That’s why I bought the kettlebell!
It’s about 2130, I stepped outside, grabbed the 32kg kettlebell, did a set of one arm cleans each side, and a set of side bends each side – fin, done, did it, done did it 🙂
The kettlebell is clutch for minisessions, whether traveling, late night, frequent, or being lazy about setup/breakdown.
(the thing is set weight – just use it for whatever movement(s) and for whatever length of time)
A kettlebell of decent weight is a one stop shop.
And I haven’t yet went hard with the ones I own!
(32kg I purchased recently, 20kg and 16kg gifts from a coworker recently, 20lb a gift from my mom when I was 14yo)
…but, feeling how effective one bell work is, and I’m partial to the one arm clean – I could over time invest in heavier and heavier bells with the one arm clean as my “being diesel one stop training shop”.
I’ve been seriously impressed by how well the kettlebell works the midsection.
To the point I should be on a high volume, hour a day, “odyssey” ala 2019’s “dip odyssey”.
The one arm clean is a bicep builder in disguise, while dropping the bell down is a trap stretch – the thing is full body without you really thinking of it as such.
The implement itself leads to training density, combined with it’s natural tension demands is a great combination for wind.
Muscular stimulus and wind…
See that point again about a training odyssey.
🙂
You’re training wind with an odd cannonball shaped weight!
This is a very good thing.
…..
Every session today, the first clean and press every rep ground to overhead with a barbell, this one one arm cleans with a kettlebell – the lesson is training density, more volume.
I’m badly in need of being in shape.
I like being big and strong.
Lifting density will get me on the path to, and give me much needed wind.
Odyssey, hint hint.
…..
We always have all the tools.
It’s that we must use them rightly.
