As suggested by Kenneth, I waited 2-4 days (well, 4 to be exact) and did the following press workout. I thought it was going to be harder than it turned out to be.
15 singles on each arm with an 8kg stacked on a 12kg (hand through both handles - not the bottoms up with a bell stacked on top. Ha.)
At first it seemed like it was going to be impossible, but I think the more I did it, the better I got at stacking the bells 
So today I tried out the new RKC snatch requirements and disappointed myself. For those females who weigh 123.5 and up, we have to now perform 100 snatches with a 16kg in 5 minutes. I tested this for the first time tonight and only got 92 
After speaking with Master RKC Kenneth Jay about the workshop here July 4th, I asked some press advice. He kindly informed me I was on the completely wrong track with regard to training for pressing the 24kg. He gave me a little advice which I started implemented into my training today.
Today’s training:
101 presses each side with the 16kg in an hour: 13 sets of 5 reps and 9 sets of 4 reps (not in that order, but mixed together.)
At first it seemed impossible but at the 51 rep mark seemed doable and by the end I was still surprising myself by being able to do some 5 rep sets after the 75 reps per side mark.
We shot 9 hours of ketttlebells for our DVD yesterday - mostly demonstrating common problems and “What not to do” so I am really sore. Today for a workout I am going to take a KB break and do an hour and a half dance class. We’ll let you know when the DVD is done!
Yesterday I did a mini VO2. There really is no excuse… 25 minutes. First 15 minutes 7 reps/set with a 12kg and last 10 6 reps/set with a 12kg…
This morning I took Stephen’s early class at Condition:
1TGU + overhead squat each side 20kg
1TGU each side 20kg
I moved between 16, 20, and 24’s except for the deadlifts where I used 40kg and 48kg’s
3 rounds 30 secs on, 30 secs off
Swings
Dragon Twist
Squat, Press R
Squat, Press L
Renegade Rows
Alternating Swings
Seesaw Press
Deadlifts (sumo)
This is going to sound really girly, but I got (a really bad) haircoloring today and was told that if I washed it before Sunday it might turn pink, so instead of the VO2Max training I had planned for tonight, I switched out for one of the PTTP - inspired RKC Prep trainings.

Hey guys - if you want the link to the online workouts, it’s www.pacefit.wordpress.com. They are all one bell workouts meant to be performed 3 times with rest in between exercises. Ignore the word “kettleball” title, please
If you are wondering why there were no RKC II prep trainings posted last week, it was because I took a detour to shoot some online workouts for a company called PaceFit. I wanted to wait until their site was up to post this and give the link, but since it’s just launching it’s taking a little longer than expected. Stay tuned for those links… But for now, it’s back to the plan:

Off to the dog park with my computer to start writing the outline for the kettlebell DVD we are shooting on Sunday!
This is actually yesterday’s workout. I didn’t post yesterday because I was in a hurry to eat pizza and drink beer - the beauty of training for strength vs training to wear a sparkly swimsuit and clear heels on stage. I forgot to start with get-ups and my deadlifts felt weak so I started with presses instead:
4/09/09 7:15PM
1 tactical pullup, 1 pistol r/1 pistol l no assistance
5 presses R with two 8kg’s in one hand
5 presses L with two 8kg’s in one hand
1 tactical pullup, 1 pistol r/1 pistol l (used TRX for pull-ups and pushed my toes off the wall a little for the pull-up (the pull-up bar is close to and facing the wall))
5 presses R with two 8kg’s in one hand
5 presses L with two 8kg’s in one hand
1 tactical pullup, 1 pistol r/1 pistol l (TRX and toes)
5 sumo deadlifts two 48kg’s

Turkish Get-ups 5/5 with a 16kg
Today I warmed up with light get-ups and moved onto heavy deadlifts and presses , greasing the groove with pistols and tactical pull-ups in between. I am hit or miss with pistols and pull-ups - some days I have no problems and some days I can’t do them at all.

1 pistol L/1 pistol R/ 1 pull-up (used the TRX and a resistance band for pistol and pull-up assistance today)
