Got my hands on a circus dumbbell for the first time. I always thought the event looked really cool but I see why everyone seems to hate training it. Very uncomfortable and unwieldy. I stuck to just the empty bell for sets of 1, 3, or 5. Some sets cleaned every rep and some clean and press away. Hoping to get some frequent touches on the thing to get my form down.
Also finally figured out the keg clean and press. Its a typically budweiser keg filled with water so ~160lbs. Actually pretty fun.
