Jim vs. Double Kettlebell Floor Press & A Finisher

Starting early, because it’s gonna be a long week.

Double KB floor press

Wrapped up with:

6, 5, 4… 1 of:
Spider-man climbs (both sides)
Jump squats
X-body mountain climbers (both sides)

Finished that in 2:22.

This one felt good the second time around, too.

Changed things up in two ways on this one. First, using two kettlebells; second, using my 50lb sandbag as a makeshift bench, supporting my head, neck, and upper back, while I kept my core tight to keep a good curve in my lower back. Seemed to work!

So I guess one upside to this is that I can finally rest 20 minutes between sets and pretend I’m some kind of Russian weightlifting badass. Damn shame I don’t have barbells here, though.

The seven-rep thing was accidental, as I largely worked to failure. I feel like maybe I could’ve done more the last set, but on the other hand my shoulder feels pretty tender right now.

Home for a strength workout.

35+53 x 5

Finished up with five minutes on the treadmill.

Decided to do a bilateral version of this.

Double KB floor press
35+53 x 5
53+35 x 5
35+53 x 5
53+35 x 5
35+53 x 5

That was different. Definitely capped out at five reps with the 53lb bell, which surprised me a bit.
