NO CLASS WEDNESDAY MAY 19th

There will be no class this Wed, May 19th. I will be in St Paul at a kettlebell workshop.

Wednesday

Tonight was another great class. Reviewed the snatch. Just like anything, it will get better with time and practice. There were definitely some good reps by all tonight. Now it will just be a matter of getting all reps to be good. I have no doubt it will happen soon. Everyone listens very well and has been working very hard.

Worked some more with double KB's. We did a building set. Did one lift, rest, same lift and added one, rest. Kept going until we were doing 6 straight lifts. Everyone was pretty winded by the end.

Great Job Class!

Doubles

Tonight the class was introduced to a few double KB lifts. We worked the double swing, clean, and press. The swing and clean really got their heart rate up.

Next we worked the snatch for the first time. I was very impressed with how good everyone did for their first time. Definitely will need to keep practicing, but it won't be long and they will all have it.

To finish the evening we did timed sets. We broke down the get up into several parts and worked them for time. After we did both R/L, we did a set of timed swings before moving onto the next part of the get up.

All in all, great work by everyone.

Monday in class we started to learn the clean. It will take some practice, but it won't be long. Continued to work on the swing and get up.

Tonights Class

Tonight was the first class. It went very well. Victims learned the deadlift, swing, get-up, and the goblet squat. Monday classes will continue

FREE CLASS
