Swings, Squats and Bacon

The solution for hard gainers?
I squat every day because it is awesome. During the month of November I also do 200 kettlebell swings every day, just to develop discipline (realizing at 10:30pm when you are already in bed that you forgot to do your swings is NOT FUN).

Needless to say I eat a lot of bacon and, am constantly in pain somewhere, and always want more sleep, always.

But hey, if you want to be a regular Joe just do what regular Joe's do. If you want to be awesome, do what a champion would do.

Here is the workout I did today, give it a try if you dare....or just don't know what else to do.
  • A1 Swings, 32kg kettlebell
    • 200 reps in sets of 20
  • A2 Push-ups
    • 100 in sets of 25
  • B1 Safety Bar Squat with Bands (it is a cambered bar)
    • 95 x 5, 135 x 5, 185 x 5, 225 x 5, 275 x 3, 315 x 1, 365 x miss
      • another 100lbs of band weight was added to the bar for all sets
  • B2 Fat Bar High Pull
    • 135 x 2, 185 x 2, 215 x 3 x 3
      • just working on technique
  • Tire Flip
    • 850lbs x 10 flips
I have posted this video of a high pull variation before but it is worth repeating. Watch how he uses his whole body to explode the weight up.

    I have been at it a long time. It is good to start light and focus on technique first.
