Enter The Kettlebell-Week 3…The Reps Add Up
Posted by ironbellathletics on April 30, 2008
Well Monday came and went. 40 rep swings were a joy!
I checked our reps for weeks 1 and 2 and found that we started with 140 swings per workout, then went to 150 for week 2 (one workout) and did 160 on Monday. These are not impossible. But if you haven’t trained extended reps, your grip will let you know it.
We moved Tuesday’s workout to today as I had a union meeting to attend to last night.
Today we had a lot of energy and really worked the Turkish Get-Ups. My son got 9-R and 8-L with a goal of 10 on each side for 5 minutes with the 16 KG.
My wife and I hit 8-R and 7-L. She was using a 9 KG and I used the 24 KG. We definitely worked it hard. However, we both agreed that today’s workout was better than Saturday morning’s workout. Even though we moved more weight today, we felt better when we were done.
Swings again tomorrow, 40 reps getting ready for 50 reps in week 4!
