I can now hold up all my own weight for 5-6 seconds. On Thursday I really impressed myself, while hanging I pulled my knees up to just above my pelvis three times. My tummy was pretty pissed off that I didn't stop after two. But it's been 72 hours and my tummy is perfectly happy.
My rule of thumb is if it feels mostly normal 3 day later, I didn't work out too hard. This isn't scientific or anything. It's my own personal threshold where the discomfort overshadows the fun, and my motivation collapses.
On November 17 my mom and I are taking a one hour introduction to kettlebell training. The joke around my house is, "I've got a fever, and the only prescription is more kettlebell." Google "SNL cowbell" if you haven't seen this skit.
For an article about kettlebell training, see http://stumptuous.com/cms/displayarticle.php?aid=49. But do not blame me if you become obsessed with doing squats with perfect form, merely from a single exposure to the best strength training website ever.
