It’s the right path!
I feel it, intuitively, instinctively.
My workouts are kettlebell snatch, burpees, and with the two I’m on a kick of running 100+ deep knee bends every day – trying to, but not always having these as part of an outdoor lift… otherwise they’re checked off late night in the kitchen lol
Three daily requirements in addition to the nightly pushups.
I’ve been enjoying my sessions, getting pumps and out of breath in brief periods, most always under half an hour.
Strength. Conditioning.
There’s definitely an “and” in between the two above – I’m getting both at the same time. Gladness in doing so :)-
…..
Today I did the see saw press.
It’s a rather challenging movement.
I once read an anecdote, saying a winner of one of the major bodybuilding competitions in the 1950s did no other upper body work.
I believe it.
Try the movement out.
If you’re like me, only able to moderately load it with what you’ve got (I have a mismatch pair of 75lb dumbbell and 32kg kettlebell that I use) then you push the reps up into the stratosphere.
If you have heavier bells, well by all means OBVIOUSLY weight it up, load it heavy!
Build your obliques and shoulders with the movement.
Upper body all in one. It’s a worthwhile movement. Mostly lost to time. Be the exception. Bring the movement back…to the future!
…..
Looking back, the see saw press has an absolutely freakish effect on upper body strength, while too is a crazy metabolic booster…
Especially factoring in the mismatch pair that I press with.
…..
I notice the bells go up for more reps…a tad easier.
I notice the burpee reps feel a little more smooth/crisp/fluid, and a tad easier (going to 10 now instead of 7 – creeping up).
Until next time,
