Few years ago I wrote How heavy is 20 kg, last few months I have been trying to tackle a 32kg kettlebell and I can tell you this one is damn lot heavier.
There are many benefits of a heavy bell -
1. It teaches humility, hubris disappears faster than... Ice
❄ on equator
2. Auto corrects tendency to use shoulders while swinging.
3. Teaches Mindfulness, Makes you cautious
4. Goblet squats are far more challenging.
That apart, though I can clean & Jerk them, I still have to muster courage for Snatches & Get ups.

It basically is -
5 Swings on top of the minute for times varying from 10 minutes to 50 minutes. 5 swings take about 10 seconds, balance 50 seconds are supposed to be active rest - I basically walk and shake the muscle groups which are tired.
Yesterday was 50 minutes /250 swings workout.
Did that comfortably - primarily because my technique & grip have improved a bit. Did use lifting chalk too.
Realised- am a sissy (am a show-off too but that is something I always knew)
Tore calluses of my palm and am handling things gingerly, also contemplating giving today's training a skip...
