Thoughts: So, I’ve switched it up. A four day a week upper/lower split. I love Kettlebells, but it’s time for a change… I may do some KB work aside from this, but we’ll see.

I seem to have lost some chest strength. I could do 10-ish or more dips no problem, not today… I had to yank some weight off the bod to do what I did. Mind you, I had just finished bench pressing!
