The flow of this session is awesome.  I think it would be a great one to fall back on, when you don’t feel like coming up with a new program for the day.  This is strength and cardio in one – beautiful.

Right hand:  single hand swing, single hand clean, front squat, military press.  Do this up to five times and then do the same with the left hand.  Rest and repeat.

I had been doing this with the 10kg kettlebell and had planned to do the same today.  After the first round, I decided to try it with the 12kg bell, knowing I might have to reduce the reps or number of rounds. (My shoulders are (one of) my weak spot(s) and presses with the 12kg have been a struggle.)  To my surprise, I was able to complete the session with the 12 with no modification at all. 

 YES!!! 

I think I’m seeing the benefit of the Turkish Get Ups.  I know that the press was easier because the preceding movement was a squat, and that my legs helped power the bell up.  However, it was a huge step forward and I am psyched!

That’s what I love about strength training -seeing rewards for your hard work. 

Wise words bring many benefits, and hard work brings rewards. Proverbs 12:14
