I don’t consider myself to be a super-strong
middle-aged man but am decent when it comes to the overhead press lift. I remember years ago spending time working my
barbell overhead press and got as high as 175 lbs. for a single repetition before
moving on to “bigger and better” training.
Now, that training is using kettlebells.
I enjoy taking them with me wherever I go. Last Friday, one week ago today, I took them
with me to Santa Cruz and put them to work for an overhead press workout at
nearby La Selva Beach.
My workout consisted of ten rounds pressing a
pair of 24kg kettlebells, starting a new round every three minutes. I concluded with a bonus round using a pair
of 20kg kettlebells.
I enjoyed this workout as I do most of my workouts. The background ocean breeze and sunny day made
for a great outdoor training experience taking 30:37 to complete.
Double overhead press work with a pair of challenge-appropriate
kettlebells is always a good way to blast my shoulders.
Pax Domini sit semper vobiscum
