Okay, that sucked less—it’s amazing how quickly the body adapts!

Swings are still at 28 kg, dips were at 90 lbs. Today’s 50-rep sets were definitely easier: My forearms were still burning and my HR was still in the low 170s by the end, but they didn’t cripple me quite like yesterday.

Still moving way more slowly than I’d like, though. I’m not chasing the Time Dragon here—I just want to put in the work—but I have some kind of goal in my head of starting a new round every 8 minutes. I’m clearly falling short of that at the moment!

Also, there’s so much more I want to say about God Sven is a Beast, about my choice to do the 10K Swing Kettlebell Workout for 5 days here, and about what my next month of training might look like, but I’m just short on time… I’ll try to revisit all of that if I get a chance.

For now, though: Onward and upward!
