So I have a small dilemma. Monday through Friday I have an excellent gym on base that has decent kettle bells to include up to 32kgs in both cast iron and competion style. I am usually there at 0445 until about 0545 when I finish S&S or whatever else I might be working on.
On weekends that gym is closed so I have to use either the other base gym which has bells in pairs up to 20kgs and one random 22kg. I can easily get the S&S standard in five minutes with a 24 and have used the 22 on weekends for as many sets as 20 with little issue. The only base gym in the area with kettle bells is on a small USMC base. The kettle bells go up to 100lbs but are an odd assortment of brands. One brand, Power Systems, has a stupid thick amout of very smooth paint on the 50's through 80's. The 90's seem pretty good but I could only use them for two hand swings for now.
So I am not sure which to use, the 90 for 2 hand swings in the S&S style to start using and getting used to heavier weight or go to the smaller gym and do a ton of sets with the smaller bells, possibly doing snatches on the weekend with the smaller bells instead of swings.
Any input would be appreciated. As well thanks to all that have been pointing me in the right direction since I have been posting here, it is much appreciated.
