Hey buddy, I'm busy with uni coursework, I'll be joining back in after a week or so. Thank you for keeping the thread alive! I'll be back asap!
Good to know! Thanks! Nice! Update: So far I've done 2 get ups, 15 swings, 3 push presses, 4 bottom up presses, 6 snatches, 6 squads and a bit of shadow boxing. Squads and swings both arms, rest ist single arm count. I use my trusty kettlebells and the greasing the groove method. Update #2: Did another short sport session, so todays total: both arms: 30 swings 10 squads (small + large kettlebell, changing sides) single arm (each side): 5 push presses5 bottom up presses (smaller kettlebell) 10 snatches 5 Halos 5 around the worlds 5 get ups Cheers and stay strong! /Baldur
I started kettlebell training a couple of months ago. I have gotten a lot stronger already and I see that I am still improving. Now I am asking myself this: If I can keep up my programm and keep increasing my strength with good form etc., what will I be able to deadlift at the end of this year? (I don't deadlift anything else than my girlfriend at the moment and I guess that counts as squatting.) My personal goal this year is a 400 lbs (181.4 kg) deadlift with proper form and raw. Without straps, belts or anything. Let's see if I can do that! Stay strong! /Baldur
Guys i m going to start again after a gap of month or 2 again?? So what do u suggest as i m under weight.
Hej @sagasing ! Great to have you back! It depends on your goals. What do you want to achieve with training? Update: Well. I had a beautiful day with lifting my gf and having a loooooong walk. Let's see what tomorrow brings. Cheers! /Baldur
I dont know yet but as i said i am underweight so i would like to start with something light like pushups and pullups what do u think guys also any suggestions as my height is 5 feet 6 inches and weight is just 47 or may be less its very hard for me to gain weight.
Alright. Do you have access to a gym? Or a barbell, kettlebells, weights? If not, I could recommend you the following exercises: Squads Deadlifting (something heavy that is lying around) Push ups Chin Ups Dips Bear crawls You can lift your friends as well. ... any exercise that uses the whole body. Focus on good form first! There is a list of things I would do mentioned earlier in this threat and on my journal. Check it out. You can do running, jumping, climbing trees and so on. You've got to increase what you are eating. Eat healthy but eat more. Sleep more. With a good caloric surplus, plenty of sleep and a couple of times a week training your whole body you will gain weight and strength at a good rate. Cheers! /Baldur
Update: I'm getting stronger! I just noticed that I can do a lot more repetitions with my kettlebells than I used to. The scale is also going up. Yaaaaay! Also, carrying my gf around seems like carrying a feather. Today I did some tree climbing and gf/tree log squats. In addition to that I don't sit around often. I have removed my chair in my apartment and squat, or kneel down. I'm looking forward to your stories! /Baldur
hell yeah I'll take the challenge chest barbell incline bench press: 185×5, 185x4, 185x4 barbell flat bench press: 205×5, 225x1, 205x3 dumbbell incline bench press: 150x4, 150x4, 150x4 abs 3 ab cycles: weighted captains char leg raises 8x12, 8x10, 8x8 - ab roller to failure, air bicycles to failure @165 lbs body weight shoulder is still a little sore so I was at about 90% today, but it felt awesome to lift heavy again. it's been a while. rest day tomorrow and then back and calves Tuesday
Awesome! I'm glad to hear that. Keep me up to date @sagasing ! Update: Did some more kettlebell fun. And boy is it rewarding. <3 Cheers! /Baldur

I fell off posting here recently, but figured that I might as well jump back in. Today was a whole lot of cardio and agility work. I sprinted and worked on moving my feet faster in preparation for football and baseball this coming year. Additionally, I played a few pick up basketball games, which felt fantastic
