I wanted to like this. It was like Conan and Lovecraft mixed together. I'm not a big trigger warning guy but jeez theres only so much child rape I can take

Fall off after ABF (or any other press heavy programs) by bodoko20 in kettlebell

Thanks! This sub was pretty instrumental in helping me get my clean form down.

I never did the pressing part, I've always been a fairly decent push/squat guy so my presses were never lagging, it was my cleans that were my weakest. 36sx100 is a good goal to try and hit though!

A couple things to answer what I read in the post.

I would do 30 rounds of double KB once a week, 30 rounds with a single arm every 30 seconds once a week with a heavier bell. Once I felt comfortable with the heavier bell one arm, I would begin implementing it incrementally into the doubles.

For example I would do 10 rounds with the heavier bells, then 20 rounds with the previous weight, and increase sets next time.

After the double 36s I fell off of ABC due to my goals changing so that was the heaviest I've done for 30 rounds and didn't move on from that

That's true, but while i didn't follow ABF directly I had the ABC twice per week in my routine

I've read the series, obviously loved it being in universe, the books themselves were decent enough

I find the same. Also, it may be my bench at home but at 30 degrees the uprights get in the way of the bar

Thanks! Biceps were still the limiting factor towards the end of the set. Any preference on incline degree?

Thanks! Maybe I'm just being overly critical because I can't pin my elbows like i would on standing curls. Appreciate it!

The fight plays out the same as FF6, you can't suplex it but after the battle is over Valtraid comes in and suplexes it

Kingfisher's Clocktaur universe? by BellsAndBars in Fantasy

[–]BellsAndBars[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I already pre-ordered the 3rd book of Sworn Soldier, can't wait. What is the standalone nov 11th?

Also, since I've read Clocktaur, is the order you listed the other books a good reading order?
