Notes

Had a text war with Matt on whether or not kettlebells "build strength."  Too late to post the details, but I'll write my thoughts on it all later.

I will say pressing the 70lb'rs was pretty fucking hard.  My core was shuddering.  Pressing 140lbs in the form of two kettlebells is much, much harder than a straight barbell.  Harder does not always mean better for the purposes of strength.

I think I cleaned the double 70s for 33ish reps total.  I have  a feeling my ass will be sore.  I'd be interested to see if I get up the point where I'm in the 100 rep zone for double 32kg cleans.  In fact, I'm kind of thinking about doing "the great kettlebell experiment" and attacking these fuckers to see how much mileage I can get out of them.
