RKC Exercise Notations (courtesy of Ross Meyer, RKC)

I asked my good friend and mentor, Ross Meyer RKC, to provide me feedback on this blog as well as advising me on "proper" nomenclature for kettlebell exercises.  I have copied the information he provided on exercise notations (abbreviated shorthand) here.  I am using these abbreviations in my training logs.

Here are the short hand notations for our exercises so far:

1/2K-op - half kneeling open (flexed hip adducted to 90 degrees)
