Take care of your Bells



Oleg Ilika demonstrates how to get rough spots off you handles. especially useful when you still have old Kettlebells standing around like I do.

If you want to evade all that trouble when buying new ones, I can recommend you check out www.spodo.at , an extremly well equiped, obliging and dependable shop run by Mark Dorninger, a guy who is living at the other side of Austria and still manages to send me new Bells in about 1-2 days. That´s the kind of service you will not find at other stores.

Train hard and enjoy life!

All the best,

Gifts




Too often we despair facing such gifts life has given us, placed in font of us, simply because we do not understand...on one side. The other side does and will eventually guide us to what we have to learn from it.

Simplification

I´m gonna stay true to the title of this post...

1)Pick yourself a pullup- variation (Towel as seen in the video below, close, medium or wide grip, palms of the hand facing you or pointing away, a neutral grip, hands at different heights, comando pullps, walking at the pullup- bar, etc.)

2)Pick a Pushup- variation (Scorpion as seen in the video below, Dands, Divebombers, Iranian Pushups, CLose, shoulder width or wide pushups, pushups on a gymnastic ball, be it with hands or feet on it, ring- pushups, clapping, one- arm, hands in an offset- pattern, etc)

3)Pick a leg- exercise (Lunges as seen in the video below, Jumping Lunges, Lunges forward, backward or to the side, Squats, 1 & 1/2 Squats, Jumping Squats, jumping forward or for height, one- legged squats aka Pistols, Split Squats, Rope Skipping, Sprinting, Cossack- Squats, Box Jumps, Knee Tuck Jumps, etc.)

Set a number of repetitions for each exercise and do them.
Keep perfect form and enough tension throughout your body.
Keep a good pace in order to get a excellent cardiovascular workout.

You can split the exercises, for example if you goal are 50 Pullups, 100 Pushups and 200 Squats you can do 5 Pullups, 10 Pushups and 20 Squats for 10 rounds.
Use any other number you like.
Another way to go is completing one exercise after another. So do all the pullups, then all the pushups, then all the squats.

Simply get the reps and keep your time to measure progress.





Train hard and enjoy life!

Harry
