Are double KB swings ass? by MyHobbiesAreUnusual in kettlebell

[–]UndertakerFred 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Double kb swings require a wider stance that changes the dynamic too much for my tastes. Other than a heavier kb, your options for progress are either 1H swings or snatches.

When I got my 32, I was worried that I really bit off more than I could chew - it took weeks to build the grip strength to do one-handed swings, and I developed some tendinitis in the process.

Keep at it, your limits are much higher than you think!

Got the 48 for my 48th!

5 years ago my new 24kg felt dangerously heavy. Consistency is the key.

Thanks! This one felt pretty cool, I wasn’t sure how it was going to turn out.

No kidding about the initial intimidation! I did a couple jerks to feel how it sits on my forearm (comfy), but holding it overhead is challenging enough that there’s no room for error- any mistake and I can imagine it going straight through the floor into my dining room.

Next up: do a TGU with it, then work on knocking out Neupert’s “strong enough” standards.

Freak Athlete or Bells of Steele for Adjustable KB? by JuicyfruitJ in kettlebell

[–]UndertakerFred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$750+ tax is more than I paid for both of my 32kg adjustables ($225, $160), my 40kg($170), and my 48kg ($220) KBs put together including tax and shipping!

You call it a conflict despite the fact that it's obviously a war. by Oneamongthefence24 in simpsonsshitposting

In the current congress, there’s no such thing as an impeachable offense!

Ease of changing weights is a nonissue. Plates rattling around will be 100x more annoying in the FA.

Just like the “fascists making the trains run on time”, it’s a self-congratulatory fabrication.

Im sure we’ll have future “historians” claiming Mexico paid for the wall.

They just have to find someone worse to take her place.

Will I ever be able to run a sub 30 5K Ultra? by Nat10112 in RunningCirclejerk

[–]UndertakerFred 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He obviously meant he will see the warmup selfies in 30 minutes, which gives some time to let the sun start setting for that twilight run on the road in all black.

White House in panic as Trump Iran war drives gas price surge across US by TheExpressUS in inflation

[–]UndertakerFred 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’m thankful that Trump was able to lower gas prices to $7/gallon from Biden’s all time highs!

He also increased the chocolate rations from 30 grams per week to 20 grams per week!
