Bulldog

My new ride.

2005 Mustang GT. The year they changed the Mustang from a "normal" looking car with a big ass engine to this retro American Muscle car look. I love this car. I feel like I'm going fast even when I'm going slow and it fits me to a "T".
Short, thick and all about muscle,lol

I love the short front end; it reminds of a bulldog and was the theme for today's two hand swing workout with the 40 kg bell: The Bulldog.

2 pm
Two Hand Swings
24 kg x 10
28 kg x8
32 kg x 6

40 kg x 5
x 6
x7
x8
x9
x10
This was heavier than it should have been and it took a few reps to get the balance down. then it was fine and it was exactly what I needed to spark even more anabolism and get my size and strength going in the right direction again. Heavy something and today, this definitely qualifed.

I SO LOVE that I can train two hand swings now. This is the most basic of basic swing patterns and it's one powerful move.

alternated with Assisted Pistols
3/3 x 2
4/4 x2
5/5 x1

these actually went well and I found a much better groove than last week. These seem to balance out the hamstring dominance of the swings very well. I usually never like to alternated exercises but I do in this case.

32 kg x10 x 5 sets

these went very well after the B dog, the weight felt light and flew up. good power and bell speed.

alternated with handstands

these felt surprisingly strong. most held for 8-10 seconds. Didn't do the pushups but still used the right leg bent to 90 degrees. this makes it much easier although I really don't know why.

Two Clubbell swings

15 lbs x 10 reps x 5 sets

these were another good balancer for the two hand swings and really tractioned my elbows well. Swing went to 20 degree above parallel.

The car and the kettlebell would go nicely with a Smith & Wesson 627 snubnose.
