EKG Kettlebell Test

Ran thru EKG KB Test#1
Using a 16kg, I scored 76.
Butt kicker. I started off too strong/too fast and lost some numbers in the final rounds as I was more gassed than the starting rounds.

Life interrupted + ETK: RoP

One of those crazy Days...
6AM KB class went well. I tortured them with John Wolf's EKG Bodyweight #1 Pre-Test, then had them do (5) 2-rung ladders, followed by :30/:30 snatches for 9 min.

Go to work and chaos has setup shop. Minimal Lunch, minimal time seated. go, go go!
Got home late and decided to do my C&P Medium day, but I did not add the Swings & Snatches like I normally do.

If I jam too hard at night, I can't sleep. So for today, 32kg 5x5 C&P.

See ya!

EKG Bodyweight Test + "Easy" C&P day

So far I really like John Wolf's Evolution Kettlebell Groundwork DVD. For those that practice martial arts, especially ones with floorwork, you'll like this. Most of the moves are done with a relatively light weight (12kg, double 12, some 16, etc..) but since you are in unique ground positions, these sizes are challenging!


Today was just a bodyweight pretest. I used it as a warmup, and it felt great. My hips really opened up thanks to the shinboxes and the sprawls.

Now I just need work to settledown enough that I can make it to my martial arts dojang so I can use some of these!


EKG Bodyweight Pretest, Level 1

8 rounds of tabata for each:
Shinbox Hip Extension: 3
Spinal Rock: 7
SL Kick+DL: 3
Mt Climber Sprawl: 5
Total: 18
Needed number to attempt KB Level 1 from EKG DVD: 18! Whew!

Now that I am warmed up, time for my "Easy" Clean & Press day... w/ 28kg
1,2,3 Ladder (oops, shoulda been 2 rungs lower than Hard day (4-2=2)

Took a little tweaking to figure out 50%...In the end, I matched 4 reps on each side for :30sec total. Rested 30sec. Repeat...
Total Reps: 66

Hard Clean & Press

So last week I decided to drop the 28kg C&P ladders because I was stalled at 4-rungs.
Per ETK I should use a bell that I can press 5-8 times, which I cannot really do on my left side with a 32kg, but I dont have an interim bell, so I said, screw it! Lets see what happens.
So I cannot quite make 3 full rungs w/ the 32kg. I did give it the old college try. In the end I needed to take a page fromt he 'How to press a heavier Bell' bonus section of ETK and used my off hand to 'assist as little as possible' the pressing side.

Below is my routine. I think I will go back to the 28kg for next weeks Hard day and see how I do with 4-rung ladders. I am hoping I shocked my system enough to get a strength bump.

Hand Care

So sooner or later you will probably end up with some callouses. Typically you get them when you overgrip, when you use your palm to decellerate (control) a heavier bell, or from not having a good hip-hinge/hip-snap. With practice these 'mistakes' will go away.

BUT, you need to stay on top of your callouses. If you dont, they will tear, which hurts. A lot. Torn up hands mean no bell work. We cant have that!

Below are 3 items I use for callous control.
The first is a simple glycerine-based, non-oily, hand lotion. (Corn Huskers Lotion) It is said to have skin toughening properties to it. I like it because its cheap and seems to do the job. And it doesnt smell like a flower garden. You can get it for a few bucks at walmat.
http://www.amazon.com/Pfizer-Consumer-Healthcare-Huskers-Lotion/dp/B0015TI8VS/ref=sr_1_3?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1315574793&sr=1-3


Next is a ped egg. Looks like a cheese grater, but not painful at all to use.
http://www.amazon.com/Pedicure-Foot-File-Colors-vary/dp/B00113FENI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1315582793&sr=8-1




Finally, if you have some serious callous work to do, the tweezerman safety razor is great. But be careful, its possible to dig too deep and cut tender skin.




After a bath, doing dishes, or a gentle warm water soaking, let your hands dry off an rehydrate, say, 10-20 mins. (If you try to work on them too soon, you runt he risk of cutting too deep.)
Use the ped-egg or safety razor and file the callouses down as best you can. Then apply some hand lotion.

In your training, focus more on your hip-snap, and your hip-hinge and keeping the bell in the hook of your fingers, rather than at the base where your palm and figners meet. 

Looking for a stronger grip? 
Try 20-30 1-handed swings with a heavy bell for 5-10 sets.
So heavy is a relative term, but for me currently, 88#'s or more is needed to tax my grip. And it doesnt happen until the 3rd set or later. By the end of these sessions I am lucky if I can do 10 swings before setting it down to shake off the pump. I found this out while doing the Program Minimum from Enter The Kettlebell.



Another grip trainer, long (50' is good.) farmers walks with a heavy bell. This seems to develope general strenght and endruance. It will have carry over to your swings, though it is a different kind of challenge. do this one outside, in case you need to dump the bell.

