I got this template workout from the Dragon Door Hardstyle magazine and it was an article written by Brett Jones. I thought I'd try it. I found it to be challenging. I would have like to have done another circuit but one was enough and I think I took longer rest periods in between then I would have liked.
This template is one Mr. Jones recommends for those who plan on getting their RKC instructor certificate. I know I'm not interested in being an instructor but I might want to take some certificate training in the future.
I have lots of ambitions and goals and for me I am training with kettlebells to look buff and get an efficient workout. Yes I am a little vain but my vanity is also good for my health since exercise is good for you and makes you feel better and more confident.

Snatches 8 x 8l/8r

I measured myself last Sunday as I've been keeping track of my hip, waist and thigh measurements and I lost another inch in my hips and lower ab area. I think I started taking my measurements a month into training but so far I've lost 2 inches in the hip/lower ab area, which is probably where the most fat is stored. I probably want to lose 2-3 more inches there, 2 inches in my thighs and about 5 inches around my waist. The unfortunate thing in weight loss is you can't tell the body where you want all the fat to leave.

My hands are blistery as well from doing these snatches. I wanted to do an extra set because I know last time I did a workout of just snatches, I did 8 sets of 7 so I wanted to do an extra set. Damn I found this hard to do!

Done with a 26 lb bell:

French press, held by the handle instead of horns: 2x10
Twist: 2x20
Snatches: 7l/7r

I cleaned and pressed the 35 lb for the first time and I had to use my free hand to help me but I figure that's because it's more heavier. I originally did that a few times when I cleaned and pressed the 26 lb and had to use both hands. I want to start using a heavier weight for lifting so I think doing the clean and press is a good start.

I read that men want to work their upper bodies whereas women want to work on their lower body so they tend to do exercises for these areas (you can't spot reduce anyways) so I thought maybe if I tried to add extra upper body exercises (like the press) it would help me slim down my lower body.

I also did the french press but when I saw the exercise, the bell was held by the horns and I held it by the handle, which made it easier to work with. I think after a few times holding it that way, I should be able to lift it by the horns.

I am sweating from this workout!
I am still experiencing some numbness and tingling in my body but it is definitely not as intense as it was earlier this week. I am glad to be doing better but hopefully when I see my doctor on Monday, she will tell me what was going on with my body.

Swings: 2x20

I'm still experiencing the numbness and tingling in my body and it did affect me a bit during the workout.

Today's workout was done with a 35 lb kettlebell:
Swings: 4x20

My wrist is still a bit numb and tingling although my fingers weren't tingling like yesterday. I don't know if other exercises will aggravate my condition.

Today's workout was short as I went to a walk in clinic this morning because last night I had a sharp pain in my arm and my lower arm starting feeling numb and tingling. I am suffering from repetitive strain injury because of my work station is not erogonomic. So I am wearing a wrist splint and my hand is still tingling.

Today's workout was done with the 35 lb bell.
Swings: 3x10, 1x20
Total 60 reps.
I would have done more but I don't want to put too much strain on my wrist this early on.
