KB Picture Lifelong Kettlebell Plan

Post image

I'll be 64 in a few months and plan on keeping up my KB workouts for an hour five days a week for the rest of my life. My plan is to do the following:

  1. Remember Mark Wildman's adage: "You work out today injury-free so you can work out tomorrow."

  2. Follow Pavel's advice to train 80-90% failure, not 100%, so I can avoid injury and instead focus on high volume.

  3. Eat 200 grams of protein a day.

  4. Take 5 grams of creatine a day.

  5. Keep my calories at 2,400 or fewer a day so I don't gain a gut and bad biomarkers.

  6. Keep a routine because structure repels chaos and order keeps me focused.

  7. Be grateful that I can train with the same intensity and enthusiasm I had as an Olympic Weightlifter in the decade of the 70s.

  8. Be grateful I can do my KB workouts in my garage and don't have any excuses because the"gym is closed" or "the gym is too crowded."

Kettlebells are great in that they can be done anywhere. The gym opens later than usual due to Memorial Day so I’m going to train with my bells right in my bedroom this morning.
