I’m thinking aloud ;
You see that gut hanging out on video?
Doesn’t matter.
80/20 rule or whatever, I’m taller than 90% of humanity, stronger than 90% of humanity.
And pretty regularly complimented on how I stand.
I have real good standing posture.
Also, I hear lots of apologies in public, almost annoying really – to the point I’ve used “if hearing sorry was a drinking game” as one of my standard jokes.
Something minor like the fat man’s gut on me doesn’t matter.
I prefer being bearded, bearded with a buzz cut, and I’ve for years had this compulsion to shave clean if/whenever I watched porn.
Never strongly defined if this compulsion was there for watching television, which I’ve been watching normal american hours of the past few days.
(ie ~4 hours/day)
Doesn’t matter. I shrug.
I’m underachieving that’s for sure.
Not working out nearly enough.
I’ve got plenty to workout at home with, and I’ve been barely doing the thing.
However, I had a creative idea ;
Drop all of the normal stuff!
Ie that’s ; not lifting the barbell for a time, not caring about pushups (lol still gonna do them).
A coworker gifting me a 16kg and 20kg kettlebell last week…
Well the 20kg feels better to me than the 32kg for most stuff.
I could for a time not lift…barbells.
I could use that 20kg kettlebell to get in shape.
Some of the stuff I can do with it is downright fun.
•bottoms up snatch
•one arm swings (feels good this light – the 32kg was a tad heavy for the bicep tendon – strength over time via tendon that’s a road to discuss sometime)
•kettlebell flips (and progressive kettlebell juggling)
I feel like I could get some hands and forearms out of the deal.
The Bud Jeffries swing odyssey is precedence for it being serious body recomp.
Working out can be the in the moment purpose you give yourself.
It’s comical how little effort it truly takes, again see that 80/20, better than 90% thing said above.
I couldn’t write and not make a kettlebell juggling video today. Being bearded on video here helps keep me not on xvideos (cause then I’d have to shave)
Thinking again on kettlebell instead of barbell for a time ;
Combining a low level of body fat with kettlebell use, especially the less gym like/more rotational/real world labor like “juggling” is a way to look very good with rather simple training.
You’re getting lots of “weird” abdominal and back work with the implement.
A cool effect is that you get huffing and puffing rather quickly, that the kettlebell lend itself to both sets as long as, and volume as high as you feel like going – it’s a very good fat loss tool.
The best fat loss tools are those with a muscular component.
This keeps you strong, the muscle on you as you lose fat…fat only.
The idea I have is to put the kettlebell in hand daily, and to simply do lots of unorthodox lifting with it during a set period of time, say five minutes.
Then rack up minisessions as often as I desire on top of that.
For a time it’s kettlebell play primarily, almost exclusively.
If Bud Jeffries dropped 100lbs rather fast with swings, I can get lean and mean dropping 50lbs or so with this tool.
Funny that today’s video wasn’t the best flow, there was one with no failed bottoms up presses, just a success on the first try and a bottoms up snatch with the 20kg…but I’d accidentally turned the camera off as I set it down.
Soon I’ll be looking for video of a 20kg bottoms up turkish get up, and off camera be practicing the tgu up and down…get a barbell and really load that.
What’s the heaviest tgu online?
I bet I could get in it’s vicinity if not be the one who does it.
Maybe the kettlebell and one arm barbell stuff is my “success with physical culture path”.
Making video is giving me purpose.
Still haven’t made that “girl pushups” (weighted pushups with fit chick STANDING on my upper back) video.
lol