Easy day, plus playing around w/ new exercises

Deadlifts. Pretty much have zero experience w/ deadlifting olympic bars. So today i found the rack empty.
Did a few reps @ 135, and few at 225. Cool, not bad for first time.

Also did my first weighted pullup w/ a 20kg bell on my foot. 2 reps. Again, not bad for my first time.

32kg C&P's

I have been training with a 28kg, but I seemed somewhat stalled on my heavy days. I am suppsoed to do 5 sets of 4-rung ladders. No problem on the first set, but I kept finding myself only able to do 3-rung ladders after that.

So today I decided to try a different approach, switch to a 32kg bell. My goal was to do 5 sets of 3-rung ladders, but became apparent I was not quite ready for that, so I did the following instead.

(32kg each side )
Set 1: 1,2,2
Set 2: 1,2,1 then 1 push press
Set 3: 1,2,1, then 1 assisted press (see ETK Bonus material)
Set 4: 1,2

No more juice, time to call it a day...

28kg Swings (medley of 1h, hth, and DARC swings)
106reps in 5min, resting as needed.

Aarons complex & swimming

Today was a fast day (needed to cleanse after my 2 week vacation with less than optimal food choices.) So my energy level was not very high today.

Some light swimming earlier in the day, then some kb complexes.

RKC Aaron Pierson sent me a complex to play with (using double 20's)

10 DSW
10 DSN
10 DCL&P
10 DSquats
10 deadlift+Burpees
10 Pushups

Felt good, all in all. I was a little worried about the dsn right after dsw, but i managed it well. Definitely took rests through-out.

Variety Day - Tacfit and a 5k

Today was more or less a day off/variety day in my training regime.
After a week of working on my press w/ the 28kg bell I decided I wanted to try a 32kg press.

Military Press
28kg 3/3
32kg 1/1

Today was not really meant to be a 'weightlifting' day, so I left it at this.
I have pressed the 32 in the past, so this was no real feat or PR for me, but it felt good and the 32 is feelin lighter than it ever has. My goal is to do double 40kg C&P on my 40th birthday. I have 6 months to go, but I suspect I will hit this PR much sooner.

After that I did the Recruit level of Tacfit Warrior.
This is a bodyweight program that is geared more around dynamic movements similar to martial arts/military conditioning, rather than raw strength building (like Convict Conditioning, which is also a terrific program.)

The system uses a tabata timing pattern for each 4min movement. I did this w/ a medium intensity/speed.
Spinal Rock
Monkey Front Lunge
Plank Pull
Rear Sit Thru Press
Sit Thru Extension (my students hate these!)
Shinbox Kick.

All told, its about an 30min program and you control the difficulty by upping or lowering your intensity/speed.
I will be starting this program full time next week so this was just a regrooving of the movements so its fresh in my mind.

If you want to see what you an achieve with Tacfit style of programming, check out these vids:

Still feeling good and  a little antsy, I did a 5k run. This was probably my fist run in several months.
I utilize the Chi-Running method, which is very easy on the joints and feet. I wore my minimalist vivo-barefoot shoes and had no issues. I look back and think about all those crazy super-"supportive" running shoes I used to buy  and have to laugh at myself. My new shoes are no cheaper than the old ones, but my fit and knees dont hurt anymore.

Here's a vid explaining ChiRunning

Updates + Sissy Challenge...

Been a bit out of sorts lately, what with the fire. evacuations, etc..
Fortunately Joy and Lorilee came over Friday & Saturday to apply some much needed pressure to get me back into the swing of things...

Like most guys I work harder when there are women around who are stronger and faster than me.

Today's solo session was from Shane Englands RKC's 'The Edge Sissy Test Invitational '

Official Sissy Test Instructions:

Step 1:Start the timer

Step 2: Perform 25 burpees (If you do not know how to do a burpee, shame on you, and please do not attempt this challenge)

Step 3: Perform 1 kettlebell swing (If you do not know how to perform a proper kettlebell swing, shame on you, and please do not attempt this challenge). Bell size is your choice, but the weight should be moderate for you as you will be very tired and if your form breaks down Pavel will appear and kick you in the face.

Step 4: Perform 24 burpees

Step 5: Perform 2 kettlebell swings

Steps 6: Continue that pattern until you work down to 1 burpee and 25 kettlebell swings. If you are not smart enough to continue that pattern, then please do not attempt this challenge.

Step 7: Upon completing your 25th swing stop the timer. Note your time and go get a drink of choice.

Enjoy!

myPlate.gov

My response to the US Dept of AGRICULTURE's myPlate.gov...

10+ hrs sleep, KBM Heavy - Week 6! YEA!

Caught up on sleep (4 hrs night prev)... got in at elast 10....feel great.

Did KB Muscle on an empty stomach.
Week 6, 6 rounds w/ double 20's!
Had to throw in extra rests (as always), but I did it!

Now, the hard part, do I continue phase 2 (another 6 weeks, different sequences) or take a break and do something else?

