I'll be glad when all this candy is out of the house (well I'll be sorta sad too). Because then we can start thinking about Turkey!! OK, enough about food. Let's get on with today's workout. In the spirit of Enter the Kettlebell, I am trying to keep the Light-Medium-Heavy Day cycling throughout the week. Therefore on Mondays I'll be Snatching with the 16kg (Light), Wednesday will be Swings with both the 16kg and 24kg, and Fridays will be Swings with emphasis on the 24kg (until I get something bigger). Oh yeah, and I'll be doing Clean & Presses each day as well, but those will be focused on building strength with the 24kg. So here's what today's session looked like...
Warmup of 2-Hand Swings and Halos:
8kg - 30 swings; 5/5 halos
16kg - 20 swings; 5/5 halos
24kg - 20 swings; 3/3 halos
Clean & Presses:
16kg - 5/5
24kg - 2/2, 1/1, 2/2
Weighted Pullups:
15lbs - 3, 3, 3
1-Hand Swings:
16kg - 20/20, 15/15, 10/10
24kg - 10/10, 10/10, 10/10
Daily totals:
70 2-Hand Swings for 2288lbs
150 1-Hand Swings for 6336 lbs
Total poundage 8624 lbs
Gotta go, time to put on my costume... possible pics tomorrow....

Keep picking away at the 24 like that and you'll be pressing it for easy reps before too long.
Do you clean the bell for every press, or do you clean once and then press for multiples?
Your pullups are strong, too. Most people just don't do these at all, and you're adding weight. Awesome!
Thanks Aaron. Yes, I'm cleaning before each press. I may start to skip the cleans with the 16kg starting next week since these are getting lighter now, but continue to clean each rep with the 24.
That's good to hear. Some people clean once and then just press for multiples. Cleaning each time is definitely more taxing, especially as the reps go higher, but it makes it a whole-body movement.
