Been Practicing...

Over the past couple weeks I've been training with Sandbags and of course the Kettlebells. The sandbags were at Josh Henkin's workshop in Scottsdale. It was a great time and I learned a great deal.

Where the k-bells are concerned I've been on track with my Long Cycle practice. I've performed a few 6 minute sets and a couple heavier 28kg 4-6 minute sets. My focus has been on my lockouts and not looking up when I jerk- as seen in the 10 minute video of my previous post.

This past week, and for next week as well, I dropped down to the 16kg bells and really focused on holding my lockouts for at least a one- one thousand count. That definitely makes a difference in the game, but it's been good for me.
