Presses and Swings

Training is going good!  I've been seriously consistent and my numbers are going up up up!
Last week I pressed the pair of 24 kg bells for 5 reps for a PR (personal record).  I usually like to back off a little bit the week following a PR.  Here's what I did today.

Kettlebell Military Press 24 kg bells x 3 sets of 3, 18 kg bells x 3 sets of 5
Kettlebell Swings - 20 reps on the minute using, the 24 kg bell x 5 sets, 18 kg bell x 7 sets

Everything felt good.  Looking at my video it's no wonder why my right shoulder felt just a little funky.  In my first set I have the bell laying way too far behind the arm and I could really feel the loss of leverage this causes.  The next sets were easier when I fixed this!

 For those of you who say they don't have the time or space to strength train you can see me here getting my entire workout done  in my bedroom.  My entire kettlebell strength and conditioning workout is just 2 rounds of 12 minutes so I get my full workout done in under 30 minute 2 days a week!
