Saturdays are optional training days for me (I do 3x kettlebell workouts a week, 2 conventional barbell workouts, and then Sat/Sun sometimes do a bit extra if I'm feeling energetic). Today being Saturday I decided to have some fun with my 71lb and 80lb kettlebells.
My backyard lawn depth is about 40ft, so I decided to get some sun and do a lot of carries [each is there and back].
Set 1: Farmer walk (71 L, 80 R)
Set 2: Racked walk (71 R)
Set 3: Farmer walk (80 L, 71 R)
Set 4: Racked walk (71 L)
Set 5: Farmer walk (71 L, 80 R)
Set 6: Racked walk (80 R)
Set 7: Farmer walk (80 L, 71 R)
Set 8: Racked walk (80 L)
Set 9: Farmer walk (71 L, 80 R)
Set 10: Overhead carry (71 R)
Set 11: Farmer walk (80 L, 71 R)
Set 12: Overhead carry (71 L)
Set 13: Farmer walk (71 L, 80 R)
Set 14: Double racked walk (71 L, 80 R)
Set 15: Farmer walk (80 R, 71 L)
Set 16: Double racked walk (80 L, 71 R)
Set 17: Farmer walk (71 L, 80 R)
I knew I was going to do about 8 sets just to play with it, but kept adding to it; on the left-handed 71lb overhead carry I made the conscious choice not to do the 80lb because I was already getting a bit too shaky.
It was a lot more fun than I expected it to be, and was definitely a good workout; in the past I used to try and do a carry workout when I was looking for something different and intend to reincorporate this every month or so. Give it a try!
