Heh, David you need to read the section in "Enter The Kettlebell" titled "It's Your Fault!" (if you get hurt) Actually, this is a great book if you don't have it already...what the origional RKC book should have been.
I just hurt my back a little by bending backwards looking through a .50 M2 barrel I was cleaning. I'm an idiot, "it was my fault" , I never would have lifted a weight or KB that way. In ETK, Pavel mentions it is easy to hurt your shoulder starting out with KBs through overuse and recommends snatches only 1 day a week and on the light day. You can do swings until you puke however, as long as you have good form. Turkish get ups are good for shoulders as you are just stabalizing the KB with it while getting up.
Our Ranger School bound comrade should just throw a KB in his rucksack and move out! March a mile, pull it out and do 50 swings, march another mile, do 20 snatches, march another mile then 20 russian twists....that would be evil. Great, now that I just thought that torture up...my warped mind is gonna have me out in the desert doing it...stupid, stupid! Note to self; don't think up anymore evil exercises even if just joking!
