kettlebell cardio.....

Had to do my cardio in the house tonight as I was in sole command of the kids so couldn't escape to the garage
So improvised and did some swings and achieved the same hr for 30 mins as I would have on the bike
Went like this -
30 x 15 2hd 16kg swings otm

Felt good but my hip not good with huge amount of swings and when I loose my concentration for a second it locks and the crucifies me!

That's all sng

new program incorporating king sized killer.......

Sunday - pressing/back
Monday - cardio
Tuesday - KSK+cardio
Wednesday - arms/cardio
Thursday - KSK+cardio
Friday - rest
Saturday - KSK+cardio

sunday and monday may swap round a bit dependent on time/family commitments

otherwise this is it for the next 8-9 weeks (KSK is 3 x 3 week phases) - then test snatch with 20kg bell - beyond that maybe a crack at king sized killer 2.0? or a purely swing based routine with a heavier bell? - we shall see!

laters sng

love it...

king sized killer phase 1 week 1 w/o 3........

So more snatches with the 20kg bell w/o 3 in phase 1 is 1-4 ladders - felt every single rep but managed to keep a good pace and biggest bonus was the slightly lower temperature meant that my hands are in good shape afterwards!
So went like this -
9 x 1-4 snatch ladders/20 mins

Followed by protein and carbs

Then 2 hrs later 30 mins cardio on the bike

All sorted sng

floor press and pull ups (of a kind) ……

Floor press
3 or 4 weeks since I did this - but there was a definite improvement and I really enjoyed it so it will definitely stay in the pressing rotation
Went like this -
18.5kg x 20 x 2
21kg x 20
23.5kg x 15 x 2
26kg x 13+12+10
This was great upper chest and front delts pumped up lovely :)
Pull ups
Done on swing bar with legs supported on chair wide grip
6 x 5 reps - as deep as poss start position and chest to bar

Felt stronger in this movement but could also be that I am lighter ;)

30 mins cardio to come Inc  the kids have gone to bed

Sng
