BigTim’s slim down

[Bigtim27]

I started with kettlebells back in April weighing 355 lbs. I’ve been putting in lots of hard work and I’m currently sitting at 310 lbs. I figured I’d start a new log to keep track of my training.

Today’s training was fun. I love it anytime the armor complex is a part of the day. After my training I was playing around and used my 16 and 24kg bells to do a 40kg press on both sides! I was pretty pumped.Finished this session with a 2 mile walk with my little guy.

 

[Bigtim27]

New PR today!! Got 44kg press with each side. My left side I needed a little leg drive.

 

[Bigtim27]

That was a tough one!! TGU with 8 snatches then the same with 5,3,2 snatches. Squats 8,5,3,2 x 3 and the same scheme for push ups!! I’m beat and so is my snatch form, It’s ugly!!!!
If anyone has any tips on snatches I’m all ears!

You've got a strong base to build on. Those pushups at your size looked STRONG. Looking forward to your log.

Welcome, Tim! That's some nice video editing.

Thank you. I’m having a great time so far and I’m really loving this type of training.

Thanks! I use an app called picstitch.

Today was a really fun session!

 

[Bigtim27]

Today I just did some swings and get ups. New PR for me for get ups! It’s really awkward with small hands and two bells!

 

[Bigtim27]

Today was a hot, humid one. The third block (power swings/goblets) was a killer and had my heart pumping!

Wow, I just noticed you're doing TGU's with double bells in one hand! I have big hands and wouldn't attempt that. And 44kg presses with TWO Kettlebells in small hands, holy cow Tim, you're making us look bad!

 

[Bigtim27]

Wow, I just noticed you're doing TGU's with double bells in one hand! I have big hands and wouldn't attempt that.

I wanted to see if I could do 32kg TGU and since I don’t own a 32kg bell yet I had to improvise and use my 2 16’s. I’ll be ordering a 32kg bell in the next week or two.

If it weren’t for the humidity this would have been a good time! Can it be fall already?

Great work and welcome to the forum!

Great work and welcome to the forum!

Thank you! Nice to be here. I put off posting here for a long time because I was sort of intimidated.

Today is a rest/recovery day. Did some gtg work with the 16kg and lots of walking. Got in over 5 miles already and I still have to go to work tonight. Took my little buddy out in his Mini Cooper for my walk today.

 

[Bigtim27]

Wow!!! This was fun but really challenging. The finisher was rough and I failed on my 5th round. The push ups were just too much for me. On another note I was able to set a new rep PR for the 44kg press with 5 (not part of the plan but sometimes I just like to press)

It was beautiful out this morning. Temperatures in the low 70’s with low humidity. I love the cooler weather. I’m doing a program from Pat Flynn and I’m loving it. Here’s today’s training:

 

[Bigtim27]

Another day in the books. Top half was my training for Q15 and the bottom was after when I had to play with the new 32kg bell! Good times!

 

[Bigtim27]

The Accumulator!! Today I upped the weights on all my exercises and still got more sets than last week!
I wanted to incorporate my new 32kg bell so I did some asymmetric presses with it and the 28.
