It's almost funny how often this happens: I write a client workout then realize how fun it sounds... and then I write a modified version that's more specifically aligned with what I'm working on/towards. Here's a very recent example of that exact scenario - and the best part? I get to share two workouts with you at the very same time! Original Workout (For client - general … [Read more...] about Two Variations Of One Intermediate-Advanced Kettlebell Workout

Revisiting a Kettlebell and Bodyweight workout: Intermediate-Advanced level AND what’s inside a Skulpt AIM!
It happened again - I wrote a workout for an advanced/intermediate-advanced client then really really wanted to do a version of it myself. Upped the weights here and there, but kept the rep ranges pretty much the same. Slight modification to work around the old school Pavel pull-up program I dusted off for the season (more about that in a few more weeks time when I will have … [Read more...] about Revisiting a Kettlebell and Bodyweight workout: Intermediate-Advanced level AND what’s inside a Skulpt AIM!
An Under 25 Minute Stacking Kettlebell Workout! Intermediate Level
There's always a few interesting moments in a stacking workout - the first is usually a false sense of security, or the quickly fleeting thought that you might have chosen a kettlebell that's a little too light. Cherish these moments, because a few minutes (or for some, seconds) that same kettlebell may feel mysteriously waaay heavier. Because I wanted to go straight though, … [Read more...] about An Under 25 Minute Stacking Kettlebell Workout! Intermediate Level
Descent Into Strength: A Quick Intermediate Level Bodyweight and Kettlebell Workout
This is a workout I do (there are several variations) when there's not a lot of time, but I want to get a reasonable amount of strength work/practice done along with some conditioning as well. It's cobbled together from the ideas of several sources, and is easily adjustible to whereever you are. I'm so fond of it and its variations that it is scrawled on a small piece of … [Read more...] about Descent Into Strength: A Quick Intermediate Level Bodyweight and Kettlebell Workout
Intermediate to Advanced Kettlebell Circuit Workout From Favorite Moves!
After a last minute sudden location change (rain poured down from NOWHERE a full 2 minutes before small group), we carried on with the full workout you see here -- I'll also write it out in case the little graphic is too difficult to read for any reason. Also, clicking on the image will make it full size... which is huge. With the inclusion of the 5 minutes, 100 snatches … [Read more...] about Intermediate to Advanced Kettlebell Circuit Workout From Favorite Moves!
Workout Logic: ChatGPT and AI Kettlebell Experiments (and some workouts to do)
Even if we don't run in the same social circles, recently it's hard to go a day without hearing some mention of AI tools such as ChatGPT and their implications for any given industry, subject of study, commercial enterprise, etc. Those who know me from "real life" also know that I've harped on the fact that we must know the "why" behind certain types of decisions etc. Buzzwords … [Read more...] about Workout Logic: ChatGPT and AI Kettlebell Experiments (and some workouts to do)
Advanced Mash-Up Kettlebell and Bodyweight Workout
This past Sunday, we had unseasonably warm weather - in the 60s, and I'd found a really fun place to do this sort of workout. On the weekends, a local middle school has an open to the public running track and a whole lot of pullup bars and various other old school outdoor apparatus. The bars are even adult-height (for adults who are not short like me). As a bonus they even had … [Read more...] about Advanced Mash-Up Kettlebell and Bodyweight Workout
A Kettlebell Workout for Really Getting Into It, or Getting BACK to it!
It's been really great for the past few weeks both at the small RKC Workshop I led in Raleigh, NC, and with the handful of local people who train with me. Talking about kettlebells more than usual, fielding questions from others and enjoying the nice weather outside has gotten me even MORE fired up about kettlebell training. Some of you may wonder how this is possible, but as … [Read more...] about A Kettlebell Workout for Really Getting Into It, or Getting BACK to it!
Simple But Challenging Kettlebell and Sandbag Power Workout
This challenge workout is all about power generation, and should only be considered by intermediate-advanced or advanced kettlebell users. Form with swings and snatches should be solid, and a set of 10 pushups should be incredibly easy. The pushups here are used as a grip break and not so much as a strength move on their own. With that said, the workout can be scaled down for … [Read more...] about Simple But Challenging Kettlebell and Sandbag Power Workout
The 47 Challenge (Friend’s Birthday Workout)
Something I've loved to do for ages - for myself and for clients is create a "birthday workout". Now... as we've all gotten older this has become more challenging. It's a good thing we've been using all this time to TRAIN and practice our technique. Odd number ages always present an interesting challenge too - but if we've trained together, you know I love a theme - especially … [Read more...] about The 47 Challenge (Friend’s Birthday Workout)
