15 min turkish get-ups~ getting a little easier with the 35.

430 swings.

Tried as hard as I could to do 20 a minute alternating between the 18, 26,35 and 44 and did 2 consecutive rounds with that before I had to take a couple min break.
700 out of 1,500 swings down for the week plus 55 out of 100 that I am making up from last week.

Thursday 8-26

Today was the start of my "week"
15 min of turkish get-ups. Whoo-hoo did 2 of them with the 35. And didn't have to strain as hard with them!

325 swings out of 1,500 (plus 25 extra a day to make up for the ones I didn't do last week)
These swings have been really tough on me for some reason. It's all I can do just to get through them! But I did!!!

I know that every once in awhile there are days when your workout sucks and today was one of those day for me.

10 min Turkish get-ups

200 swings

Needed to do 325 but just could not muster up the strength to do it today. Will need to make them up tomorrow. I start 1,500 swings for the week tomorrow. I WILL be up to it!!!

Friday Aug 20th

Was totally inspired by Sofia today. She is amazing. Made me feel a little inadequate but I know not to compare! Also having my daughter there today made my concentration level a little less than normal. Oh well.....I am glad that I at least got to get in a great workout!

50 swings

50 push-ups (had to do most of them the wussy girly way. But did more boy ones than I normally do)

50 ring-rows

50 swings

50 swings

50 knees to elbows

50 presses… Continue

Todays workout kicked my butt....I am feeling jello-legged.

21 thrusters-each arm
21 assisted pull-ups

15 thrusters each arm
15 assisted pull-ups

9 thrusters-each arm
9 assisted pull-ups

Oh and turkish get-ups as a warm-up. Did my last one with the 35 again today. Felt good!!!

10 Rounds of:
5 presses each L/R-all with the 26lb. (YEAH!!)
5 assisted pull-ups on #6
5 Goblet Squats with the 18lb.

Not bad considering the ol back has been on the tweakish side lately. Ready to be me again!

3 Presses (L/R)
5 K2E
8 Goblet Squats

Tried to press that menacing 35 and it is still eluding me......I WILL CONQUER IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

8-3-10

Ran 1.5 miles today. It's been 8 weeks since I have gone running. Felt great. I really think that it's because of the kettlebells that I could go and run even after it's been a while!
