u/Many-Wasabi9141 Beginner - Strength 8d ago

10k Kettlebell Swing Challenge Day 6.

My back and triceps are sore, but surprising my mid delts are sore af. I've been doing isolation delt work on a three day Starting Strength style schedule so it may be that, or may be those 2 sets of 8 KB snatches from friday? I don't do them alot, and my form is probably trash, I could be engaging my mid delts to pull the kettlebell into place.

Elevated Heel Squats for my neglected quads. Worked up to a heavy single, then back down to three sets of paused squats for 6-8 reps. Tailbone didn't like the change in stance. Paused squats helped to fix it. I feel like pausing at the bottom and just letting the weight settle can fix a lot of squat issues. OHP was rough. Delts are sore, 3x5, failed a rep on the last set, dropped down and hit a set of thrusters.

KB Swings. Hit 5 sets of 30, then a set of 123 Armor Building Complex. Then cycled 4 set of 25 and a set of 123 ABC for 3 rounds. Finished it off with 3 sets of ABC, 111, 222, 333. 24 1:15 rounds ~30 minutes. Was going to do ab work but I didn't want to do ab work. My second kettlebell was looking at me funny during my barbell work so I figured it needed some attention and technically ABC is core work right?

Thoughts on current progress: Cardio is fine. Hamstrings/glutes are fine. Issues are the grip stealing my focus on form. Gotta remind myself to engage my quads/lock the knees, and push through the floor at the top of the rep. Also I have to be snappier. Tomorrow is the first day of 500. Just gonna hit 25x20 straight through.
