HEAVY TRAINING BEGINS

We started our powerlifting training this week. Not sure when I plan on making it to my first meet. Hopefully soon! Not going to rush it. It has been a long time. Tuesday we benched. I'm pretty happy with the outcome. Finished out at 275. Today we did box squats and wrapped it up at 385. I figured that is a good starting point since I haven't squatted since high school(10 years).

Capital 10K

KETTLEBELLS ROCK!!! I went to Austin this weekend for some family time and to do the Capital 10K. We've started a yearly tradition with the inlaws. Last year we walked it and this year I wanted to run as much as I could. The only training I have done to get ready for the run has been kettlebells (http://www.lonestarkettlebell.com/). I managed to run about 4 of the 6.2 miles with my knee being the only reason not to run more (downhill running no bueno). I should have some guns up pics soon.
