Well I finally received my Pro-Grades(AKC style Kettlebells) in the mail and got them in time for today's workout. I must say it definitely spiced things up with a bit of color. It must have been pretty spicy cause the pain was still there, but I love training with these bells as they move much better with the body than DDs do. With that said I performed a short set of LC with 2 bells and then continued on with my workout. After the entire workout I felt like I can do more because the double bells caught me off guard to how difficult they would be for me so I didn't do a long set. Instead I finished my initial set and then immediately went with one bell to complete the LC set of the day. The workout is as follows.
Workout:
2 Min. LC @ 2x24kg at 3-4 RPM
Then immedately without stopping I dropped to one bell.
4 Min. OALC @ 24kg alternating arms each minute for 6rpm.
3 Min. Double Cleans @ 20kg
RPM was 6
3 Min. Double Jerks @ 20kg
RPM was 11
Then:
3x50 JS @ 45# bar
15 Min. Run
Then:
Stretch
After that, as I said, I felt great so I decided to do just a touch more a couple hours later.
4 Min. Snatch Set @ 20kg at 15rpm
Followed by a quick 2 Min. set of One Arm Swings @ 20kg at 33rpm
This was not my limit, but just didn't want to burn out anything for tomorrow's WOD. This was a fun day playing with my new toys and the journey only continues. :)

Ah yes, but the AKC does have some pretty cool and fun toys. ;D
Nice stuff, Bob. Keep it simple.
How long did it take to get your bells? I'm chompin' at the bit to get a 20kg.
I received mine on Monday and was ready and waitin for the UPS driver to get there so I could crack open the boxes to reveal my new toys to come out and play. ;)
You haven't received yours yet?
I'm hoping today. I plan on having extra pecan pie tomorrow so the 20s will be my "money" bells. Heavy enough to get a good rack, light enough to push the distance.
I'm using the 20's now myself. I still need to get used to 2 bells as I have only really worked with one. Having 2 bells is a whole different animal, BUT I like it. :)
I also ordered an additional 24kg Pr-Grade so when I'm ready I can progress right into them.
