Comments:
Um. OWWWW. Goblet squats SUCK.
but first ... pullups #2 AND #3!! so #1 was not a fluke! Woo hoo!

And now back to the evil that is goblet squats. oh boy. i think these might have to have knock down drag out fight with burpees to decide who's more sadistic.

I have never in my life had a workout where i looked forward to pushups, and in fact, wished that there were MORE pushups. Until tonight. I will even admit to deliberately lingering over my pushup - becase it was an extra few seconds I wasn't holding a kettlebell.

The swings actually went pretty well - I don't think i ever got through them in fewer than 3 sets, but they were all well above eye level and many of them were fully overhead. I just had to rest and wait for my hip drive to regenerate.

The goblet squats were killer. I think they're a great exercise for working exactly the thing I need to work - more powerful squats - but man are they hard. I found a great way to get the bell into position was a SDHP, and while the bell is weightless, just change the grip. It was just keeping it there, and maintaining the lower lumbar arch that were "tricky". I know my lower back is going to be irritated with me for the next day or two. Back squats tomorrow should be interesting.
