I got back to training outside and found it easier to work harder. The 32 kg bell felt heavy when I did two-handed swings with it on Monday, so I decided to downshift to one-handed swings with the 24 kg bell on Tuesday and Thursday. Logically, one-handed swings with the 24 should feel harder, but it didn’t. I may or may not take it easy with the 24 kg bell during swings this coming week.

My current S&S program (5 days per week)

Prying goblet squats
16 kg kettlebell – 3 x 5 = 15 reps, 525 pounds

Goblet squat curls
16 kg kettlebell –3 x 5 = 15 reps, 525 pounds

Halos: 16 kg kettlebell – 3 x 10 = 30 reps, 1050 pounds

Two-handed swings M-W-F
32 kg kettlebell – 10 x 10 = 100 reps, 7000 pounds

One-handed swings T-Th
24 kg kettlebell – 10 x 5 L/R = 100 reps, 5300 pounds

Get-ups
16 kg kettlebell – 5 x 1 L/R = 10 reps, 350 pounds

Total weight: 9450 pounds or 7750 pounds
Weekly total: 43,850 pounds

I am beginning to miss pull-ups, presses, and even renegade rows. I may begin to vary my program from the basic Simple and Sinister format on Tuesdays and Thursdays after another week or two.
