1/14/19


Today is the day, I start getting serious about my diet for 2019, I swear!.  
Back to Kettlebell Muscle. 

Week 5 Kettlebell Muscle Medium Day

45 lb. Bells 
6 Rounds
Rest 90 seconds between rounds

Double High Pull x 5
Double Snatch x 5
Military Press x 5
Front Squat x 5

Completed, sets 5 and 6 were hard. I did all the reps with good form, on 5th rep of set 6, took 2 deep breaths in the rack before I pressed. It is getting difficult. I've done some More Kettlebell Muscle complexes where I found medium day harder than heavy because of the shoulder fatigue.  I have a feeling doing the extra set, 6 vs. 5 and doing high pulls and snatches first causes this. 

Could I have gotten a 7th set today?  Great question, I'm glad I didn't have to find out.
