Something other than Shoveling....

Finally got a day in of training something other than shoveling:

Prep work - ASLR, Brettzel
Club swinging (all #1 clubs)
16 kg Get-up ASLR and Shoulder openers
Club swinging
16 kg Get-up x 3+3
Club swinging
16 kg Get-up x 2+2
Club swinging
16 kg Get-up x 1+1 (neck and KB rotations)
Club Swinging
16 kg One Arm Swings 20+20, 15+15, 10+10, 5+5
(continuous)
Little shake and bake and stretch to finish

After a good bit of shoveling it felt good to shake off the kinks and hit some Kalos Sthenos get-ups and Club swinging.

20+ inches of Snow in the Burgh!

4th biggest snowfall ever for Pittsburgh and quite the event - if you like shoveling that is! ;-)

2+ hours of shoveling 20+ inches of snow and some Indian Clubs will be about all I get in today.
Well that and a few more hours of work on the Club Swinging Essentials manual. It's going to be 60+ pages by the time it is done.

Dropping in the pics on my apple with pages and doing a lot of the post production work makes me realize that writing the manual is the easy part!
