I trained outside on the patio today. Beautiful day and lifted before it got hot. 

I used my 2 new Eleiko 28 kilo (62 pound) kettlebells for all exercises today. The single leg RDLs were a little wobbly unsupported and with 124 pounds in my hands, so I switched to B stance RDLs to give myself some stability.

The clean & squats went like this:

Clean left hand, squat, hand to hand swing to switch bell to right hand, clean right hand, squat, hand to hand swing to get back to left hand. That's 1 rep. So each rep is 2 cleans, 2 hand to hand swings, and 2 squats. This means 6/6 was 12 squats, 12 cleans, and 12 hand to hand swings. It adds up to a lot of little reps and each set took over a minute to complete. I enjoyed it in a way only twisted minds can enjoy twisted things.
