Random Thoughts

  • This workout was absolutely brutal and a gut check as much as it was a physical test.  I gave it everything to shave 3 minutes off my best time.
  • My next long cycle clean and jerk heavy day goal will be to perform 2,4,6,8 x 1 / 2,4,6 x 4 ladders.
  • Time between ladder will resume at 3 1/2 minutes

Total workout time - 24 minutes – (shaved 3 minutes off last heavy day)

Before entering into a fitness routine, especially one that incorporates kettlebells, be sure to consult with your physician or medical professional to be sure you are healthy enough to begin a strength and conditioning regimen.  Be sure to learn the proper way to perform each lift and complete each exercises in strict form employing a spotter when applicable.  In other words, if you hurt yourself, it’s your fault.
