This morning, the weather gave us a nice little break to come out and get in a good Kettlebell training session. Kettlebells…..a training tool that’s been around in some form for hundreds of years where if no used right can hurt you. I made a music promise and this mornings’ selection was Van Halen(the David Lee Roth years) you can go wrong with that. A little mosey around the school, then a short warm up of Cherry pickers, Helicopters, and Don Quixotes then we were off to the races. The main part was a descending ladder workout(10-1) consisting of 6…

I came on the relatively warm confines of MGHS (AKA the bomb shelter) to find the temperatures approaching a non-sunny 50 degrees, not bad for 1/19. 5 others joined me in a KB workout. I decided due to limited brain capacity to replicate the coupon workout I led yesterday but with kettlebells. I made a couple modifications. COP: DQs, DMH, HRMs, FMs and arm circles. I don’t vary the COPs very much. The FMs did drive a couple of backblasts. Mosey to bus loop. Triple check (we had 6 – awesome): Coupon bench presses, coupon flutters (switched to LBCs) and…

A mix up to the typical boot camp brought 6 weight swinging gents to TwinTeam for some sweet sweet kettlebell action. Multiple sizes and shapes of weights appeared in the gloom for these men to choose from. The beast however, stayed hidden for another time.

First up – Triple Check – Swings, OH Press, and run around the entrance loop. Next up 11s – Sit and Press/OH Tri Press; run a loop in the…
