I Got A Feeling

The hmmm makes it sound a lot more interesting than a simple theragun!

I was recently “forced” to use kettlebells, and imo they can bring a different element to the usual exercises. Sort of like using fat grips, plus there’s the added element of the off-centered weight.

If you remember G1/germanone (top USAPL powerlifter) he used to do kettlebell stuff when he was taking a break from powerlifting, and he said that for whatever reason kettlebell work seemed to have a therapeutic effect on his body.

I would take anything he said as gospel
He posted some powerlifting meet results - He is or was one of the S&C coaches at a Major D1 university- pretty sure it was ASU.
which made all the sense in the world how perfect all his lifts where.

my little gym has KB’s and I use them allot shoulder junk- warm up stuff.
swings Get ups cleans and ‘DB’ stuff like lunges etc.
really when pressing them they are a different shape engage the hands - my they change things up enough - the momentum or lack of that they make-
and you have to control makes for some interesting inertia.

most good jigsaws have the controls on top - id have to find one with a trigger- or not- just one that worked

more of the same

Iron neck is really good- It already helps with mobility issues I have had for many many years.
Lets see if I can get yolked.

Been keeping with similar circuits
inside the house and when I can outside the house.
I dont really have a good place to be able to do pull-ups.

I do some thing like this in the house.

5 rounds of
BPA x 20
TRX face pulls 10
TRX row 10
KB swing 10
single arm swing 10 each
ab wheel x10
push up 20-30

pretty basic and easy to do
if I feel good I do another round or two

be safe
be strong

it’s possible to do rows under a dining table, though, which will maintain the lats.

You look just like Ted Allen!

I can’t do it, but I know you have a super strong grip. How about finger tip pullups on a door frame?

I can do some stuff with bands or the TRX and do some row type stuff

Its amazing- I need a " little " work separation lol.
finger pullups I can do a couple - the door jambs in this place ( out apt ) are maybe a 1/2"
and the wife had a heart atttack
