Received my "Bag of Nails" and bent my first nail !! It's the white nail and it's a beginner, but it still was hard. I bent 3 nails, eventually the white nail will be like butter. I made the goal on the beginning nail so I will reset the goal for the intermediate nail. Bending nails is a cool ,eclectic, off the wall excercise that involves lots of muscles, hands, wrists forearms, shoulders, lats, pecs, abs, obliques and everything in between. Fun Stuff !
Work-Out
1. Bent 3 White Nails
2. 16kg Kettlebell one arm swings with eagle loops x 1 minute L / R w/15 second rest.
Left 5 one minute reps x 2 rounds
Right 5 one minute reps x 2 rounds
This excercise with the eagle loop attached to the kettlebell handle, adds a new evil twist to the kettlebell swing as the eagle loops are held by four finger tips only. Really blasts your fingers and forearms. The centrifugal force varies throughout the swing. Great new excercise for grip. Total excercise time was 20 minutes. I bet I'm the first one to use eagle loops on kettlebells.
Can you imagine Farmer Walks with Eagle Loops....Wooooo! I feel the burn just thinking about it.
3. 16kg Windmill Bottoms Left 5 x 1 Right 5 x 1
One round as my back was stressed, work up slowly on this excercise as I have a weakness in my lower back to overcome.
4. 12kg Top Windmill 16 kg Bottom Left 1 x 1 Right 1 x 1
This was a test for form. Good form but I feel stress in my lower back during the windmill movement. I need to work up slowly.
