From "Enter The Kettlebell" by Pavel Tsatsouline, Page 82: "A passing-by jarhead buddy of his joked, “Are those your legs, or are you riding a chicken?!” Fighting men ride chickens - got a problem with that?" I am not a fighting man but I choose to ride chickens, to be strong and thin. A few months shy of my 57th birthday, I also want to be healthy in every way possible.

Almost home - dumbbell BP and Cossack Sequence
Thursday, July 19, 2012
Still on the road. Decided to use the hotel weight room because it had a bench and dumbbells. Did 3 sets of 5 with 25 lb. dumbbells, 1 set of 5 with 30 lbs. and 1 set of 5 with 35 lbs., each time following the protocol of lowering actively, pausing at the bottom and exhaling and feeling a maximal stretch, then pressurizing and coming back up strong. My left shoulder gets very tight and I needed those three sets of get it moving properly before going to heavier weights.
Finished with a good Cossack sequence, focusing on good form and spending a nice, long time in the hip flexor stretch position, making sure flute was tight on stretching side.
