Just getting back into kettlebells after many months away due to sickness/insomnia. I wasn't exactly Hercules before but I can feel how much I suck now and it's depressing.

But dammit I am going to become slightly above average again.

I missed ~20 days and had to reduce all the weights by five pounds. First setback. Feels bad man.
 
How do you people train your upper back with dumbbells? Like the traps? I use dumbbell rows, but I would like to add another exercise to my repertoire. Also, I need some inspiration for abs training at home.

For abs, leg lifts, flutter kicks, Russian twists, planks, crunches. My favorites are the ab roller (standing or kneeling if you're learning), and hanging leg lifts with back support so you're focusing on your core and and not just your hips. I found hanging leg lifts from the pullup bar too easy to swing and get momentum. You can also keep your legs at a 90 degree angle while doing pullups. My upper abs are crazy after a month of ab roller and hanging leg lifts. Almost sticking out as far as my pecs
