KB training

Kettlebell training today. I tried to move to the 24kg bells for some of the movements. Instead of doing 2-arm clean and presses with 16's, I just did one arm with a 24kg, but could only do two rounds and had to go back to the double 16's for the last one.

I also tried the single 24 for the one arm front squat, but only managed that for 2 rounds as well. It was really hard to hold onto that bell out in front of you. I think I might be holding my elbow a little too high, and I think I need to tuck it in so it sits closer to my body.

Using the 24 really upped the intensity and I was puffing hard from the get go. The biggest problem with KB's is the big jumps between levels. It'd be nice if they had a 20kg one readily available (I have seen them, but they're not that common).

These KB workouts are really seeming to get my whole body more in "sync". It forces you to use your whole body on movements like the Turkish Get Up and I really feel it working all the muscles of my body. I may even look to keep them in my program throughout the year, depending on how the other training goes.
