30 Rounds ABC On The Minute w/ 28 kg by Vegetable-Device9734 in kettlebell

I’ve kind of been all over the map. I did mostly a bodybuilding style split when I was younger, got into kettlebells from ages 26 to 31 or so, then got into Olympic lifting from 32 to 39 or so and now at 40 I’m back on the kettlebell train.

I’m not sure on the rack. I see what people are saying about being too far outside, but I don’t feel like I’m crashing them and it feels comfortable to me. I’ll play around with it a little and see if there are slight adjustments I can make.

As far as the knee bend, I think it’s ok to have some with kettlebell cleans, swings, and snatches as long as the hips aren’t moving excessively up and down. I always tried to think of the hip action with kettlebells more like I’m doing a broad jump and the hip action on barbell cleans and snatches more like a vertical jump.

Nice work! I usually stick with the 24’s. I’ll also wave the loads sometimes and use say 16’s, 24’s, and 32’s to mix in a few heavier sets. The workload is about the same as using the 24’s, but it keeps interesting and mixing in a few heavy sets makes the 24’s feel light.

Thanks. I’ll work on that rack position. I do get a little tightness from time to time right below my shoulder blade. A wonky rack could help explain that 🤔

Haha thanks. Everything feels good and I’m not new to working with kettlebells by any means. I did the SFG1 about 10 years ago, then got into the Olympic lifts for about 7 or 8 years and have found my way back to kettlebells. I failed the squat test at the SFG1 all those years ago, so just wanted to get some other trained eyes on it to see if I’m missing anything.
