in the very first set....is that richard simmons doing some sort of ghetto step up to your right? :)

Dude, thats a girl. She's some soccer player.

*tsk tsk*

And yes, thats a really retarded step-up.

i'll give you a tsk tsk.

Beginning Thoughts:

I was looking over some of the kettlebell exercises on several websites but then I realized that the lightest kettlebell in my gym is 45 lbs. So I guess I have to build some strength before I do anything. Therefore, I just did the kettlebell exercises with light(er) dumbbells.

Workout:

Overhead Squats:
65 lbs x 3 reps x 5 sets
85 lbs x 3 reps x 3 sets

One Arm Dumbbell Swings:
20 lbs x 15 reps x 1 set

Dumbbell Halo:
20 lbs x 10 reps x 1 set

Dumbbell Seated Figure 8:
5 lbs x 15 reps x 3 sets

Dumbbell Iron Wall with Twist:
25 lbs x 12 reps x 2 sets

Overall Impression:

These "core" exercises killed me. I think I have really improved my overhead squat form. Tomorrow is an off day and then I'm gonna be doing my Press Day.

I hope y'all have a good weekend! :)

I don't think that is is advisable to try to "build strength" and then just go right to 45 pound kb's. You'd want to ask Dave but I think they needed to be treated with more respect than that. It is specific and if you don't have light enough weights, I think it is probably better to either get them or don't do the kb's. Except for movmements that 45 pounds is appropriate...which are probably things you could use a dumbell for anyway.

Again, though, I'd go by what Dave says.
