1. Russian Swings: 9 sets of 10 reps @ 16kg

 

Notes:

• I was planning to try for 10 sets of swings, but I got nauseous half way through the ninth set.  So, I just gingerly finished up that set and called it a day.
• Seems like my core is feeling more solid already!
• I am amazed at the variety of muscles that are sore. I have no idea how the swings exercises them, but they certainly do.
• Nutrition was totally screwed up…

Not ideal, I suppose... but it will do for now.  There are a couple 16kg and a couple 20kg anyway

 

Worked on two-handed swings, dead cleans, swing cleans, and stretching.

Felt great during and after the workout. Lower back is a little sore now, but manageable.

Loving kettlebells!
