Rearranged

300 24k kettlebell swings made me feel new in my skin! Stand, move differently. Great movement.


Signed up to spectate the 2010 CrossFit Games sectional qualifier in Virginia in March. Could be fun, might learn some things; in any case, my first "sporting" event in several years!

Up 'n' at them

Too much snow to go out, so I took inspiration from this article and climbed the stairs in my building.


5 x 39 meter ascents:


1:46
1:50
1:57
1:49
2:05


It has been a long while since I used to climb the Georgetown "Exorcist" stairs. It shows.

Just keep the motor running

Airing out

Damn cold today. 3 mile hike and 300 air squats. It has been a while since I did any air squats and doing 300 felt really good ... not easy, but not gasping hard.
So, progress.

Signet

All-woods bell

Found a ready-made obstacle course in the woods made from a half-dozen fallen trees; climbed through with the 24k kettlebell and did 200 swings holding the 'bell with my fingers rather than in my palm. This really helped to reduce the blister factor.

Did somewhat the same yesterday, except added a bunch of one hand swings and cleans.

I bought a light 12k 'bell to work on snatch form and it has been really helpful. Excellent service and price from MuscleDriver.
