thanks to the Russians, Pavel and Rif for creating, bringing and introducing me to the Kettlebells. I just love the bells. I love the feeling of being strong, fit, athletic, mobile, flexible, smooth, rhythmic, and so much more. Plus, the effects it has on all the folks I personally have worked, those whom I do not know and the athletes I train are just incredible. I have really yet to have me et a person who has trained with them and exercises in general on a regular basis who does not enjoy having them as part of their regular workout routine.
So today a couple of the guys on the team and I got out and hit the bells
Windmill
24/5/5x2
32/5/5x1
the groove is strong, I felt so good with this move. I find that this is the move that when I do it I realize just how much I enjoy the motion, how crucial it is and just why I need it in the program.
Pistol
24/3/3x1
32/2/2x1
40/1/1x2
Another great move and everytime I do it I am reminded of the KB Principles. The groove felt good and the left leg equal to the right which is not always the case in this exercise.
Clean and Press, 2 KBs
24/5/5x1 warm-up
32/5/5x5
Awesome and progressively improved with each set. I cannot wait to do double 40's....yikes, lol
2 hand swing
40/10x5
followed Rifs blog entry a number of days ago. We went 1 for 1 and had heavy weight, low reps, limited rest. We could have done more but considering the fact we are meeting up with Ken Black tomorrow and who knows what he has in store for us and the fact the guyz had more workouts and I am starting to feel under the weather this was a great point to build off.
Until tomorrow
