Sunday LBKC Kettlebell Workout

My upper back was a bit tight this morning, probably due to the toes to bar thing that I did yesterday.

I am so glad that today's workout was more on upper body focus. Perfection!

3 Rounds:
  • 5x Windmill R/L
  • 10x One Arm KB Swing R/L
  • 10x One Arm Press R/L
  • 10x One Arm Cleans R/L
  • 10x Racked Backward Lunge Pulse R/L
  • 10x One Arm Bent Over Rows R/L
  • 1x Turkish Get Up R/L
  • 10x One Arm KB Thrusters R/L
The Challenge here is not to put the bell down until the end of the circuit. With the exception of changing weights for Windmill and Turkish Get Up, we had to keep holding on the bells moving from one exercise to another.

Ok, for windmill, I could only do with 12lbs if I had to do 5 reps on each side. I started off with 15lbs and I knew it was a bad move, especially for my left side, which is not quite flexible as my right one. Plus my weak left arm!

Turkish Get Up I used 15lbs.

For the rest, I stick with 18lbs KB.

Then we did 4 sets of Pull Ups.
I did 10 reps for first 2 sets using the green band (60 lbs off bodyweight). Felt super easy.

So the last 2 sets, I changed to the red skinny band (about 50lbs off bodyweight?) and did chin ups. Did 3-4 reps each set.

Omg, I'm so happy that my pull up is getting better! That means my upper body starts to get stronger! I almost thought the green band wasn't the right one since it felt super easy!

Then I polished off the day with another HIIT Rowing - 1 minute rest/ 30 sec max effort for 8 Rounds. Totally wiped out! Not to mention my upper back was tight!
