I took a part of my workout from a friend today. I started off with TGUs that were broken down into the positions. 3x each position, but 3 windmills and waiter walks. It was a lot of time under the weight, so I kept the waiter walks short. Also, I could only do it with the 20# kettlebell. Tough! My right shoulder is feeling a bit wonky, so I feel like these will be really good for it.
Then, I wanted to work on my kettlebell swings, particularly the one-handed swings. The 1H swings are improving. My grip is getting better as well as my hip snap. Woot!!
16kg - 2H - 20, 20
12kg - 1H - 10R10L, 5R5L5R5L, 5R5L5R5L, 5R5L5R5L, 5x(2R2L)
16kg - 1H - 5R5L5R5L, 5R5L5R5L, 5x(2R2L)
16kg - 2H - 20, 20, 20
I've identified my next home gym purchase: fractional plates.
This is just my log of what is going on in the fitness side of my life. It's mostly for my own use, but if anyone else finds it interesting, great! Feel free to leave comments.
WARNING: I can be rather long winded.

Done deloading
Last week was a deload week, so I didn't have much to post.
Yesterday, I did my grip-killing workout. Then, today, I made the mistake of doing a kettlebell swing workout. Yikes. Forearms are not happy. I had to switch to the lighter kettlebell just to finish.
Yesterday:
mobility and foam rolling
Barbell deadlift - 4x135#, 3x145#, 7x155#, 2x7x160# (misloaded the last set; thought I was putting on 165#, but forgot a 5# plate. Doh! Didn't notice the imbalance at all.)
Romanian deadlift - 5x7x135#
Hanging knee raise - 5x8
Today:
Lots of 2-handed and 1-handed swings thanks to Tracy Reifkind.
