3/20/15 Friday March 20, 2015 (Training with Kevin - learning the 1H Jerk)

Training with Kevin today, from 7am to 8:15 or so.  Big day as it was time to learn the KB Jerk.  I have been training with KBs for just over 3 years, and never attempted the Jerk.  I was really excited to try this.

We did some warm up stuff, then some arm bars and getups with the 16kg, trying to mobilize the t-spine.  Hanging from the bar.

I basically then worked a number of sets with the 16kg, 20kg, and 24kg bells on the Jerk, by the end basically focusing on the 24kg.  Only 1H, which was going well and no need to bring in the DB Jerk quite yet.  Kevin thought I was picking it up very well.  I was definitely sweating by the end, it caught up to me.  What an outstanding movement, man I am so excited to work on this.  It will be interesting to see how the body reacts to the new movement.  I am expecting some push-back so I will need to stay mobile here for the next few days.
