@grace302015 Thank you! Just keep at it. One day those 16s will feel like feathers.

@tythomasjr Honestly I had to completely stop lifting for about 4 months. I was stubborn and pushed it for a long time but I got to a point where I had pain simply lifting a dish. PT had me do all sorts of rotation exercises and then electric stimulation for blood flow. It finally got better...

@jim_68 Arms definitely bigger. Weight is hovering down around 5 lbs, so fat wise probably down more than that but offset with muscle mass. I definitely feel it each night after work outs when everything starts to stiffen. When I started with 28s I started wearing a belt as I found moving that...

@ocdgal46 Thank you. Just trying to stave off feeling as old as I am.

@belovedsone Trust me, I was huffing and puffing. Just take a deep breath and keep pushing. I think I finished with 5 seconds to spare. Lol

@belovedsone When I started with the 32s they were more like my 3RM. I’m now likely a 5RM, as number 6 on each set is a big strain. It’s my conditioning that gets me more so than the presses. By the time I get to 6 my heart rate is definitely showing it.

@juancarlos No, not at all. Seven years ago I was close to 300 lbs and couldn’t do much without getting winded. I started walking 4 miles a day on the treadmill and at one point before Lyme I got to 185 lbs. Lyme really screws with your metabolism and stamina and then COVID screws with your...

@snowlucario That is a good idea. Thank you for the tip! I may just do that. That way I can adjust to the 8’s.

@snowlucario I would like to, but the way sets of 6 are kicking my butt now, I don’t know how I will ever make the jump to sets of 8!

Hello r/kettlebell. Long time reader, first time poster. A little about me, I’m 57 and started using kettlebells back in 2019. Started learning with the Skogg program with the basics, the started S&S. Things were going great until I ended up with a horrible case of golfer’s elbow that forced...
