Workout Journal

Hiked the stairs again with the 35 lb kettlebell.  Managed to get from my place all the way to the first bench at the peak of the stairs at a good pace without stopping.  At the top of the stairs I started the first of 5/6 sets I planned to do on the way down.  Starting from the top and stopping every 2-3 minutes I did the following:

35 2-hand swings x 2 sets
15 snatches each arm x 2 sets
Goblet squats 1 set of 25

I also stopped near the base to test my pullups.  I did 5 pullups from a dead hang.  1 more than a few days ago and at the end of a pretty good workout to boot.  I think I will be able to do 10 pullups soon!  I am going to try and learn the pullup kip that they do in Crossfit.  It looks like it will give you a bunch more reps but the technique looks tricky!  Regardless, very happy to be able to do 5 good pullups when I couldnt hand from the bar for more than 5 seconds without pain for the past 20 years!
