My workout log for the last 17 years. Every workout that I have done since February of 2007 is listed here. I decided to move my training log from a notebook to online and needed a name for the URL. I was training with mostly Kettlebells back then, thus the name - Kettlbellrob.

I Am Back...
I got back from Dallas last night and hope to do Jerks today from Return of the Kettlebell. I did Viking Push Presses on Tuesday but had to use 35lb dumbells instead. I took yesterday off. I will post my training later after I complete it.

Rob, First off...very impressed with you snatching two 32kg KBs before your presses! How do you feel about the "off-set" weight snatches prior to pressing. I just read ROTK and plan on starting but feel a bit concerned on the tourque placed on the low back with a 32 and 16kg bell being snatched and the possibility of rotation that can be placed upon the core.
I've been following you blogs and man you are "killing it!" I hope I can do the same. Talk soon
Thanks Rick. It is a commitment and a bit svcary sometimes. My form is pretty good but not perfect. I am decreasing the time right now and feeling stronger but it will be interesting as I add some more volume. I do not know how far I can go at 165lbs. I have gained strength and added muscle while leaning out at the same time. I do would like to gain about 10 more pounds but at 5 ft 8 in I look stupid over 175lbs.
The offset weight snatches actually feel pretty good if you concentrate on bringing the bells up evenly. Switching back and forth the bells evens out the load and there does not seem to be a probelm with back instability.
The cleans and jerks make the oress block feel like a breeze!
I HIGHLY reccomend this program and Kenneth Jay's MVO2 no matter what any one else says.
