Hardline

Now that the combined total of my age and weight is under the completely arbitrary figure of 200... it's staying there until I'm eligible for AARP.

Period.

thats a unique method of goal setting - but if it works, it works! I just finished up a fairly grueling kb circuit involving entirely too many snatches - oh well.

I was reading the copy of Pavel's book that xany loaned to me, and there are some conflicting training regimens in there - at one point, it says you shouldn't be able to do more than 16 reps (if so, the KB is too light and you need more of a challenge), but at another, it says to do two sets of 25 reps (or more). admittedly, these were suggested by different parties (pavel & the soviet military, respectively), so it seems like you can pretty much do whatever you want.

for instance, because i'm finding it hard to do bent or lateral presses while standing, i'm working that motion for my arms by laying on the floor and pressing from my shoulder, so that i can get that part of my delt & lat up to speed, and work on my core flexibility separately.

the number of reps really is based on what you're trying to do.

1-5 reps at super heavy weight is good for building muscle.
10-15 reps at moderate weight is good for building strength.
15+ reps at light weight is good for speed, power, and endurance. (and building strength without a lot of added muscle mass)

Hey, go you. I'm glad things are working out (pun sort of intended) for you. And yeah, go kettlebells. They do rock.
