Kettlebell fashion statement

Oct. 3 Tuesday 2006

Started at my private gym for stretching and tune up for my session at the gym in town. Did some warmups on the heavy Tai bag, foam roller and Kettlebell swings and figure 8s. I have been using the foam roller more to loosen up the tight areas like my quads as of late and seem to be working. Who would ever think that foam would be such a tool for massage.
Anyway, went to the gym early to do squats and cleans with the KB. Since the gym I go to only has small KB I have to bring my own until the owner of the gym finds what they will be use by more than one member. The girl at the desk always note that "I see you have your fashion assory". Well most people don't carry around 32kg Kettlebell with them every place they go. It like doing a Farmer's walk all the time.
Did Barbell squats: 135 to 225# sets of 2 for full squats. Cleans sets of 5 with the 32kg after each set of squats and 2 pullup. No sense in wasting time resting.
15 mile bike ride at noon to finish the day.
