Lorenzo, the "rack" in kettlebell speak, is the position of the bells held in the crook of the arm. In ideal terms, one ought to be able to rest there. In practice, not so easy. One arm work is easier to attain that rest than two arm work.

hello,

mucho understando, hideouse! seems a lot of kettlebellers around here. will have to investigate kettlebells.

thanks

Left Indy the 30th of Jan. for a road trip to Pittsburgh to see a body worker who

also does LENS, and then to Frederick to see another friend who is Rolfing. The two

of them freed up my right rectus femoris, right psoas, worked on some of my scars,

and loosened up my lower back enough that my springing tripods are much easier to

perform.
While on the road Friday got a call from an adoption attorney looking for a home for

a newborn boy. Said yes. Things are going to be more chaotic than usual.

I did this because I couldn't think of anything else to do tonight and I want to

start handling the greenies before the Arnold.
I've been in a funk since the Atlanta competition back in December and I haven't

shaken it off quite yet.
