Consistency

Consistency is the key when it comes to getting better at any sport. Especially kettlebell sport. With my work schedule which is a bit crazy I have been trying to find time or make time to get time working with the bell. Some workouts have been short and other long but whenever I can I get my work in. So for the last 10 days training has been consistent. It looks like this.

Not bad but could be better. Snatch is starting to improve and Jerk is also improving. My reps are starting to go up and my pacing is getting better. I have until March 31 which is my first competition of the year. I'll be getting some of my sets and other exercises on video that I use during training.
