     @coolboymew I should count one day how many I do in total for each different weight.
     But I guess I'm around that.

     @coolboymew Just did an estimate without any weight, and if I do the same speed on each one of my weight I do 42 for each kettlebell.

     @karna I had to stop for a small while because I hurt my lower back again but it stabilized enough to start exercising again. Ironically, goblet squats, which were hard on my back at the beginning, seems to be totally fine on my back. Actually, my back is better right now after doing them???

     @coolboymew @karna Movement is the best medicine. Make sure you stretch well afterwards

     @coolboymew i dont know what you were doing before but I'm not surprised about your back being ok with goblets squats since they make it easier to hold good posture than regular squats once you get the basic motion down

     @karna Yeah, probably why (Also back issues are not an issue of exercises)

     @coolboymew The best thing ive found for back stability during heavier compound exercises like these is doing the valsalva maneuver to tighten your core (breathing into your balls, to quote someone). Its like wearing a lifting belt without actually wearing one. Once you reach a heavy enough weight though you can't really replace the belt

     @karna oh yeah, that's obligatory for super heavy lifting, isn't it?

     @coolboymew The belt? Depends on your definition of super heavy. The valsalva maneuver though - I'm a big fan of for most exercises where you need to tighten your core (which is most of them). I also find light hyperextensions to help with back stiffness if you have to sit a lot like at a desk job during the day

     @coolboymew Oh yeah, for sure. my point is that I find it helpful at lighter weights too
