My First Kettlebell

August 28, 2007 By Graham English

Guns

No patience for the long drives to the overcrowded and expensive gym? This simple kettlebell will make you dangerously strong and ripped FAST!
…for only $51 on Craig’s List!

I picked up a 16kg/35lb kettlebell off Craig’s List tonight. Actually it was more of a heave than a pick. All in preparation for the 300 workout that I start tomorrow. I can tell that it will be tough! Not like “It’s too hard, I can’t do it” tough. It’s more like saying-no-to-a-free-lap-dance tough.

a) Pullups – 25 reps
b) Deadlifts with 135lbs – 50 reps
c) Pushups – 50 reps
d) 24-inch Box jumps – 50 reps
e) Floor wipers – 50 reps
f) Single-arm Clean-and-Press with 36lbs Kettlebell – 50 reps
g) Pullups – 25 reps

See what I’m sayin?!

I don’t expect to make the full 300 tomorrow. But I’ll get there fast. Count it. 1…2…3…

    So how did it go Graham? I can see that it’s not unsurmountable, but you do need to be fit. Or, if you can finish this is in a good tempo, then this exercise would quite proof that you are indeed fit.

    I wouldn’t be able to do it right now. I’m coming out of a spell of being unfit (bad food, no exercise kind-of-thing). I’m working on it though, and I feel I’m making progress fast. I will let you know when I will decide to have a go at the 300.

    Keep it up!

    I hit 300 a couple times but I’ve moved on. I usually stick to a workout for about 3 months. I’ll definitely go back to it in the future. I’ve been checking out some of Craig Ballantyne’s other workouts: Turbulence Training. Really great stuff.
