July 21Th.


taking the paint off the handles.

WO du jour:
15 mile bike ride in the morning.
afternoon session:
10,9,8,7,6,5,4.......1 reps
2-40kg deadlifts
2-28 kg floor press
2-24kg long cycle.
21:18 not an easy session.

Still working on my Kettlebell "make over" project of taking the paint off the handles. It uncovers the imperfections of the castings that have been concealed with lots of paint. The paint will chip off if you use them enough and that makes for a bad handling to work with especially if you use lots of reps as kettlebells were designed to be used. You can retain the paint for appearance if you don't do a lot of reps or doubles. However, if you rep in the hundreds like you are expected to do, then the paint will look and fell like crap.
