Hey KB we have had a hell of a month, past weekend was out of town for our youngest Cheer competition. Had to catch up today, then I get to travel to Arizona at noon. So I will be doing catch up again Friday when I get back. yes catch ups sucks very, very much. [/quote]

Good to hear from you! I’ve had a busy month, too - but it was mostly good for vacation. The week after has been rough with trying to get re-organized and back into things.

Safe travels - and OUCH, in advance for when you return! :slight_smile:

kettlebells are the devils plaything.

Well maybe that explains why I took on this goblet squat challenge; I’ve been called “evil” on more than one occasion. Apparently, the bad side of my Gemini self is trying to bust out…mwahahahaha! :slight_smile:

Friday almost healed from the surgery just going to start back Monday on upper body

Warm up 400 meter run, dislocates, Push ups (wrist held up), foam roll

53 KB X 20 X Goblet Squats
400 meter run

Both of you (kbgal and you) are doing great in the tenacity you guys are showing on the Goblets.

Thanks Fisch plus I hope to gain some size on my thighs.

Hi! I just noted the other day that my legs are changing in a good way from all of this extra squatting. :slight_smile: (Rick - thanks.)

Nice job this morning big D, those goblets are a great exercise IMO. Rebel Race in Dallas in August…you up for it? Gonna be a hot one for sure.

Never heard of that one, can I google it or do you have a link?

Are you running it?

My Son-in-law and daughter are, I’m still thinking about Dallas in August.

Lol I found it and posted it on FB to our lifting/running group. Got to die from something I guess.

Thanks Led, Dday posted one for a zombie run in Austin in December.

    Glad to read your surgery went well. I’m most impressed with 10 rounds of 400 meter runs. You must in great shape. I read somewhere Dan John said the toughest workout was front squats supersetted with 400 meter runs.

I am getting there Eco, a year ago I could not have run 400 meters without oxygen and someone to put an AED on me. Now I can run 3-4 miles easy at 8-9 min miles. Which is not great but at 230 pounds not bad I think.

LOL, haven’t done them in a while, but agreed on the OH KB squat!

Sounds like Saturday was the day to work the goblets in throughout the session; I did 160 during the course of regular KB class and called it done for the 60 that day, even though it was broken up a little instead of one set straight through. :slight_smile: Will get the 62 for today later…

That’s what she sa… Ah never mind.

I tried trapbar deads supersetted with a 50 yard run/jog on Saturday after reading what you’ve been doing. What a joke. Totally got my ass handed to me. I’m even more impressed with what you’ve doing now.
