I’m an all or nothing type of guy.
Who’s gonna carry the boats???
I was running a few days with my younger lad this week as he has a PE cba in school next week and wanted to get fit for the bleep test.
We did 5x200m run at 70 per cent with a 200m recovery walk 4 times over the week. Few planks then as he has to
do them too.
I was in the gym this evening where I did chin ups, hack squats, db bench press, single leg rdls, biceps and triceps. I did an upper and a lower earlier in the week. I never really kill myself in gym - 80 per cent effort but I go regularly.
I’ve sprint training in the morning and I’ve the theragun and foam roller laid out here as bottom of my calf is worrying me. I fear I’ve bitten off more than I can chew.
Kettle bells are good but you’ll
Fuck your lower back if you are doing swings when fatigued.

David Goggins is in with the Limerick hurlers the last 2 weeks. Himself and Kinnerk had a very bad row after Goggins told him the team were overplaying around the middle.

The hinge movements when using heavier kettle bells has been problematic for me…. Possibly not engaging the core enough but easier to avoid it altogether and stick to other routines.
All in form and grip… still getting used to the proper form for thrusting. Small bit of forearm tightness which means i need to strengthen grip or improve my form. I got through 300 reps this morning

Are you doing any cardio? Or just relying on kettles for it?
I have really hit a wall with my bench - can get close to 10 reps with two 37.5kg dumb bells for the past few months.
Up to a 20kg weight for pull ups though.

I was planning on doing cardio , mainly HIIT , but I’m giving kettlebells a go for it instead… done right ( you don’t need to go ultra heavy) it increases cardio, strength and mobility… but not necessarily the power you’d get from traditional weights exercises.
I was doing 10 minutes HIIT on the air bike after weights… I’m gonna try 2 kettlebells sessions and 1 session of squsts, pull ups, bench. And that should be enough to hit everything.

Strengthen the core before progressing onto those hinge movements.
