I'm new here and have just got back into kettlebells after a few years break from them. I've trained with kettlebells on and off for 20 years. I first bought an Eleiko 16kg when I was about 16 and I still have it.
I love kettlebells but Im not a Kettlebell purist and I train with barbells, weighted bodyweight moves and various machines sometimes but I recently had the itch the get back into kettlebell moves. In 2020 when COVID hit I used kettlebells exclusively but haven't really touched them much until a few weeks ago.
Im 36 years old, 5ft 8.5in tall and weigh between 158-175lbs normally but at the minute I'm about 173lbs on the heavier side and plan to cut a few lbs to be leaner.
I thought I'd start a log to document my main goal of strict Pressing the 40kg Kettlebell I just bought 2 days ago. It actually weighs in at 40.7kg so on the heavy side as well. It would be over half Bodyweight for me and a good achievement I think..I've neglected overhead work a lot over the years in the past but this year I've really focused on it.
