Twitter Bombs That Buck the Status Quo

Two more Twitter Bombs are set to coincide with the debates.

First one is tomorrow on the 11th, from 8:30 to 9:30pm Eastern. It’s the #GaryJohnsonAndJimGray Twitter Bomb.

The Event Page’s site is https://www.facebook.com/events/376540825755858/

You can go to the event page, copy and paste tweets on TweetDeck or some other to schedule them. And ReTweets help. The goal is to trend on twitter and get people’s attention and we need all the help we can get, since their’s a lot a people on twitter at night.

Then for the second Presidential Debate is the #GaryJohnsonHasMyVote Twitter Bomb. At 8:30pm Eastern on October 16 we do what the polls and Debate Commission refuse to do, and that’s include Gary Johnson, the Libertarian Candidate who’s on 47 State’s ballots.

The Event Page is https://www.facebook.com/events/492169734140606/

Same thing as above. I’ll be there at twitter.com/RoninsJourney

You’re Decision and Ask Me A Question

Last week I asked the question all over the internet of where to go next with Abyss Press.

1. Publish Growls Of A Wolf to Kindle or
2. Start on book #3, Breakdown.

It was unanimous, new book. So I’ll begin the next book based on the Breakdown series of blog posts on here, which consistently show up in most read on the Site Stats. But this book won’t be a piecing together of posts; no, I’ll be bringing it to a whole other level. So this will take some time.

Now, last week in the Abyss Press Newsletter first and then on the Ronin/Abyss Press Facebook Page I wrote about an idea I’ve fleshed out. I love interviews,  questions and new ideas.

How Would You Like To Help Drive Ronin’s Journey Posts?

Here’s how, send me your questions about anything and if I can answer it, I will. Or a Topic you think I should cover that fits the theme of the blog. Also let me know how you want to be known as when I give you credit for the question or topic.

Look forward to your questions guys. Send them to roninsjourney@yahoo.com with the SUBJECT line: Blog so I can find it.

My Free Kettlebell Class.

On the right beside the 44.

A couple of weeks ago my new DragonDoor 24kg/53lb kettlebell came in, and along with it a coupon for ONE free lesson with participating RKC Instructors. Group, boot camp, individual, it’s at the instructor’s discretion. So today I paid a visit to my instructor Brad Hamilton at Life Warrior Fitness. He helped make sure I was ready for the 20kg/44lb bell a few months back.

Today I didn’t have an agenda and since I document every session on Facebook and he’s a friend, he pretty much knows what I’m doing. He just verified, to make sure. Started with the Get-Up. Then we worked shoulder mobility with one move where I pressed a 26lb I think, then keeping it vertical moved my shoulder in rhythm back and forth. Then an Arm Bar with the 18lb, and believe me, from that angle, it’s plenty. I routinely press 44lbs overhead and the 18 was moving a little.

Then we went downstairs into the Dungeon. I forgot the order we had worked. Worked a heavier Get-Up with the 35, and then the 44. Which I hadn’t done before with that kind of weight. Worked Two-Hand Swings, 10 reps with the 35, 5 with the 44, and 5 with the 53. The last time I was with him I leaned back to much. He didn’t say anything so I guess I fixed it. Brad told me to point my feet in a little, more straight than I was. That made it harder. Also Dead-Stop Swings. That will build explosiveness.

Worked on Heavy Cleans a lot to. I was popping my elbow out a little, not as much as last time. And torqueing when I came up got to stay straight. Did Snatches. And though a workout, the 35 was a lot easier now. The 44 was too, up to 5 at least. His only correction on my snatch form was breathing so kick ass on doing better with that technical move.

Finished up with showing me a couple of new stretches, Press Up and Roll Overs and the advice to do Joint Mobility on Variety Days. He had been taking notes and working on a program for my Thursday Variety Day.

5×5 Heavy Cleans with the 53 and five Get-Ups alternating between the 30 and 44, progressing up until all 5 is with the 44. Three sets of 5 Snatches with the 44. That adds to my Monday Snatch Practice as well. So before long RKC Standard maybe? Swings and/or High Pulls 5-10 reps for 3 sets with the 53. When that gets easy…Dead Stop Swings. And he added a technical note on my TGUs about a bigger step forward during the reverse lunge. Occasionally hoist a kettle bell overhead and take a walk.
He was telling me that one of his friends asked if he did Overhead Lunges with weight, that he liked 7lb dumbbells.

I’m sorry, I smirked.

Brad told him about the TGU with weights a lot higher than that. Also learned I’m the only one really Snatching the kettle bell among his clients. I gotta be different I guess, hahaha. He’s working a blend of ROTK and another program so Brad’s going to get a bit more powerful. That’s double kettlebell work. I can’t press doubles yet of substantial weight. I tried.

Anyway, just wanted to post this. For a few reasons, I love kettle bells, it helps me process, and what I love, I share.
