7/4/20 Saturday July 4, 2020 (KB conditioning)

From Spokane, WA

Took 2 24kg bells to Spokane with Leah and Sam for a long weekend in Spokane for the 4th.

Saturday morning, did about 30 or so minutes of mostly conditioning work.

Some overhead holds, rack walks, some farmer carries, some push presses, a few swings.

Honestly, felt great.  KBs are really fantastic for this type of stuff.  This is probably what I will end up doing in Priest Lake during vacation in August.  Plan on bringing 2 32kg bells and the 2 24s.  Will mix and match, some days I will do double overhead presses with the heavier bells to help with the press movement, and then double front squats to keep some work for the squat while I am gone and away from the barbell.  Probably a lot of rack holds and walks, these are highly underrated in terms of how hard they get.  It really forces you to stay tight in the abs and glutes to hold the bells in place. There is carry over to this for many lifts.
