Hello everyone.
I'm new to the forum and to the strenght training in general.
I'm 40 and have feen fairly sedentary for the most part of the last 15 years. About a year ago, I started training at home (mostly bodyweight exercises) and some barbell and dumbell training in the gym for the last 3 months or so).
I now moved to a rural area and the nearest gym is quite far away so I thought I'd go back to home training, buy some kettlebells and follow Simple & Sinister.
Kettlebells are quite pricey here, but I found a bargain for a 2 and set of 3 kettlebells 16, 20 and 28 kg. I know in S&S pavel recommends following the 16 > 24 > 32 kg progression, so what do you think? Maybe I could still follor S&S properly with the 16 > 20 > 28 progression instead? And then in the future consider getting a 32 kg?
For reference, I'm 186 cm tall (6'1") 88 kg bodyweight (194 lbs). My 1RM bench press is 75kg and I can do a maximum of 7 strict pull ups.
Thanks a lot for your help.
