Wax Ecstatic

Here it comes.

The scenario many [all] of us have endured is as follows, with slight deviations for chronology and character- *Tsnatching bells, whether a salt dog veteran or a boot swinger pup, your hands take a beating. the bell gets Irish on your hands. Few of us can recall a period between Dragon Door Ground Zero
and 2003 when bells were prone to rust but had a finish that wore down easily with the ballistic practice. Present day reality: Bells will shred your hands. Chalk only makes it worse, by aiding in removing moisture from your paw only to quicken the ripping process, and climber's resin lasts for a set of low-rep swings and then two pumps its' way out of the spot. I come to you with tales of lubrication, rejuvenation, dedication, and innovation. Rub a block of wax around the handles of your bells. No doubt, verily 'tis the friction of your hand meeting bell which can only be endured by a substance known for it's constant displacement and rebirth under heat. Pick up the phone, it's for you. What kind of wax? Ask Daniel M. Kane MD RKC 2007 Age 60, who seals his own jars of preserves with the compound at the posh royale estate 'Cilcilcote' in serene Devon, PA, abreast of his lovely wife Candice. He will tell you paraffin wax. This man came to train with me at age 50 something and was a certified RKC within 3+ years. The wax was his idea, and he maintains that when placed on the bell before any reps are performed, you will escape the wrath. If you are nursing your hands back to health [recent RKC attendees] you may benefit from the lesser degree of torture on your mitts, yet when the hands are 100% [rest is required], and you begin again you will know no other joy than Tsnatching kettlebells.
Kettlebellers are waay outside the box, this is said emphatically for the RKC, or, the Russian Kettlebell Community, should feel at home adopting a practice of young groms and hard dogs who wax their stick with Zoggs, or Sticky Bumps to stay glued to the board. This merry band of mammals with a pair of racked bells deserves the chance to rep out and rip into some sets without dogging a nervous system with extra weight. Save your hands now. Heal the wounds as you search for wax on the internet, just grab a puck and rub copiously along the handles curves and contours. Call me when you break 222 in the USSSST.

*Tsnatches, the Tsar of Kettlebell lifts.

Training addendum: 1045 Thursday 15 May, Hike 'Julie' in Caballero Canyon, Encino. Time up and down 56:02. Ate a green apple [way too fast, as I aim to chew my food to liquid these days], have been sipping water to respect the 92 degree cloudless day,and plan to wax on and perform my RKC Tsnatches in LT 30 minutes.
