Soooooo impressed Woman!  Great job!!!!I wear bionic gloves when working with kettlebells.  I tried to let my hands be and let them tougen with callasuses, but it didn't work.  Using a heavier bell makes them hurt VERY bad.  So with that said, the sweat doesn't phase me.  And FWIW, you can get Bionic gloves for HALF off right now!  I ordered two more pair.  I'm a sucker for a sale.. (especially clearance).

Got up at 4:00 and did my workouts as planned.  I had a blast!I started off with Cotter's Lower Body for Size and Strength because I knew he'd have a thorough warmup.  There's no music, and he's not exactly Mr. Personality, but he gets the job done.  I only did one of the 3 sequences in his program because he's boring and I'd rather do it on my own to music.  You do:

front squatsgood mornings (hadn't done that one before, fun!)1 legged deadliftbox pistolsracked lungesjump squat (calves)double swingsI decided after that I really needed to do Weber's work instead which does have music and ... oh baby..I think I need to be your Malibu Princess!  I chose first the swing workout - for his stuff you do it once through. 

Swing Workout:10 swings each sidehot potatoes10 high pulls each sidehot potatoes10 snatches each sidehot potatoes10 alternating swingshot potatoes10 cleans each sidehot potatoes

10 clean and presses each sidehot potatoesNext, I did his Leg Burner sequence (damn kettlebells make strength training WAY more fun!)10 overhead squats10 squat kicks (love these!!)10 overhead lunges

10 tactile lunges10 swingws10 body squatsKETTLEBELL QUESTION:  after doing a number of snatch type movements the sweat from my hands rubbed a bit against the iron.  Do any of you chalk your hands?  Steve Cotter does from time to time in his workouts.

Also both men go VERY low in their squats, butt all the way to the floor almost.  I've been taught that that isn't safe so I only go down to 90 degrees.  What do you guys do?I ended with Danny Sullivan's 20 minute kickboxing workout (bag work). 

I'm proud that I got my butt outta bed at 4:00 am and shall do so again tomorrow!

Awesome workout!!!!!! I use a piece of tube sock around the palm of my hand. Like this:http://tracyrif.blogspot.com/2007/07/tracy-rif-sock-sleeve-for-kb-training.html

It works great! You prevent callouses without affecting your ability to grip or move your fingers.(Who decided to do a long walk instead of CLX.)

Hi .....just popped in to read the e-mails and saw your question about squats. I do ATG squats all the time now, with NROLFW I'm doing barbell squats with a total weight of 100lbs, 3 sets of 10, and they are all full squats. I find that its easier on my knees to do full squats rather than parallel squats. I love how strong they make me feel and I've been increasing the weight almost every workout, I only weigh 105lbs so I'm pretty close to squatting my own weight. If you google a guy named Mark Rippetoe you can read about the science of "full" squats. Let me know what you think after you read what he has to say, he has some really good You Tube videos about squats and deadlifts as well. Take care.

Hi Andie!What is NROLFW and what does ATG mean?  Andie this is great info and I'm going to look up Rippletoe's videos.  I'm uber impressed you can do these with 100 pounds!  Do you use two 50 pounders then?  Ahem, Darcy, you might have some competition here LOL

Hey ....ATG is ass to grass/ground depending on which term you prefer LOL.....NROLFW is New Rules of Lifting for Women which is the program I'm doing at the moment, and loving it!!! My barbell weighs 10 pounds and I load it with 2 x 25, 2 x 15 & 2 x 5's. My next workout I'll be changing the 2 x 5 to 2 x 10 and squatting 110lbs, which is my goal at the moment, I've also increased my deadlift to 120lbs, which is currently as high as I care to go. Form tends to slip if I go any heavier, so I'm going to focus on doing more reps instead of increasing weight. Did I say that I really LOVE this program!!!!! Take care.

I'm proud that I got my butt outta bed at 4:00 am and shall do so again

tomorrow!

Hey ....ATG is ass to grass/ground depending on which term you prefer LOL.....NROLFW is New Rules of Lifting for Women which is the program I'm doing at the moment, and loving it!!! My barbell weighs 10 pounds and I load it with 2 x 25, 2 x 15 & 2 x 5's. My next workout I'll be changing the 2 x 5 to 2 x 10 and squatting 110lbs, which is my goal at the moment, I've also increased my deadlift to 120lbs, which is currently as high as I care to go. Form tends to slip if I go any heavier, so I'm going to focus on doing more reps instead of increasing weight. Did I say that I really LOVE this program!!!!! Take care.

