Off Day - Rite of Passage Classic 20kg - 10/16/2025
"Becoming strong ain’t easy or everybody would be. It’s really that simple. The bar isn’t going to lift itself, the kettlebell isn’t going to swing itself, and no one but you can make you get out of bed early on a cold dark morning to make yourself do what you said you wanted to do." -- Mark Reifkind

Recap Week 2 - Rite of Passage Classic 20kg - 10/12/2025
Everything felt great this week. I had to take a few days off this week because frankly, my schedule and energy demands required me too. I have made a couple changes to my nutrition : I'm no longer having protein bars or shakes. I think having that on this plan was barking up the wrong tree and I'd much rather keep my plan as simple as possible. I'm also going to be weighing myself every morning once my scale arrives. When I do hit a muscle gain program (probably Return of the Kettlebell) I'll incorporate some whole foods but not shakes/bars.
My press is feeling super strong. The 20kg is already feeling fairly light and easy to press. The pressing groove feels healthy and smooth. I've been doing some chin ups but they're still a bit of a struggle. They are optional, so I'm okay with that.
Onto week 3.

Recap Week 1 - Rite of Passage Classic 20kg - 10/02/2025
Recap Week 1 - Rite of Passage Classic 20kg - 10/02/2025
Everything felt great this week. I'm really enjoying the hand to hand swings as my main swing of choice for the swing days. They've always felt more intuitive to me. I mix all the swings up but I definitely favor the h2h variety. Chin Ups are a bit tougher still but I've also had a lot of water retention. I still get some each session but I'm eager to get back to chin ups being effortless.
I'm liking using a heavier weight than the 16kg, the 16kg was a bit too light for me to get 'form feedback'. As Gray Cook says : 'Heavy weight is instructive.' It's just enough weight where I can pinpoint where I need to sharpen up.
Onto week 2!
