Pressing PR

Today was Military Presses only.  I was supposed to do Front Squats but did not feel up to it, will bang em out tomorrow.

I got a personal record today in the press.  My previous best is 5 sets of 5 with the 18 kg bells.  Today I did 2 sets of 5 with the 18.62 kg bells and 3 sets with the 18 kg bells.  What the fuck is a 18.62 kg kettlebell?  It's an 18 kg bell with a 1.5 lb plate taped to one side.  It can be expensive buying pairs of heavy kettlebells, a pair of new 45 lb bells retails for about $150.  I'm experimenting with ways of sticking weight onto these bells so I dont have to buy a new pair.

Feeling good.  Some tight spots in my upper back which I am going to be very mindful of and start using the heating pad on every night.  

edit:  here's some 40 lb bells with a 2.5 lb weight attached by a chain.  Of course it messes with the stability of the bell but it's just too good of an idea to pass up!
