Hello all,
I am currently 31 yrs old and working to get back into shape. 6'1" and 240lbs. Played soccer and rugby in college, shuffled through a few marathons, and up until a year ago was training consistently (kettlebells, barbell, running/cycling). I teach college A&P online and work on my feet in a distribution center (D.C.) 10-12hrs a day. I began at the D.C. 16 months ago and thought that walking 5-7 miles a day and lifting throughout would be enough and nearly all exercise stopped, but the weight climbed and pants got tighter. About 2 months ago I began lifting kettlebells again on a consistent schedule and have felt great.
Just want to keep a personal log here to stay motivated and not just be a lurker on the forums. I have never done a StrongFirst course (but would like to), and nearly all of my KB lifting is G.S. style (hope you guys wont give me the boot for that). In the past I was certified in IKFF Level One, USAKL, and CrossFit Level 1, but believe all have lapsed.
My programming is whatever I am feeling when I get home from work and completed my grading for the day. That will probably drive you guys and gals nuts, but I am enjoying myself and look forward to the practice and movements. Here is today's session.
12/22/2016
Warm-Up (this is always the same unless I feel I need more, just gets me moving and focused)
12kg Around the world- 12x/direction
12kg Halos- 5x/direction
12kg Prying goblet squat- 5x
12kg Chest supported hip hinge- 5x
16kg Girevoy swing 10x/arm
16kg clean 10x/arm
16kg jerk 10x/arm
32kg 2-Handed Hardstyle swing 5x10
24kg Snatch 5x5/arm
20kg OALC 20x/arm
30-45 sec. rest between working sets. Done, time to watch the game from last night. GO BLUES!
Thanks StrongFirst community,
Jeff
