I have ordered some heavier kettlebells. I'm going to start integrating a 24 kg into my swing sets. During the 30 days I progressed from using a 12 kg to the 16 kg for my turkish get ups. Progress all around. Also, though I didn't measure strictly I noticed that my jeans have gotten looser and I have had to pull my belt tighter. I posted a picture on Facebook yesterday and a number of people remarked that I had lost weight! I also feel like my back is stronger and my posture is better.
My plan for the next several weeks is to follow Pavel Tsatsouline's Simple and Sinister program. I know in my last post I said I would go back to doing Tracy Reifkind's workouts but I found that I really liked the daily practice of the 30 day challenge. Now that I've had a couple of days off and time to think S&S is the way to go for me for now.
I also stumbled across the Original Strength program during the last month via the Rdella Strength Training podcast in which Scott Iardella interviewed one of the author's Geoff Neupert. I bought the book Pressing Reset, Original Strength Reloaded. I've started doing a 10 minute reset from the book daily and I can already feel the difference. My hips (I've been having trouble with my left hip) and bum right shoulder feel better and so does my lower back. I highly recommend the resets they only take 10 minutes or so!
I'll be posting more often again, but probably not everyday. Actually I might at least post my daily numbers if not much narrative.
