Young man…

Moved up a Kettlebell size this week. I can really tell the difference. I’ve been reading some more on nutrition and flexibility. Generally I’ve noticed that the ballistic nature of kettlebell work has by shoulders and arms feeling much more flexible than when I was doing weights alone. That’s good because a great way to get injured is to lose flexibility.

I think I need to start doing more pistols in my off days since they are pretty slow and low impact, (working the legs) and because I suck at them. We shall see. I also took a focus this week on form, which I can tell is improving, since new stuff is sore. Got down to 216 pounds this week, before my two wine dinners brought me back to 218. Nuts.
