So I just finished a 4wk Geoff Neupert kettlebell thing.
My review is mixed.
I didn’t see any weight loss but am able to lift more.
I started with two 35# KBs and quickly moved to 44s. This was as far as I could go with matching doubles. From there I had to use a 44 in one hand and a 53 in the other and switch. Didn’t like that at all! Felt unbalanced in my hips and kinda messed with an old lower back thing.
The diet aspect was useless for me. It was very old school 90’s gym stuff. I’m a vegetarian and even went back to chicken in an attempt to do this. Twas a mistake as it fucked up my insides. I’m keeping the Sunday fast though. I kinda want to move it a weekday as it has been conflicting with family gatherings/meals but, it’s saved me from family desserts as well. Hah!
But I generally liked the routine. It was very basic. And just to test things out I did a Simple & Sinister based routine today and was able to do it with the 53 and I honestly could have done a bit heavier if I wanted to and had access to a heavier bell. Could probably just use a dumbell but I like the way kbs hang. The weight at the bottom.
I added on 30min of cardio and sometimes a lil boxing. Though the latter was hard cuz the workouts made my shoulders and arms feel a bit wore out by the time I got around to punching a bag.
Anyways, I’m looking for another routine! Def something that will build leg muscle even if the leg part is traditional gym stuff and everything else is KBs. I work out m-f. Have a pretty decent diet and have access to lost standard gym equipment.
Any programs I should look into? Or any know programs that can be augmented to have more leg stuff going on? I’d also like to get into plyometrics/calisthenics(don’t know the difference) as the movements seem like a good idea.
Thanks
