Traveling for family vacation. Luckily the wife is as much a kettlebell enthusiast as me, so I brought along a few of our ‘bells for vacation workouts.

On vacation - didn’t bring the 62 (just our 26, 53, 70). So for the “medium” day today I just used the 53 for most of the sets and went up to the 70 for the last two sets per arm.

Also mowed the grass today and did some chores. In other fitness news, my 97-pound kettlebell arrived today - I plan to press that for my new 1RM at the end of my 12-week StrongFirst press program.

Decided that I’m going to move up some of the “Heavy” sets to using the 80/88 rather than 70/80 because I want to make sure I’m well-prepared to handle the 97 in a few weeks.

Moved my weight for the “heavy” days up to the 80 from the 70. Want to make sure I am well primed to handle heavy weights for my new 1RM press with the 97 in a couple weeks.
