I prefer American. But the 2 pood was quite heavy and I was concerned about control. The best I could do was about 45 degrees above the shoulder.

Thursday 9/2- Colossus
I got the Turkish get ups a little easier this time. My form seems to be improving.
also much higher on the KB swings.
I'm considering for the clean and press to add a squat in there.
Over all, the 2 pood kettle bell is a good weight to work with.

Tuesday 9/7- Sarah picked the work out
20 pull ups
traverse the long wall there and back
20 pull ups
50 'W' sit outs (once in each direction counts as 1)
50 squats w/ round house kick (1 rep is squat left kick squat right kick)
20 pull ups
traverse the long wall there and back
20 pull ups
good work out. I'd like to revisit this one with 30 pull ups as the caps and perhaps another round of 'W' sit outs.
skill work was dyno practice. perhaps we would have been better of starting with this.

Wednesday 9/8- 5.5 miles at Teatown trails. finished under 1 hour
I though of a game to play out on the trails:
Using the logs and stones that are abound perform
a dead lift for 1 point
clean or Zercher for 2 points
Overhead press or Turkish get up is worth 3
squat for an additional point
Overhead squat for +2
you'd have to compete with a friend to push the amount of weight used.
