Rationale:
I want to keep progressing double kettlebell work. Plus, "Summer is Coming" , and some fat loss wouldn't hurt.
Background:
52 years old.
5' 7" , 80 Kg, (175 pounds). Roly-poly.
Desk job in IT.
Training background:
Prior to kettlebells, my main physical activity was martial arts, primarily Aikido for about 19 years. Since 2011, time constraints have steered me towards home training and kettlebells.
Kettlebell programs completed:
Rite Of Passage: Done through 32Kg . A half-weight one armed press continues to elude me.
Simple and Sinister - Completed Simple a few years ago. Can currently do 10 reps with 40 Kg for Turkish Getups with ease, swings lag behind at 32Kg.
Total Tension Complex - Twice, last time done with 2x24
Kettlebell Muscle - twice, with 2x16 and 2x20. The second time, I coughed up a lung twice, which seems physically improbable.
Kettlebell Burn 2.0 (2010) -- This was my most recent program. It delivered pretty well, as I lost 3-4.5 Kg (7-10 pounds) over a timeframe including Christmas, New Year, and a recent short vacation to lovely Austin, Texas and all the food - and drink!- I could manage.
Dry Fighting Weight . An interesting and productive program that made me stronger and more confident with heavier double kettlebells. My log is here, or in my signature block
Dry Fighting Weight : Happy Birthday! Now Get To Work.
Training Program:
Double Kettlebell Manisfesto, 701A, by Hector Gutierrez, Jr. (@Hector G ) Strictly by the book.
For off days, I will stretch, walk, and do fast and loose. Possibly some S&S style swings, as I really like those. We have had a soggy cold srping in the Philadelphia area,but I may yet try the "Zombies, Run!" app in a lighthearted way, because it looks fun and will get me outside.
Goals:
Fat loss
Overall strength
Hypertrophy is always welcome
The journey begins now.
