You've come a long way. Your heavy/light reasoning strikes a chord w/ me, since I have been doing "The Art of Stength -Firepower" Workout as my 3 X weekly practice, and subsequently had to use 35lb KB for some of the drills. Before i had been doing "Mike Mahlers KB Solution for size and strength" training, a totally different animal, w/ my two 53lb'rs <BR/><BR/>I've found the faster paced strenght/ endurance pace of "Firepower" doesnt allow me to use 53lb'rs for every drill,:( oh well, I could'nt complet some of your workouts w/ the 53lbrs either. Live and learn. Like in "The 13th warrior" "I cannot lift this (sword)!" Viking Response "Grow Stronger"<BR/><BR/>Life is about growth and adaptation, and you Tracy are a great example of this.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for all your hard work, thanks to Mark too.Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06874330110952059428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6746449661347809966.post-44667347009747833942007-07-05T08:29:00.000-07:002007-07-05T08:29:00.000-07:00... and the fact that my dad was standing right in...... and the fact that my dad was standing right in front of me telling me (I'll censor this) that I <B>better</B> make this work!

So- whereas I had been training with the one 12k KB that I owned at the time, thinking that I would be in the weight class to use that- I was wrong. Not only had I never snatched a 16k KB- I had never picked one up and no one had explained to me the invaluable concept of power from your hips. Now I HAD to snatch it right then and there having never even touched one. I managed to muscle my way through all the snatches I had to do (which doesn't seem like much now). But, at the time I remember thinking "this can't be too much harder." It was<B> totally</B> different than what I was used to feeling with my 12k and attribute my completing this 1st "requirement" to force of my own will.Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04496081938564704809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6746449661347809966.post-77269976717812324112007-07-02T11:02:00.000-07:002007-07-02T11:02:00.000-07:00Christine, I hope to be mapping out my plan fot t...Christine, I hope to be mapping out my plan fot the next 3 months....diet and training.Tracy Reifkindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07868257020358013257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6746449661347809966.post-13146730052430685182007-07-02T10:59:00.000-07:002007-07-02T10:59:00.000-07:00Fawn, I'm excited at some new training goals I've...Fawn, I'm excited at some new training goals I've made for myself, I particularly dig this Max V02 training.<BR/><BR/>I've decided, also, to replace everyother squat workout with lunges instead.
