Good Training

did some serious Kettlebell training with my good buddy, Justin Yesterday. One thing I really like about Justin in that he is seriously into pushing the boundaries. Even if a little pain is involved, there are great levels of ability to accomplish.

Two days prior to this lifting session I got a new personal record with a 40K Kettlebell. That's around 88lbs. for you die hard americans...lol. I completed four snatches on each side in a row. Previously I would mostly do singles with this weight and maybe a double if i was feeling fiesty. My shoulders are still sore.

Yesterday Justin, John, and I stood in a circle, playing catch with fucking 40K! We tossed this around and the game was, you caught the bell, did one excercise with it, and passed it along. Both of hands were bleeding by the end. Fierce!!! Along with doing snatches, cleans, overhead squats, I also worked on palm cleans, where you swing the bell up, flip it, and catch it on the round side with your palm, then you may either do a waiter press, or simply flip it up catch the handle and swing it through. I was not tempted to do a waiter press with 40K but I was able to do the palm clean on each side which is very satisfying.
