Stopped using weights when I discovered kettlebells. Increased my strength and endurance without gaining mass. Best part is kettlebells work connective tissue -- no pain from isolating muscles like with dumbells.

In the article when the writer says 3 at 250kg, do they mean three reps, or three sets?
What do they mean by PB, if you aren't fresh enough... and go home after it happens?
Thanks

PB means "Personal Best". You have to think in two directions:
1.) If You come to the track and you cannot reach your target time/ target speed - warm down and go home. It's neural, You are weak and the danger of overtraining and burnout is real.
2.) If You come to the track and you will set a new personal best time / speed - warm down and go home. You have made a step forward and thats okay for that day, because You are better and stronger and if You will now "shock" Your body with a set of new and "higher" efforts, it will take You/Your body down for weeks.
p.s.: Apologize for my bad English - hope, You can understand my thoughts/notices.

They mean 3 reps with 250 kg in one single set.

Well, at least I've got the chocolate cake part figured out!
One of the things he said reminded me of a friend that ran competitively in college cross country. "Long, slow training makes for long, slow races". If you're training to go fast, then go 'freakin' fast!
