Training 5/29/08 - That's more like it...

Prep work:
20kg Halo x 5+5
20kg Goblet Squat x 5
Thoracic Rotation
ASLR
20kg Get-up x 3+3
20kg Bottom up Get-up x 2+2

VO2 Max 20kg x 7 reps per 15 sec. x 50 sets
(actually 52 sets in 25:45 - must have missed writing down two sets but the clock doesn't lie!)

This was more like it - a much stronger Cardio response and workload.

Feeling good!

    Brett,
    I love your choice of moves!!! I have been in a similiar place (training wise) as you are now...and yes I completely concur smaller kb's can still pack a punch and take your lunch!!!
    question: I am not sure what the goblet squat is...i think you hold the kb at the bell??? i am not sure ..can you describe it?? thanks, alan

    Alan,
    Try this link for a basic description but I will try to post a couple of pics in the next couple of days ...

    thanks for the feedback on the workouts - you never really "out grow" a KB.

    Thanks Rif,
    I hope I adapt by getting into better shape ;)
    Seriously - I am going to head for the 24kg after a few more 20kg sessions - should be fun.

    ouch, better you than me with the 24 for set sof 7 or more. the 20 for 6's is kicking my butt quite well though it will be nothing for a man of your character :-)
