Kettlebelling: my new training schedule

Rather than muck around we've worked up a  drill plan.for the Kettlebells.

Swings
  • 10x2 hands
  • 10xL hand
  • 10x2 hands
  • 10xR hand
  • 10x2 hands
Lifts
  • 8x clean and press
  • 10x snatches
  • 6x clean and press
  • 8x snatches
Swings
  • 10x2 hands
  • 10xL hand
  • 10x2 hands
  • 10xR hand
  • 10x2 hands
This schedule pushes me a lot. My complication is one of finding the sweet spot during each day when I can do it as as each day wears on I  normally become stiffer, sorer and my range of motion reduces -- depending how restrained I am when I wake up each morning, the weather...whatever. The trick is to deploy the exercise as analgesia.

While I get to vary the weight and pace I lift, it's not an easy call...
