December 18- Rest day from kettlebell lifting, though I did some light destruction- I tore down the back steps, which are in need of replacement.  Then I brought the 2x12 treads into my gym, and made two stacks so I can do some progressive deadlifts, starting just below the knees.  I'll deadlift on variety days, and remove one 2-inch board every 3rd workout or so, until I'm pulling from the floor.  I'm using 325.  I could not resist, and did about 5 pulls.
