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!
