I have been pretty focused on the marathon distance training of late and have not ventured much from that. Since the distance is done for now, I'd like to return focus to the fun side of training. STRENGTH!
I played with putting the 48kg bell overhead the other day and saw some real room for improvement there. SO...new short term goal will be putting that kettlebellbell overhead 50 Reps, however that may be. For now that weight still owns me, so it will have to be a combination of jerks, presses, and push presses. After the 50 is done, Ill see what mood strikes me from there. For the short term that will be more than enough to keep my occupied.
I have always enjoyed pulls, but have had a big interest in pressing lately. In later posts I'll discuss what I consider some key technical and training points to specifically improve the overhead lifting abilities. For fun and entertainment I'll delve in to some of the history behind the press from Olympic Lifting, and on a topic I am less familiar with...The Old Time Strongmen pressing. I always find it educational to seek out those who have already "walked the road" and see what can be gleaned from their success.

The 48kg is a heafty weight to lift. Good luck in the 50reps challenge.
