5x5 KB weights 12/20/08

Going for a 5x5 workout using four different exercises:

First superset/combo:

  • Double kettlebell military press (and push press) @ 53 lb. kettlebell - 5x6
  • Double kettlebell row (same weight) - 5x6

And then:

  • Double kettlebell front squat @ 53 lb. kettlebell - 5x6
  • Double kettlebell swing @ 53 lb. kettlebell - 5x5

Over the past 24 hours, I tried a carb refeed sticking mostly to cereals/breads (not really eating sugary stuff at all, including fruit) plus a bag o’ popcorn. As opposed to prior “cheat days,” this time around I avoided alcohol, which I think made for an improved refeed/cheat experience as I was able to add carbs to my diet without overfeeding on junk and drinking a bunch of empty calories (alcohol). We’ll see how it works out.

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.
