The heavier KB makes all the difference. You really need to stay tight. If anything it helped my form because there was less room for error.

14 minutes of
1 minute swings 22x 16kg KB.
1 minutes of jogging.

3 minutes waiter's walk 20lb KB alternating hand every 30 seconds.

Stretch

Reducing the swings to sets of 20 really helped. My form was always breaking down on the last few reps. I had to really heave the 'bell up during the last few reps.

Doing 20 reps everything felt smooth and I had no pains or niggles in my back afterward.

The waiter's walk was too easy. Heaver kettlebell next time.

The Last Supper gets supersized.

An interesting look at the growth of portion sizes in paintings of the Last Supper. It appears to support the link between relative affluence and obesity.
