4/8/24
Today instead of a kettlebell, I felt like pressing a rock.
So I pressed a rock.
A change from bottoms up pressing.
not today’s video
Then, later, I kicked around the soccer ball barefoot.
It’s like the first day again.
(or not – the best dribble was 7ct)
And at that time got a real solid handstand with it.
I’ll mix these two, and probably kettlebell juggling as “skill acquisition – play”.
Keep it fun. Keep it really fun all around.
None of this training is so serious.
…..
I did juggle the kettlebell today, off camera where I got a new trick, hand to hand pretty consistently if not keeping the bell at the best height (high and parallel to the ground) where the handle is vertical and the bell then rotates on that axis like a helicopter (but they call it helicopter when the bell’s handle is horizontal to the ground).
Cool to get that down.
The kettlebell juggling as a skill is getting better all around.
…..
The rock press had all my upper back firing, left me feeling solid in upper back, on my sides.
I felt STRONG.
The rock balances different than a bottoms up bell, and I figure that will help with control.
A side effect is that the good handstand came, probably from how the rock press had everything firing beforehand to balance it.
Pressing kettlebells in the palm of my hand, flat/bottom of bell is an idea.
As I continue with volume my development will continue to improve.
I looked MONSTROUS tonight, my upper and mid back thickness having grown from the heavy bottoms up pressing.
The kettlebell is meant for high tension and high volume, it means gains all around – DO MORE!
Food is lots of sausage and onion.
Persistence & Tenacity
