...I really like how I FEEL using frequent kettlebell training. My background for over a decade was strictly barbell training using Jim Wendler's 5/3/1 and strongman work. We are in the middle of a move and for the past 8 weeks I've only had access to my kettle bells (24 and 40kg). I have been running Quick and the Dead 3-4 times a week, one clean and press ladder session, and one sandbag (250lbs) session a week.
Honestly, my joints feel better than they have in a long time. I have more energy but the biggest change is how fast I can move around now. I feel...springy and more athletic. I really have no interest in going back to barbells now. It may be good to note I've been active duty for 15 years so all the irregular sleep and static standing for watches/post has been hell on my body.
Any other middle aged prior power lifters have this experience? Feeling more athletic, joints feeling better, etc...
