Hi Tracy:
I'm new to kb...and am loving it. I've been catching up on ur blog as of late and have found lots of good info!!! So thank you!
But I have a quick question for ya...and it is probably a super crazy rookie question --- but what do you wear on your hands? That seems to be my biggest issue thus far --- my hands burn out before the rest of my body... I know I'll develop callouses overtime but I'm just curious if u have any tips in the meantime to help?
Thanks for any input u may have!
Tracy,
I haven't had the energy to do heavy kettlebell lately. I can't wait until this powerlifting meet is over, I will add them back in. Nice looking workout by the way!
Julie,
I posted the link to my blog post from last year, "Tracy's sock sleeves" in my blog link column, below the links to Food and Thought and Rifs blog.
I hope this helps, I know I'll be wearing my sock sleeves snatching the 16kg this morning,lol.
Fawn,
Just don't start doing crazy shit that I have to try and "out do" , lol!
You have inspired me to step up and start using my heavier bells only...I have been in such a rut lately and it's time to level up for good! ;)
Suh-weet! Thanks so much. I'm off to read it now.
And by the way, I'm getting super addicted to this madness...so I'm certain I'll be back often!
A really tremendous job, Tracy!
And as usual I admire your creative approach to integrating heavy swings into a high volume sets .. it should scale in both directions.
Sheryl,
Get out of your rut! lol I don't use the heavy bells often, I just don't need to for the kind of training I do. But this heavy variable is important to help make using the lighter bells easier. Progressive strenthing.
LOL! thanks! I am not swinging the real big ones like you yet but I have banished my 20's and only have my 12k and 16k to work with...(Such a small level up but yet mentally so big);-]
franklin,
Scaling up, scaling down is what laddering is all about...training progressively is the key to high volume kettlebells. I've always done it this way.
And when I found timed sets, I added that dimension in to my style of progressive combination kettlebells....and wow! Lot's of work getting done!
