Back From Vacation

Returned from a week of vacation last night, boy did I ever need the break.....from work, from kettlebells, from life in general. Took a rather unorthodox vacation for a northerner......I went farther north! Visited my wife's family's cabin in Northwest Quebec Provence in the dead of winter.....some might think we were crazy, but it was actually very relaxing and we had a great time playing outside. I brought my 24kg bell and did some fitness protocol routines in the garage after warming my bell handle up with a torpedo heater (this is quite effective for your information).

I am now refreshed and ready to return to training. I look forward to continuing to push my 28kg snatch performance and hope to reach my goals soon. My knee is feeling better, but still not 100%. I will try to re-introduce jerks and see how things go. I am still working some body weight squats and Bulgarian Split Squats into my workouts in hopes of strengthening the musculature surrounding my surgically repaired knee. I hope this approach works.
