5x5 Training Friday

Warm-up with five minutes of kettlebell drills with the baby kettlebell (18 lb. kettlebell - ATB uppercut/flip, swing and flips, ATB lunges, swing catch/push swing, ATB hot potato).

Then, the following 5x5 superset:

- Weighted dips with 53 lb. kettlebell
- Kettlebell rows with 53 lb. kettlebell

Next superset was:

- Military press (tending to push press) with one 53 lb. kettlebell per arm (Three sets doing both arms at once – last two sets alternating arms)
- Upright row (using only one 53 lb kettlebell)

Next superset:

- Hammer curls using 18 lb. kettlebell. Note that the handle makes these really good due to the leverage you can get. Also, assuming you aren’t resting the kettlebell on your forearm (thus trying to get leverage), you get a solid forearm workout free.
- Overhead tricep extensions with same KB (leverage a bit trickier to pull off here)

Final superset:

- Pistols (man I hate these)
- Double kettlebell dead lift

Ended with a one-minute plank.

Pretty good workout!

This sub-blog captures my daily workouts (if any). It was created in July and has been maintained fairly religiously since August 2008. Its purpose is to serve as a record of activity and a reminder to stay active. Theoretically, it will serve as a record of what "works." Questions or comments, just let know. Navigating it for specific workout ideas is best accomplished using the tag cloud.
