Workout:

  • Kept with swings today because my forearms are tender.
  • 20 minutes of swings, alternating between 16kg and 20kg.

  • Had to take an extra minute three times and an extra two minutes once at the end.
  • All and all, I felt like my form wasn't as good as yesterday. But I feel it more today.
  • Noticed that I was tending to keep my elbows…

Not going to do that again...

So... for doing a bunch of kettlebell, and then eating junk... my body is quite righteously kicking my butt...

 

I'm ready to eat clean now.  :)
