I checked my mail this morning and my new bells are on the way. I just ordered them yesterday morning and they will be here tomorrow, awesome. I will now be able to take both 24kg bells with me on my bus trip to NJ. Double training this weekend!

Tonight's session

Nate Black (RKC) came over and brought his new bulldog over. I had him check my snatch form and used the bulldog

C&P 40kg
3x1,2

One arm swings 40kg
3x10/10

Floor presses 40kg/32kg
2x5

The only thing Nate said about form was to keep it tighter on the high pull. I am still working on getting 37/37. For some reason, i fail. I have done 10/10 on the minute for 10 minutes, and also do 5/5 on the minute for 20 minutes. I can even do Steve Maxwell's 20,20,15,15,10,10,5,5. I think it is psychological.

Done

New KBs

I ordered another 24kg and 32kg this morning. This will allow me to actually do some of the routines outlined in MM ebooks i got with my original LifeLine KB. They will be here in 7 days. i just can't wait to do doubles with the same size bells! I think the first one will be MM's full body attack!
