Damn, bad nose bleed whole day - for hours, don't know why. I skipped the swings, and did just the get-ups. Breathing only with one nostril, it was, well... still ok.
Today's practice:
- 5x1 get-up 44, 48, 44, 44, 44
Today's photo: W.A. Pullum performing a dumbbell Swing:
"...the bell has been 'fixed' by 'dipping' to the extend of 'sitting'."
I asked my colleagues how to call the position, and my friend Mateusz suggested "staggered squat". I love it.

I don't think you do too many things by mistake...

Yet, I am of the belief that you still performed the get up with little challenge.... 
@offwidth The first time I did a get-up with 48 it was by mistake - I thought it was 44
Yet, I am of the belief that you still performed the get up with little challenge....

Thank you. I know the article, and I even quote part of it in my project I am working on. Today we shot some video preview material: 2 instructional videos (5 and 8 minutes) soon available for free on my English website. Stay tuned.

Today's picture: Kettlebell snatch. From Thomas Inch’s Scientific Weight Lifting (1905).
Not the best wrist position at the top of the snatch. I guess he hadn't read Pavel T's great-grandfather's book...
@Smile-n-Nod Agreed. But...
- it is a drawing, not a photo
- most of the old-timers performed "swing snatch" for single reps only, heavy
- most of them used both dumbbell and kettlebell - and the dumbbell hold is different
- most of them also trained one-handed lifts with barbell (heavy!), so I guess their wrists were used to this position, and very strong in it
But...
I will definitely keep snatching according SFG standard. We are standing on the shoulders of giants, but we are constantly improving the methodology.

A heavy get-up on a hard floor > Olecranon Bursitis (Popeye Elbow). Damn. It does not hurt at all, but my elbow is... well, big. I will see if it heals, or if I need to go to see a doctor.

Hope you heal quickly and well!!!
Well, just stretching, pistols, and some one-arm overhead squats. My "Popey's elbow":
Anyway, as the classis says (or sings), always look on the bright side of the world.
FAQ: What muscles does kettlebell lifting train?
A: Check out this drawing from an old Eugene Sandow’s book. It is just a small sample. Anyway, keep snatching, and you will tell tomorrow, mkay?
