After taking up too much time chatting it up with a few of the regulars about the day’s Super Tuesday primary voting, I got down to the business of training and working up a good sweat. I did that and got the heart rate up, but it wasn’t totally exhausting and that was good.

I wanted to get some reps of light bench pressing in since I hardly ever do it and mix in some 24 kg kettlebell swings. 

The benches were 5 reps at 135/155/155/155. In between and after, I did 5 sets of 20 kettlebell swings; both one and two-handed. That wasn’t too tough, but I was warmed up and ready for more.

Add in 5 sets of kettlebell snatches with the 24 kg at 10/20/20/10/10. Form started breaking down and the bell was slipping so that ended that.

For my finisher, I went to the slosh pipe and did 3 x 100 yards with a Zercher carry and another one overhead. That cinched it for me and ended a good and gradual increase of heart-pounding work.
