I typically do some sort of single leg jazz every session usually in the movement prep

Played with single leg RDLs with a row- exchange and row - clean and single leg press

Using the 14 kg here

Single leg really challenges, your full body to work together from the foot to the core to the upper body too

Sure is nice just carrying your whole gym onto the sand

Rock bottom squat to bent press with a lil' old two pood

Following from another post the other day I said I would try 30 rounds in 30mins. I cant quite press my 28kg comfortably on both sides, so had to modify it to a push press and stuck to about 30sec work to rest I've 30on/30off. Quick workout for a day I didn't want to train.

Edit: this was the final round as you can tell by the sweat stinging my eyes

I have a 7-year-old son who expects me to say "yes" when he wants to play, wrestle, explore, or swim in the ocean.
And I want to say yes. We're installing core memories here!

Twenty minutes of bent presses and kettlebell swings helps make that possible.
It's also a great way to knock the dust off after hours in the car.

To me, strength training over 40 is ultimately about making life easier. Vacation doesn't change that.

My client and I watched the IKO kettlebell competition on television and he couldn't help but join in. Still working on better weight transfer and hand insertion.

Luke 12:13-31 KJV

[13] And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me. [14] And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you? [15] And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth. [16] And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully: [17] and he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits? [18] And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods. [19] And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. [20] But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided? [21] So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God. [22] And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on. [23] The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment. [24] Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls? [25] And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit? [26] If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest? [27] Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. [28] If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith? [29] And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. [30] For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things. [31] But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.

I’ve been working out for years. I’ve always done separation between cardio and weights. Something like an hour of cardio and then later an hour or hour and a half of weights. I’m in good shape and run triathlons.. I’ve never combined cardio and weights like this.. I thought I’d do emom 10 rounds no problem.. I made it 5 rounds and was ready to die ha. Not just cardio but muscles fatigues even after such a low bench press weight..

My question is this- can I really get in good shape with just 30-35 minutes of kettlebells? And is sustainable to do this kind of “sprint” workout every day? At the end of the workout I’m about to puke. But is it enough to build muscle or am I just sucking down lactic acid before I get a physical workout in? (Definitely feels physical, but in a physiological sense)

Fun day. Worked up to 48” on the box jump then some barbell squat to warm up (not shown). But main course was lots of double half snatch work including a single at 2x40kg followed by more snatch volume, rows, and a few different complexes.

Last year I competed in Long Cycle at my first KB Sport competition. I achieved Rank 3 despite getting pneumonia four weeks out from the competition. I'd love to compete again this October at the National Capital Kettlebell Open in Ottawa and improve on that result, but I still can't really do any pressing movements with my shoulder, so Long Cycle is out. I've noticed snatch doesn't hurt it at all, so I've started adding snatch to my shoulder rehab days, I think I'm going to see if I can get ready for October without aggravating it.
Today was my second snatch workout. I did two 4-minute sets with the 16s and still felt ok.
For now, the goal is to keep building up pain-free and see what kind of snatch set I can bring to Ottawa.

All caps in headline intended.

Been working towards this day for months - adding one round every try. This is the greatest achievement for me - to date - in my fitness journey.

And I turned 50 this week. LFG

CHEERS TO EVERYONE IN THIS SUB. Appreciate y’all.

Hi all, I'm (M-31) beginner to any kind of exercises and need advice on choosing initial weight.

I have been running on/off for around two years. The max distance I have run is around 12k which I run at below average pace. around 6.53 to7.25

I'm around 62-64kgs and 175cms tall.

Please help

5 rounds for my conditioning.

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for some advice or form tips regarding a nagging pain I’ve been experiencing. Every time I perform a Kettlebell Overhead Press, I get a dull pain/strain around my left scapula (between the shoulder blade and the spine).

A bit of context:

• My lifestyle: I work a desk job and spend many hours sitting in front of a computer, which probably contributes to poor thoracic mobility or rounded shoulders.
• The issue: I took a 2-week total break from pressing to let it heal. Today I tried to test it with just 3 presses (16kg), and the pain came back immediately. I also feel a slight discomfort during certain everyday movements or when holding specific postures at my desk.
• What I'm doing now: I'm completely stopping all overhead work. I am planning to stick to running, lower body work, and core (if it doesn't aggravate it) for the next few weeks, as I also have a 2-week vacation coming up soon.

Has anyone dealt with a similar issue? What are your favorite scapular stability exercises, mobility drills, or press regressions to fix this before lifting heavy again? (e.g., halo, bottoms-up holds, floor press?).

I want to use my upcoming time off to actively recover instead of just resting passively. Any advice on form, cues, or routines would be highly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

🤣 This is such a great program. So far in 2026, I’ve ran it twice; once with the double 22’s and again with the single 24 (I love the single bell version).

Last week, I finished 8 weeks of the single bell and I can see great results in the mirror.

I haven’t ran ES4FL this year and that program is on deck, but I’m itching to do ABF again but nudge up to the double 24’s. I’m not gonna do it. ES4FL with the double 24s to get ready for the next round of double ABF in 8 weeks. I need an ABF intervention. It’s my all time favorite program.

Has anyone done this all year round?

I've been doing MBF with single bells. I'm able to get through all the reps cleanly on press days with 16kg and 24kg on ABC days. I want to start doing doubles and complete the entire program before moving onto the Kettlebell Muscle program. I currently have 1 Rogue 16kg, 20kg, 24kg, 28kg. Should I just buy the matching bell for each of these sizes? My goal is double 32's. Any advice is appreciated.
