Comrades,

 

I have been on Vacation down the Jersey shore for about a week now.  What's your training like while on vaca?  I'm down in Sea Isle City and the good thing is there is a gym on 39th street Surfside fitness who actually has about 6 kettlebells in the corner of the gym.  I brought two 16kilo bells and a 24kilo bell for my own training.   

 As I Stated on the RKC forum I have been sticking to the basics, Swings, the TGU and Pullups.  I have been really slowing down the TGU and trying to work on opening up my T-spine and not letting my bent leg cave in as I go to my forearm.  Sometimes, that is all I will do, alternating sides.  The Swings, I have gone back to the static stomp deadlift, focusing on building tension and rooting.  In between I will focus on walking on the balls of my feet as we did in Level II.  Then I will apply to the swing, WOW!!  it makes a huge difference.  

Pullups- I think a lot about the pullup even before I place my hands on the bar.  Once my hands are on the bar, I tighten my glutes, legs out in front head straight ahead, eyes up.  Once I pull the bar down to my chest, I think about staying close to the bar and driving my elbows back.  I swear I almost went right into the ceiling!!!!  amazing stuff, thanks Pavel. 

 I have not done any workouts on the beach yet. Maybe later in the week. I will keep you posted.