Hi Andie!What is NROLFW and what does ATG mean? Andie this is great info and I'm going to look up Rippletoe's videos. I'm uber impressed you can do these with 100 pounds! Do you use two 50 pounders then? Ahem, Darcy, you might have some competition here LOLThanks a ton!

Hi .....just popped in to read the e-mails and saw your question about squats. I do ATG squats all the time now, with NROLFW I'm doing barbell squats with a total weight of 100lbs, 3 sets of 10, and they are all full squats. I find that its easier on my knees to do full squats rather than parallel squats. I love how strong they make me feel and I've been increasing the weight almost every workout, I only weigh 105lbs so I'm pretty close to squatting my own weight. If you google a guy named Mark Rippetoe you can read about the science of "full" squats. Let me know what you think after you read what he has to say, he has some really good You Tube videos about squats and deadlifts as well. Take care.

There's no music, and he's not exactly Mr. Personality, but he gets the job done. I only did one of the 3 sequences in his program because he's boring and I'd rather do it on my own to music. You do:front squatsgood mornings (hadn't done that one before, fun!)1 legged deadliftbox pistolsracked lungesjump squat (calves)double swingsI decided after that I really needed to do Weber's work instead which does have music and ... oh baby..I think I need to be your Malibu Princess! I chose first the swing workout - for his stuff you do it once through. Swing Workout:10 swings each sidehot potatoes10 high pulls each sidehot potatoes10 snatches each sidehot

Hi Judy.... New Rules of Lifting for Women is a book by Lou Schuller and Alwyn Cosgrove and it's awesome. There's a forum on JP Fitness that will answer any questions you have on it. This is the first program that I've actually stayed with...I usually get tired of something after a couple of weeks, but I am seeing strength gains like I've never seen before, and I'm pushing myself to the limit each and every workout and having a ball doing it. I absolutely love squats and deadlifts and all the basic big moves that this program covers. I feel like amazon woman when I finish each workout LOL...it is so cool!!!!!! I actually went to the gym when we were out of town last weekend and used the equipment there just so I could stay on track, it was quite the rush seeing the looks on the faces of the big strong men when I took over the squat rack and loaded it up to do my full squats, it was priceless, I loved it, almost makes me want to use the gym more

often. They couldn't believe that a 55 year old, 5'1" 105lb woman would venture into their territory and actually do squats and deadlifts, I wish I had a camera with me, it really was very funny.

Hi Judy.... New Rules of Lifting for Women is a book by Lou Schuller and Alwyn Cosgrove and it's awesome. There's a forum on JP Fitness that will answer any questions you have on it. This is the first program that I've actually stayed with...I usually get tired of something after a couple of weeks, but I am seeing strength gains like I've never seen before, and I'm pushing myself to the limit each and every workout and having a ball doing it. I absolutely love squats and deadlifts and all the basic big moves that this program covers. I feel like amazon woman when I finish each workout LOL...it is so cool!!!!!! I actually went to the gym when we were out of town last weekend and used the equipment there just so I could stay on track, it was quite the rush seeing the looks on the faces of the big strong men when I took over the squat rack and loaded it up to do my full squats, it was priceless, I loved it, almost makes me want to use the gym more

often. They couldn't believe that a 55 year old, 5'1" 105lb woman would venture into their territory and actually do squats and deadlifts, I wish I had a camera with me, it really was very funny.

Hey ....ATG is ass to grass/ground depending on which term you prefer LOL.....NROLFW is New Rules of Lifting for Women which is the program I'm doing at the moment, and loving it!!! My barbell weighs 10 pounds and I load it with 2 x 25, 2 x 15 & 2 x 5's. My next workout I'll be changing the 2 x 5 to 2 x 10 and squatting 110lbs, which is my goal at the moment, I've also increased my deadlift to 120lbs, which is currently as high as I care to go. Form tends to slip if I go any heavier, so I'm going to focus on doing more reps instead of increasing weight. Did I say that I really LOVE this program!!!!! Take care.

LOL...it is much easier on my knees, it was kettlebells that started me doing them that way as well. I had never used a barbell before NROLFW either, I'd always used DBs, but I found it easier to do full squats with the weight on my shoulders. It just seems more natural for me to squat deeply, keep everything tight and power back up than to just go to parallel which puts more stress on your knee joints. I think you'll enjoy the program, its actually nice to not workout with DVDs for a change, for strength anyway, I still do my DVDs for the cardio, but I am really feeling good with this program.
