Double Kettlebell Front Squat...

9/22/2014

Sometimes I get frustrated with my strength training workouts.  Sometimes I feel disappointment in the weight I'm using.  That it's not heavy enough.  I think I should be lifting heavier.  I hate when I feel that way. 

Most of the time I'm very happy with the weight I push, pull, press, or whatever.  But some exercises always feel challenging.  Like double kettlebell front squats.  I hate double kettlebell front squats (maybe an attitude change would make me love them more?).  But the truth is I've always hated them.  And why do I hate them?  Because they are always, always, hard for me!

Every time I do them using the 12k's I feel like a wimp.  I'll be doing my work out and saying Mary Ellen you should go heavier you're a wimp.  Now, I can do double front squats using the 14k's and 16k's but I hate them, so I don't.  I always go to the 12k's (almost all the time). 

Anyway, after some mobility work, pistol practice and 3 sets of 20 swings with the 20k here's the double kettlebell workout I did today using the 12k's:

1.      3 Swings
2.      3 Cleans
3.      3 Squats
4.      1 seesaw press

Do #1 thru #4 before putting the bells down, rest as needed, repeat five times.  That is one set.  I continued for three sets total.  And I finished with 2 more sets of 20 swings with the 20k. 

So, by now I'm feeling pretty darn awesome and thinking what the heck that I used the 12k's!  I just had a dynamite challenging workout!  I feel good!

Again, I remind myself that what's good enough for me is good enough for me...

and that, my friend, is all I'm after...

I'm not such a wimp after all!

BAM!!!
