Return of the 16
I lend out my kettlebells all the time. I don't mind, if someone wants to try them out for a little bit..no problem. Most people find they like them so much they want their own. Just spreading the word via kettlebell.
One of my 16's came back today, so...
Warm Up
Swings 20,10,10,10
Jerk Set
2 - 16's
7 Minutes
6,6,6,6,6,6,6
It's impressive when I see others use the 32's. I'm not even 1/2 way! I have to admit using the 32's in not one of my goals right now. I think I can get everything I need out of the 24's!
Snatch Set
