Results

It was nice to get back to a bells-only workout. I love the ropes, rower, etc...but I do enjoy me some bells too! And I really dig these ones that kind of build on top of the previous exercise.

I used a 20 for everything except for the clean/press/lunge combo. It was an overhead lunge, and I wasn't sure if I could handle the a 20kg bell. I think I could have. I probably should have done the swings, which were two-hand swings, with a 24. Oh well, next time.

Everything felt pretty good. I was a little worried that I might struggle with some of the later presses, but they went up relatively smooth so I'm happy with that.

I also think my squat endurance is starting to improve a little. I hope so at least. I don't think I get as winded as I used to with them. And considering I did some unbroken wall ball sets last week, I'm thinking it's not just a fluke. Time will tell...
