KB's give you WINGS...

 
Yeah,that yellow handle java @ 7-11 DID lift me off the ground...

my first "long set"-68 reps in 8 mins.

So,i was BEAT from the previous day's arm workout,my forearms were already sore from over training,i had no more than 4 hrs. sleep any night for the last 7 nights,but,Hell,
why not lift for my first long KB test?
With ' coach counting and videotaping,i cranked out my reps.Not the prettiest,especially at the end,but,the sense of accomplishment i felt was well worth the sore 'pins i had.
The "gift" of Russian KB training is,without question,a greater sense of SELF..
patience,humility,grounding,centering.
My 2 12kg Kettlebels were HALF the weight a real competitor my size would use,but hey,
I could not feel more jacked about starting here,cleanly,with nothing but the road ahead..
BTW,"tearapie"="Courage"

check your EGO at the door...BUT....

Hey,ego DOES go a long way as i venture down the road of the GS Russian KB lifter..
Last night i hit a new PR,as i was able to crank out 8 mins. of hard-core 'swingin
Hefting 2 26lb. kettlebells between my legs,then up and overhead 8 times a minute.. That may not SOUND like a big deal,but for me,it was virgin territory!
The shoulder i screwed up earlier in the day was not a problem,and i left the gym feeling 1000% better than when i showed up!

my dog won't eat!!!

Poor Chester:
eggs,chicken,cheese NADA..
