Why must a brutha be hatin' on the swings?

I am interested in hearing your observations re: bent presses vs. windmills.

Is all of the above with the 53? May I suggest using the Widowmaker for the swings, at least? The more you move it the less it feels like an asteroid.

They're formidable. I consider them essential, and I do them every time I pick up a kettlebell. I just don't enjoy them at all.

Yeah, you're right. I'll swing the big one next time. Ugh.

Um... I'm afraid that the giant head of Christ saying "could you be more... specific?" is from "THX-1138."

The reason that swings suck so bad (especially after I fix them, heh heh) is that unlike with cleans or even snatches, you don't get any rest.

You

can't

Shoot, I was so busy dissing your lack of knowledge of dystopian scifi that I forgot to be more... specific.

How do you feel that BPs compare to windmills? Easier? Simpler groove? Harder/weirder?

I'ma chime in anyway, bitch.
Windmills are cake, I need more sidepresses, witness please the injury to my back yesterday. It came from the hip kicking out because of lack of abdominal strength, tight core is needed, that's obviously.

Deep (stand on box) one-arm DLs are the start of good oblique stability work. Can do them with the 53, the 70, or both at once. Or a bar. The benefit comes from standing up as straight as if you weren't lifting lopsided at all.

Also Saxon Side Bends, but start LIGHT!!! As in, 5-7# per arm.
