I discovered that attempting to get ahead of yourself and ignoring your limitations (lack of good sleep, diet) can be a definite detriment to progress.
In hindsight, I think my decision to use the 32s when I was trying to heal my elbow may have been a bit optimistic, to say the least. While I’ve had a lot less pain in my elbow as RTK went along, it became really noticeable when jerking the 32s.
For my last week of Return of The Kettlebell training, I decided to move up to the final rung of 10, but do 4 ladders with my 24 kg kettlebells.
Last Saturday I finished my second phase grind block with 5 ladders of 5 rungs with the 20 kg kettlebells. I started with the 20s to give my sore elbow a rest and to get into the progression groove. the 16s would have been too light, the 24s would have taxed my elbow too much. So luckily, I had a set of 20s to get me through these grind and explosive kettlebell lifting blocks.
This is the second week of my second grind block in Return of The Kettlebell, so I upped the ladders and rungs to 5.