Gotta admit, I'm a little burnt on the program, but maybe resetting and doing phase 2 will seem new and fresh again!?!?

KBM Easy - Week 6

7 rounds with double 20's....

whew!

Monday, May 30, 2011

Intermittant Fast, KBM Meidum week 6, Primal Challenge, No Coffee!?!?!

Went off the Primal/Paleo diet reservation yesterday.
It was my wifes b'day party and I prepared some good meats (brisket, hamburgers, hotdogs) there were a few veggies (not enough, but I was tied up @ the grill) and of course the obligatory cakes and ice creams.

I made a Gluten Free cake for the missus (who is gluten intolerant). I had some of her cake but I also had some of the regular cakes that others brought, and even some ice cream!

Now by and large, when I go off the diet I usually end up with VERY sore joints the next day. Like I feel 20 years older kind of joint pain. This time I didnt, but I wonder if thats because I didnt have as much refined white flour products? Not sure, but at about 7pm last night I decided to do a 24hr fast. Only allowed foods, my morning coffee (sans heavy cream) and water.

Fast forward 21 hours or so later.....
Got home from a trip to Wally-World and realized I still needed to do my Kettlebell Muscle Medium Day.
Gotta tell ya, I was not looking forward to this. I was already feeling a little weak, but I ok'd it with my ego that if I felt really bad or if my form was crap, I was cleared to stop at anytime.

First two sets were good, no need to set the bells down except when proscribed by the program.
Sets 3-7 however necessatated a brief (maybe 30 mississippi's max) in the middle. I just didn't have the juice to do the presses w/o a  brief rest.

But I got all 7 rounds in, so I am very pleased with myself. :o)
I have another 3 hours left in this fast, but I'm going to call it good and have a small protein shake.

Might play around with Scott Sonnon's Tacfit Stress relief routine tonight, or at the very least tomorrow.

Challenge
Starting June 1st,  my students and I are going to do a Paleo/Primal/Whatever Challenge.
The idea is to eat clean/(primal) for 30 days.
I wont be pushing primal/paleo per say to those that don't want to, but I will ask them to eat clean. Basically  if you have to read the ingredient list to tell whats it in, you probably shouldn't be eating it.

This challenge is based off of Crossfit New Englands Paleo Challenge. I made a few tweaks to work with my group and equipment restrictions. Personally, I would like to drop 10#'s of fat....Not weight, but FAT, so we'll see how this goes.

I am giving up my heavy cream (coffee) and am going to REALLY strive to not drink coffee this next month. Nothing wrong w/ coffee on a paleo diet per say, but I have a wicked addiction to it, and I cant help but think that I am driving my adrenals too hard.

See ya in a month!

KBM wk5 - Heeeeeeeaaavvyyy

Is there anything better than putting that final tick mark on a KBM-heavy day?

Test drive of Tacfit Warrior

Scott Sonnon's Tactfit/Warrior bodyweight program.

Did the hard session Friday (yesterday) at lunch.
Recruit level. Not bad, some of the moves are reminiscent of ground fighting, some remind me of kettlebells. Good heart rate, good sweat. Basically 8 movements done to tabat timing.

6 min warmup drills

Workout, 8 sets of 20/10 with 1 min between drills. Appx 28 minutes
RPE: varied between 6-10 depending on drill.


Cooldown drills: 7min

The program is 28 days but I am not ready to tackle it yet (I want to at least finish KB Muscle Week 7)
Format is like this:
No Intensity Day (strain prevention) (RPE: 1-2)
Low Intensity Day (Stress Conversion) (RPE: 3-4)
Moderate Day (same workout as above, but not all out, keep RPE between 5-7)
High Intensity Day (RPE:8-10)

KBM test

so i was curious if i might be using too light of a weight for my KB Muscle program.
I decided to try doing KBM heavy day wih double 24's...

foolish?

maybe, but i had to know...

result, 3 sets, but had to rest a lot, and not just at the end of the sets, but in between.

so, what next? i am going back to double 20's till i am more comfy with the load.
i'll get there soon enough...

I was very gassed. Which means, that's what I should focus on for the RKC (get used to that level of conditioning, because I think I am strong enough for the cert...Its my cardio that needs some love...

32kg 2h-swing 10reps

This was a butt kicker. Really trying to focus on keeping the lat activated. Tough to do w/ such a heavy swing.

Work II: C&P and Pullup Ladders

Planning on using double 20k's but they have not arrived yet. My back was still a little stiff from some bad 24kg double-KB swings I did last week, so I decided to go light and increase the rungs and ladders.

16kg Double-KB Clean &  Press + Pullup Ladders. Goal was 5rungs, 5 ladders.

Actual:
I hit the numbers for the double-kb C&P Ladders, but I was toasted on the pullups. Had to drop numbers and even threw in some chinups.
Pullup Ladder One: 1,2,3,4,5
Pullup Ladder Two: 1,2,2,3,3
Chinup up Ladder Three: 1,2,2,3,2
