Some recent training

[ Above is a row of KBs, from 26# to 88#.]

Have been overloaded as of late with professional dealings and personal matters, but here's some KB training sessions I've done to get back in the "swing" of training.

LCC&J only workout
Two 35#/16kg KBs
5 minute set, 10 RPM Pace, 50 reps.

----------------------------------

I will be slowly (and safely) building up my reps, time, pace and volume with te Long Cycle Clean and Jerk of two KBs, which I am still planning on competing with in November. Doing it with a pair of 70# KBs is quite an endeavor, so it will take patience and persistence in my training. It would be very easy to hurt myself by going too hard, too soon.
