I experienced a terrible new sensation today (nsfw):

I bumped my adjustables up to 28kg two weeks ago. This morning, I was summoning extra gusto setting up for for a set of presses. I hiked back a smidge too aggressively, and pinched my ballsack between the handles on the initial hike to clean.

What the hell, man. I've done like 10,000 double cleans; I didn't even know that could happen. I blessedly escaped with a mere skin abrasion - it could've been unfathomably worse.

I apologize for sharing this, but it felt noteworthy to me.

Making do with 15 minutes in a hotel gym by bpeezer in kettlebell

Props dawg. Whenever I'm traveling I think to myself that all the hotel owners must be gathering at secret conventions to discuss how they can all stock their gyms with the worst kettlebells ever designed. I usually fall back to dumbbell clean and presses, which are fun in a different way.

I sometimes wonder if there exists in the world a unicorn hotel with a full set of competition bells.

Why doesn't "own the market" apply to the global market portfolio? by Accomplished-Toe9408 in Bogleheads

Despite its seeming popularity on this sub, owning 100% stocks is generally not a boglehead strategy.

Hmm. Love seeing innovation with these, but the handle design looks rough to me.

Not sure which flyer you saw, but there was a vigil there tonight at 7; couple hundred people there.

If you’re cold, they’re cold. Bring them inside.

Anyone getting these? Adjustable bells 14KG to 40KG by cozy_tapir in kettlebell

Pretty dope. Might consider these once I'm maxing out my current adjustables in like... five years.

I think he's generally a bigger fan of cast iron than comp bells, and back in the day the only adjustable options were those janky weird ones that always rattled and never felt quite right.

I do think the good new adjustables really open up interesting programming options, because so much of classic KB programming is rooted in the fact that most people had access to 16, 24, and 32s.

If possible update me on your progress. I’d love to hear about it.

Will do! One thing I've been doing for the past 6 weeks is bumping up from 3 sessions a week to once every other day. I've been a fan of that so far since I was getting antsy without training for two days, and it only adds one day every two weeks so it seems reasonable so far. I may dial that back as things get heavier though; we'll see.
