Pictured: kettlebells with sadness cropped out
2.) Swings - I find the following tempo helpful: "One, I hate my life! Two, I hate my life..." Try not to succumb to tedium. If you manage to complete 10,000 swings, congratulations, you are now certified! Certified to judge when to take down any "wet paint" signs.
3.) Circus Get-ups - Lay on the ground. With KB in hand straighten arm, stand up and lay back down. Switch hands and repeat. Do this over and over again until you suffer an existential crisis which should be about 5 reps per side.
4.) The Snatch - no reason other than I just wanted to say "snatch"
5.) Cleans - Those things are practically dust magnets. An old, ripped T-shirt does the job nicely.
6.) Goblet Squats - Because a barbell's too heavy for such a delicate flower.
LOL. I was thinking about getting a kettlebell, but maybe I'll pass.
ReplyDeleteThat's how it starts. Next thing you know, you're spending all your time on the internet quoting Pavel and arguing federation superiority. It's only a short jump to the hard stuff: clubbells. I've seen the same tragic tale play out time and again. It always ends up in the same place as you find yourself sleeping in the park blanketed only by the paper your certifications are printed on. You're doomed to live out your remaining days wandering the streets babbling incoherently about functional strength and correctives as you beg strangers to buy your e-book.
