KETTLEBELLGUY

Up at 4A, in the gym at 5A. Long workout this morning. The combination of Turkish Get Ups and Snatches just takes me a long time. I worked on my form on the snatches, making sure I was not pulling the KB up, rather, letting it come up from the force of my hips. It’s something that I have to think about for each and every rep. I was able to complete all 5 sets without breaking between 21 snatches on each arm. This is an improvement from when I needed to take a break between each arm. I am not keeping the exact rest time of 2:30 in some cases. I just can’t keep going and need a bit longer. I just need to work toward a time when 2:20 is more than I need.

Did my core workout, right shoulder workout, shoulder flyes, KB workout, 20 minutes cardio, some stretching and then a quick S,S,S (that’s a s*it, shower and shave) and out the door. 2 1/2 hours.

I am really getting tired of the winter. By going to bed at 8P there just is not much time between the end of work, dinner and bed. I have not been going to do cardio at the gym at night. There just is not time and everything I read says sleep is very important. The only thing that seems to be working for me is going to bed at 8 and getting up at 3 or 4. For some reason I have it in my mind that I have to be at the gym at 5. Actully I only need to do that on Monday’s because that is an extra long workout. I really could get by as late as 6:30A. I think a large part of it is the change in my job responsibilities. That really has me on edge. Once spring gets here I know I will be able to shift things around to a more “normal” schedule, I hope. My mood is very jumpy by the end of the day.

The insurance company called. No luck with the person that hit my truck. Their estimate was $716.45, minus my $250 deductable means I get a check for $466.45 and the hassle of gettin it fixed. I already know where I will take it. Years ago we had work done on a car and this place did a great job. Just need to remember the name of the place. I need to check my policy. I think I have rental car coverage. That will be a plus.

Another youtuber, surplemoon, did a KB video in response to my Do Something video. That is the fifth woman to be doing kettlebells in the Gut to Cut group. I really like that.

Tomorrow’s workout calls for the Lat Pulldown Machine. I can guarantee you right now that every fool in town will be using that machine tomorrow morning. It never fails.
