5 ladders
4 x (2.4.6.8,10)
1 x (2,4,6,8,9) Last rep I got 2/3 of the way. the 9th rep was shaky

This took about an hour. Real gut check. From a conditioning standpoint it was fine. It was the fatigue that set in. I haddone 2 weeks of pressing, making up a workout on my own. Looked up some guy’s workout log on Return of the Kettlebell and have decided to do my version of it. I’m not paying $39.95 for a book with silly Russian cliches and 1/3 of the 120 pages being pictures and advertisments.

Had my 12 year old son working out with me. He was able to do TGU’s with a 15! Then dropped down to a 5 lb. dumbbell for the remaining 4 on each side
I did Turkish Getups with him. He’d do a set of one on each side, then I would to a set of one.
I used my 70 5 reps each side
He then did a complex with the 15. 3 rounds of
3 clean and press on each side, 3 goblet squats, 5 rows each side

Swings 88 lbs. My hands are kind of a mess from last week.
10 sets of 10R,10L, 45 seconds rest in between
5 sets of two hand swings x 20
300 total swings.
