Getup and Swing

Not the easiest thing in the world getting in these workouts when outside forces are fucking with you.  I'm not gonna slow down, it's better just to grind through the workouts and keep my mind on the movement of the bell.  I do not know how people go an entire lifetime without being committed to some sort of regular workout routine.  It's a lifesaver for me.

Today I was working on 8's.  10 rounds of 8 left side / 8 right side in the one-arm swing and 8 Getups.

I did one-arm swings for 5 rounds of 8/8 on the 2nd minute for strength and 5 rounds of 8/8 on the minute for conditioning.  I used the 24 kg bell for all of these sets and it's finally feeling manageable.  Even the rounds done on-the-minute felt easy and I'm looking forward to finishing off 9/9 and 10/10 next week.

I also did 8 rounds of kettlebell getups.  My strength level is going through the roof on this exercise.  6 weeks ago there is no way I would of considered doing a 24 kg getup on my left side but today I hit a PR of 4 rounds with the 24 kg, BOTH SIDES :).  I used the following weights:  12 kg x 2 rounds, 16 x 1, 18 x 1, 24 x 4. 

There are people out there who claim to have gained a ton of muscle doing just kettlebell getups and I no longer doubt these stories.  My triceps are showing in spots they never did before and all of the little connector muscles are popping out of some amazing spots on my body.  It's like my muscles are growing muscles.
