I am back on my double bottoms up training block this week and it has been pretty cool so far. I had to go to Rapid Results and use Betsy's 28kg kettlebells because I don't have any yet. I wanted to try double bottoms up cleans to squats with the 28kgs because the 24's were getting pretty easy! Oh what a difference the extra 8 kgs makes for doing doubles. Cool thing is I was able to perform 4 sets of 2 with the double 28's. When I started using the 24's, I could only do sets of 3.
So here was Friday's workout:
TGU w/ 32kg: 10/10 no rest
Dbl BUC to Squat w/ 2 28kgs: 2, 2, 2, 2
Dbl Cleans w/ 2 32kgs: 10, 10, 10, 10!!!
1/2 kneeling Waiter's press w/ 32kg: 5/5 x 4
Deadlift w/ 2 32kgs: 5, 5, 5, 5
All in all, I was pretty happy. Now I have to procure a pair of 28kgs...
Maybe our new DVD will help. It should be ready for production this week! Woohoo! Betsy and I are excited. At the very least it should be good entertainment. I'll post when it is ready.

Back to Swings
Well, my two weeks of double kettlebell exercises is over and I'm back to working on Get-ups and Swings again. It's amazing how the first day back into swings has made my arse and hamstrings a little tender. Amazing, but cool.
Betsy and I think we have finished filming for our DVD. I say think because we have not seen the edited version yet. I do know there will be a few funny parts, though not on purpose. That adds replay value, right? Does the camera really add 10 pounds?...
