Good choice. 70 is good for goblet squats as well as swings, and you can do one arm presses as well, and some pullovers. The 35er can be used for offset carries.

70 lb KB swings will light your posterior chain up. Perfect fat loss exercise as well. My wife canāt really handle 35 pounds for many reps but sheās a dainty little gal.

My 89 year old grandpa was the same. Running fence posts all by himself in his farm. Itās a damn shame that pneumonia got him, but he never lost his ability.

One of my āfavoriteā complexes is a squat, swing, one hand farmer carry ladder.
Close second exercise is kb lunge held in the goblet position. Lights up pretty much everything.

I was taught to admire hard work and effort.
Do that and you donāt need a participation trophy.
I used to belong to a gym that had the full size plates with the slots in them. They made fine kettlebells. Of course 45 per side was limit. Not sure if those come heavier

Trust me, if the pod I inhabit was larger, Iād have ordered a barbell. I am cursed by inhabiting a City. This is a mistake I will rectify in future.

Interesting. Looks like the whiskey I drink has another use! I bet it makes better mouthwash

Do you have five minutes to talk about the lord and savior that is the elastic band? No? Maybe a pamphlet? No?
Seriously, for cabin fever workouts in cramped conditions in my opinion nothing beats Dan Johnās complexes done with bands (Cosgroveās can be adapted as well)

I used a lot of band workouts during the last lockdown, and they are great for the trapped lifter. This time I felt the need for something made of cast iron. One that I can train to throw at the Irish cabinet in about 6 weeks.

Then have fun with the girya. Ease into it, focus on form, even on presses but especially on swings and expect some visible growth in your upper back.

There is only one legitimate way for whiskey to pass through the sinuses.
On the way out!

I never understood the concept of whiskey and itās supposed ātasteā.
āSure, it tastes like shit but when you exhale after drinking it youāll detect a nice aroma of wood and smokeā
Why not get hammered on cheap moonshine and smell a scented bar of soap afterwards then?
Also, @Legalsteel if you have bought a girya you do know that you have turn off the heating in your house during winter and let in some aggressive mold? Supplements are also a no-no and only fresh kefir can be drunk as a PW meal.
I mean, if you want to really go old school and not like the American weaklings who have appropriated Tsarist farm weights.

Yeah Iām with you on that. A few weeks ago I tried some ridiculously expensive whiskey that is supposed to be some of the best in the world, Johnnie Walker blue label (apparently sells for $500/bottle) and this Indian whiskey called Amrut. Johnnie Walker had a sort of medicine aftertaste and the Amrut was surprisingly smooth considering it it 75% alcohol, but it doesnāt excite me in the least. I do like aged rum, El Dorado and Flor de Cana are nice, but Iām not going to pay hundreds for a bottle. After tasting those fancy whiskies, I think Iām going to stick with overproof white rum or beer.
Drink bourbon and blow off scotch.
Halteres were around way before Russia

Probably because my sinuses were too stuffed. Is there a difference?
Iām not the most cultured person.
Johnny Walker Blue is bullshit. Ridiculously overpriced junk masquerading as scotch. I might pay $50 a bottle for it with a gun to my head. Macallan 18+ on the other hand is genuinely good whiskey.
The Balvenie Caribbean cask finish is also excellent. And Suntory Hibiki is mind-blowing. Too bad they killed off my favorite variation of it.
