Jim vs. Kettlebell Push Press, Goblet Squats

More fun with my new kettlebell.

1-arm Kettlebell Push Press
(R) 53 x 3
(L) 53 x 2ish
(R) 53 x 3
(L) 53 x 3

Goblet squat
53 x 5
53 x 5
53 x 5

In the future, I think I’d split these two up, or at least do the goblet squats as a 5×5. The push presses were all about practicing getting the 53lb bell over my head; this went OK on the right hand, but the first set on the left was just ugly. “2ish” is me being generous with myself. The second left-hand set was better, but still far, far tougher than the right.

Yay, unilateral strength work.
