Notes
1. Turkish Get Ups with Kettlebells vs. Dumbbells - Equal but different, I'll do them both.
2. Going to alternate the axle deadlift with kb snatches. The balance is good for my body.
3. Renegade rows are required to prevent chronic shoulder pain. Easing off on pressing for now.
Headed out for a couple mile walk. Stretched last night, will probably stretch again tonight.

New Dumbbells
Sunday I traded off some old sports equipment and got a set of standard spin lock dumbbells. I did not like failing on the 60lb turkish get up Saturday, but it showed me the dumbbell get ups are harder to stabilize.
Tonight I proved it.
Warm Up
Two Arm Swings - 12 x 12k
One Arm Swings - 12/12 x 12k
KB Snatches - 8/8 x 12k
Split Squats - 8/8 x BW
Work
Turkish Get Ups - 3/3 x 10k, 40lbs, 40lbs
DO Axle Deadlifts - 5 x 136lbs, 156lbs, 156lbs
I finally brought my axle in from the garage. I am not sure where my lifting is going right now, but I do know my interest in heavy deadlifts is limited. The axle is a suitable alternative.
I have culled a number of tangential distractions from my lifestyle.
