebell Training

Workout #5
2 X 12L/12R OAJ @ 20kg

10 Min OALC @ 16kg (10rpm)
Left: 10/10/10/10 Right: 10/10/10/10
Made 10 rpm, but not sure if I would have made 11 rpm.

6 Min OALC @ 12kg (13rpm)
Left: 12/13/12 Right: 13/13/12

3/4 Kettlebell Training

Workout #3
4 Min OAJ @ 20kg (7-8rpm)
8 Min OALC @ 16kg (11rpm)
8 Min OALC @ 12kg (13rpm)

This workout went ok. I made all the reps in all the sets if I remember correctly.

3/3 Kettlebell Training

Workout #2
2 X 6 Min OALC @ 16kg (12rpm 1st set, 10 rpm second set)
First set: 12L / 12L / 11L / 1L + 12R / 12R / 12R
Second set: 10L / 10L / 10L / 10R / 10R / 10R
The second set felt slow compared to the first set. I took about a 13 minute break in between sets. Should I adjust the amount of time between sets longer or shorter?

1 X 8 Min OALC @ 12kg (13rpm)
Fast set. I was on a 13 rpm pace all the way up to the last minute. Somehow, I lost count on that minute. It was somewhere between 10 to 13 reps.

3/1 Kettlebell Training

Workout #1
1 X 14L/14R OAJ @ 20kg
Did this set in 3:30 @ 8rpm. Warmup.

10 Min OALC @ 16kg (10rpm)
Left: 10/10/10/10/10 Right: 10/10/10/10/10
Good set. Not as easy as it has been, but doable.

6 Min OALC @ 16kg (10rpm)
Good set.
