In which I am a good american.

I feel like I spent a lot of money this weekend.. and I did.. for me.
Friday I bought a spanking new 20kg/44lb kettlebell. I put him to work that night:
swings
10/10
1min rest
20/20
ditto
30/30
..
40/40
...
50/50
lay down on the floor and twitch.
I did 3-4 sets of 10, 2 handed clean and jerks with the 20 in one hand and the 16 in the other (switching every 5) Afterwards I nicknamed the 44 pounder "dirty Harry"

Saturday, was a pretty lazy day. No working out. We fired Bank of America for having crappy customer service, and Had dinner with some family.

Sunday, Big squat day:
Ohs 2x5@45
box squats 14" box:
5@135
5@185
3@225
2@275
1@335 (PR) total grinder, but I got it.
My legs still keep selling out my glutes so I have to do a "Good morning" to finish the lift. I have to work on my hip mobility, and get my glute strength up.
After the workout we went to REI and I picked up a new pair of Sanuk shoes.
Sanuks are great because they're a canvas upper on a flip-flop sole. Protection of a shoe, with the freedom of a flop.

Yesterday was heavy uppers:
bench:
5@45
5@95
4@135
2@185
2@185
2@205
2@205

Y-T-Ws

Kneeling ball slams with 12 lb med ball
kneeling ball throws also with 12 pounder.

It's not ideal to do my two heavy workouts right in a row like that, but It had to be done.
I don't really feel all that much the worse for wear for it.
Hope you had a good weekend.
