My journey to lean, strong, athletic and fit through the miracle of progressive Kettlebell Swing Combination training. My food strategies to deal with weight loss, and compulsive overeating, after losing more than 100lbs., and maintaining such a tremendous weightloss for more than 4 years....

Double cleans, double squats (double workout, Wed. & Thurs.)
Thursday 11:45 KB
Warm up
5 sets, 1 min. on, 1 min. rest, swing combos w/12kg = 10 min. ( 2 hand & 1 hand)
Work sets
#1
10 double clean, press, 10 dbl cl squat, 1.5 min on 1 min. rest
#2
5 dbl cl press, 5 dbl cl squat, 45 sec. on 45 sec rest
I alternated these 2 sets 4 x. both sets took 4 min. to complete x 4 = 16 min.
I'm desprately fighting a summer cold and set #1 was just too much, so I dropped it down to set #2 (video shows my workout at this point). I was strong enough to do the 10 dbl. clean, presses, and I was strong enough to squat, it was holding the bells in the clean position during the squats that got me!
4 sets of #2 = 6 min.
#3
8 bottoms up clean, clean press L, 8 bu cl, cl pr R w/one 12kg, 2 min. on 1 min. rest x 4 sets = 12 min.
#4
5 sets of misc. swings w/ one 12kg (same as warm up) 1 min. on 1 min. rest = 10 min.
Total workout 52 min.

A co-worker brought in free plums from their tree. My 2 weakness, free food and fresh home grown food, lol. I had to eat them!
Life is good.
Home grown...I know what you mean. My in-laws have tomato plants and I am up to my ears in them. My sons like to pop the cherry ones in thier mouth right off the plants!
