This thread is useless without pics!

Molgrips... I pondered this myself.

My conclusion... MTFU. Simple really.

what he ^^^ said - the KB shouldn't be swinging around anyway

It's meant to condition your body for strength and stamina, not bruise resistance surely?

Anyway I've figured it out - use your strength to keep your wrist locked out and it really helps, although it's hard on the muscles it's hard in a good way.

Fnarr.

Oh, and....

or hold the KB so the weighty bit points upwards

ooooh, hadn't thought of that iDave... will try that next time!

Gym has just added a 20kg to its collection 🙂

Tried some swings while standing on a vew-do balance board. That was interesting. Not with 20kg though.

Crikey! I'll bet it was!

Any joy with a bike fitting bloke?? 😀

emailed him earlier, will let you know the shizzle

Molgrips, you're better than Eastenders, d'you know? LOL

Nice one!

Emsz - he is, isn't he? He's actually becoming a bit of a hero of mine. Don't tell him though.. I don't want him to know that I'm almost certainly going to start stalking him.

It's sort of nice knowing that some-one exists like Molgrips. Sorry Molly, but your posts about nearly everything make me shake my head and think "How do you make any decisions at all?"

😆

You over analyse more than me!!!

emsz - are you sure about that?

Maybe...Let me think about it. LOL.

I analysed something once

and..?

I can't remember. Something about some stuff and that.

Deep, iDave.

😀

I remember now, it was about 2-3 diphosphoglycerate shifting the oxyhaemoglobin dissociation curve

Can you use a different weight? are you using a kettle weight or small dumbbell type would of thought the latter would not hit the baqck of your wrist???

iDave, riiiightttt. I can't begin to even think about what that means!

use a dumb bell rather than a kettle bell?

He does like to stamp his feet doesn't he?

and he's doing it wrong

According to YouTube you should do it with a curled up young lady, not a kettle bell or dumb bell.

That guy's doing it wrong how? He's not starting with the weight on the floor, picking it up was the hardest bit I found.. he's also not making a plank as he gets up like some of the vids..

Good exercise though, I really loved it for some reason. Only did a few and they were pretty easy but still got a lovely worked out stimulated feeling all over, and went to bed dreaming of hammering race courses on my XC bike 🙂 Plus I feel really good this morning.

they're not supposed to be easy surely?

Bigger weight!

I was thinking of ordering bigger weights - but these ones have cost me 45 euro each 🙁

I could return them I suppose. Or just buy some lead sheeting and wrap it around them 🙂

TSY when you do start stalking my husband make sure you stop by for supper occasionally, you're life seems to be great fodder for enjoyment over a drink or two (meant in a nice way) 😀

Oooh... does this mean that I get talked about by the Grips?

*happy*

Well if we do our planned road ride (remember that?) in Wales you can all come meet with Mrs Grips too.

Molgrips... I'm game!
There are a couple of us embroiled in a torturous power struggle through the mountains of Wales in early July, but you ain't back!

haha, loving the tag at the top of this 🙂 *tunes in for the rest of the day*

I duc taped some extra weights onto a small kettlebell, worked fine*

*I'm not advising ANYONE to do this, just sayin' like....

I suggest this road..

iDave.

While you have the duck tape to hand. Can you wrap up my light and send it back to me please....

I've mailed you but no reply.

I need the light back, cheers.

Be careful with your wrist now, this may or may not help.

Lol at that video. Bless...

By eck, the things I'd like to do to her when she's all hot 'n' sweaty...

Thanks MLC!

Sorry Molly, but your posts about nearly everything make me shake my head and think "How do you make any decisions at all?"

The reason I waffle on here all day is because I am bored stupid at work. The reason I ask so many questions is because to think about and analyse stuff is to start to unlock the real treasures of the world... 🙂 for me at least.

.....and let us not forget the entertainment that this external introspection provides to the rest of us.

It's not introspection.. it's geekiness.

I am going to have to politely disagree with you Mr Grips.

That's out of character isn't it? 😉

I knew that was coming 😀
