27 Oct 07 Kettlebell training with Ken Blackburn of Extremeathletics

by adam on October 27, 2007

Started off with some box squats off an 18″ box
185×3, 205×3, 225×3

10 minute jerk with 16kg
First 3 minutes with 2, then dropped down to one bell switching hands every minute

Over head wall squats with JS band. I need to arch more at the bottom of my squat. I can really feel where the brakes are at, and this has been recommended to fix it.

Snatch with 16kg
2 minutesL, 2 minutesR, one minute L, one minuteR

Push/pull drills with a 40kg

GS is no joke. If you are not doing it you are missing a tremendous aid to your strength-endurance and power. Going 10 minutes with a 36lbs weight and not setting it dow does not sound like much if you have never tried it, but i will bet it will humble you the first time you try. Ken and Steve Cotter have been giving me advice and training information and i will make this in to a strong suit for me.

10 minutes of anything is tough. Are you planning on competing in GS? Or are you using it as a conditioning tool to compliment your other training goals?

Nice training sessions!
