Jim vs. Kettlebell Grace

This was pretty brutal.

“Kettlebell Grace”
Kettlebell (53lb) clean and jerk x 30

I haven’t done this one with this weight in a year, and it showed. I finished in 4:09, almost a minute slower than last time, and it wrecked me. No joy, here.

Jim vs. Kettlebell Grace

Almost didn’t work out today at all. Instead I did this for the first time in fourteen months.

“Kettlebell Grace”
Kettlebell (53lb) clean and jerk x 30

Finished in 3:22, twelve seconds behind my previous time.

Jim vs. Running, KB Clean & Jerk

Took two rest days after doing squats and deadlifts back to back. Then did this:

3 rounds for time of:
400m run
KB clean & jerk x 10 (35lbs)

Finished in 10:45, sucking wind.

Jim vs. Kettlebell Overhead Complex & Dangling From The Bar

Did not want to work out today. Somehow I decided that this complex, of my own devising, was a compromise.

1 KB Press + 1 KB push press + 1 KB push jerk
53  (right hand)
53  (left hand)
53  (right hand)
53  (left hand)
53  (right hand)
53  (left hand)
53  (right hand)
53  (left hand)

Things got really rough on the last set, especially with the shoulder press. My left arm does not like the KB press.

Then I decided not to be done.

Without letting go of the bar:

1 deadhang pull up 
1 kipping pull up 
1 toes to bar 
1 knees to elbows

Rest 30 seconds

Do a set of 2 of each movement

Rest 30 seconds

Do a set of 3 of each movement

I did about as well on this as I did last time: got through one round, one rest, second round, 5-10 seconds into the second rest.
