I comfortably juggle the 20kg kettlebell, able to flip it for reps with either hand, and from hand to hand.
The kettlebell flip is a surprisingly effective exercise.
Probably a video in the next few days.
Right hand. Lots of reps. Another short.
It’s possible I can actually flip the bell for longer than :60.
Hitting upper body in a weird way,
you get a good trap/upper back pump, while I’m confident doing it for lots of reps will very quickly diesel up your forearm/grip strength…or break you.
This is the first time in years I’ve had kettlebell access.
Now owning single bells at 20lb, 16kg, 20kg, and 32kg.
My mom bought me the 20lber when I was 14 and starting to workout.
A coworker gifted me the middle two bells a couple days ago.
I bought the 32kg bell about a month and a half back.
…..
The 32kg bell is now on the back burner.
The 20kg bell, though a tad light feels good for training weight/training effect on one arm swings, the movement being the initial reason to purchase the 32kg bell.
The 16kg bell is attached to my neck harness, where I push reps to 50+ before upping weight.
Thus far it’s in the low 40s.
…..
I picked the tree branch mace back up, mixing it with the kettlebell swings.
For a time I’ll be doing more and more kettlebell swings while also squatting (something I’ve long neglected).
I expect body recomp, and “what the hell” effect carryover in all physical modalities.
…..
Training is just building up volume and density.
In my eyes I’m out of shape, so it’s supersets, giant sets, doing more volume, and working out more/longer – make myself good again.

Today is the first warm day this year.
I’m writing outside, shirtless, hearing the birds chirp.
It’s nice.
