Saturday night workout

Done with a 35 lb kbell:

Swings: 4 x 40

Done with a 26 lb kbell

Clean and press: 5 x (1,2,3), 3 x 4
Total: 42 reps each arm

Done with a 26 lb kbell:

Snatches: 1-10-1 ladder
Total reps: 200

It took me 27 minutes to do this and it was very very hard. I started out okay and started taking brief rests by the time I got to 5 reps and did so with each following set of reps. Coming down this ladder was where I took longer because I was already spent in the first 10 minutes.

I also worked out on my balcony for the first time so it was nice.

Swings 5 x 30
High Pulls 2 x 5l/5r

I feel like I've been slacking in my kettlebell training since I didn't work out since Wednesday. I also feel like I've hit a certain plateau. I don't feel like I've been over working out but I did feel like that a bit.

Clean and press 4 x 6l/6r: used a 26 lb kbell
High pulls 4 x 5l/5r: used a 35 lb kbell

I thought since I eventually want to snatch a 35 lb bell, I might as well start getting comfortable doing high pulls with one. I wanted to do 10 reps but didn't feel comfortable at first. I think by the end of doing the high pulls, I was feeling more confident so probably next time.

I hate front squats. I just don't like doing them.
I followed the rkc certificate template but did some variations. I'm also trying to prepare myself for pressing the 35 lb kbell and thought maybe I should increase my volume before I attempt it again.
I also decided to do the half TGU to build up some strength to be able to do the full TGU.
Did I mention that I hate doing front squats?

Secret Service Snatch Test

Greetings all,

Done with a 26 lb kbell:
10 minutes of snatching
Snatches: 10 x 5l/5r
Total: 100 reps

Circuit: swing, clean, press 2 x 5l/5r

I attempted to do the 10 minute snatch test and I didn't really know what to expect but I got 50% of the goal and I've gotten back into kettlebells now for 3.5 months. I think that's alright!

I am sweating a lot and I think I will try to test myself once a month to see if I can hit the 200 mark.

TGU 2 x 1l/1r
Swings: 3 x 40

This was my first time using a 35 lb kbell for the TGU. I had difficulty with keeping my wrist aligned with my forearm as it was bending a bit back due to the increased weight. I kept my reps low since this was my first time trying it out. My form was good with the exception of the wrist.

Clean and press 5 x 5l/5r

I was rather unmotivated to work out today but I had to do something so I kept it simple. I find pressing the 26 lb is still more challenging on my left side. I got my Enter the Kettlebell book yesterday and started flipping through it. I already have the dvd and I think it's always important to pay attention to your form. I eventually want to have some training sessions with a professional but financially now is not a good time as I am saving up to do my trip to Europe.

By the end of the TGUs, I just didn't know if I had it in me to finish this. I thought I could handle doing 40 reps of swings but it was alot and my legs have been thoroughly worked.
