Tracy Reifkind's Training Food and Thought

Overweight since childhood,I spent most of my 30's tipping the scales around 250lbs. At age 41 I took charge of feeding myself by preparing all of my own meals, no more fast foods! I created a way to use my love of cooking, food, and eating to permanently lose over 100lbs. During this time I discovered kettlebells and my own style of training The Kettlebell Swing, bringing out my inner athlete and erasing all signs of former lifelong obesity. It's never too late, YOU CAN DO IT!

My Results from the Cali Open

16kg 10 min jerk 60 R/25 L

16kg snatch 174 total (103 R/85 L, 14 or so no counts. 9 min 25 sec.)

I set a competition PR in my jerks w 60 reps R and switching at the 5 minute mark. I switched L and felt as good as I could, focused on my breathing, but fumbled the bell after the 25th rep. The best part of the set, or should I say after the set is that I'm not afraid of the jerk set anymore! And that's a big thing, no HUGE thing!

Anyway, I bought my first pressure cooker. Talking about procrastinating! I think it's on my list for years now. So I will be stalking your blog for the next few days looking for good recipes and good pressure cooker bloggers.; February 25, 2014 at 7:27 AM
