Madness indeed - being in NC means that March Madness is the tune of the moment. But, this workout has a madness all its own. The first few rounds give you a challenge but as is my style of workout design, it also may inspire a false sense of security. While the battle rope throw reps go down... the burpees come up. Or burps if you've overdone it hydration wise at this point … [Read more...] about Madness Descends – A Circuit Workout for Kettlebell and Battling Rope

45th Birthday Workout – Groundhog Day Edition
The funny thing about birthday workouts is that the older you get, the wilder the rep ranges get... though in all cases, birthday workouts are an exercise in creativity - how can you use a set of numbers in a way that makes sense in a workout for your current level. This workout is fairly advanced, so if you try it, please modify it to make sense for you and your training … [Read more...] about 45th Birthday Workout – Groundhog Day Edition
Revisiting The Descender Workout for Kettlebells and Bodyweight
One of the greatest things about posting more and revitalizing this blog (did you know it's been around since 2009) is having new eyes on it. These new eyes find older posts (and often typos, which I do appreciate, btw) and bring them back up for discussion. This happened last week as a new Instagram follower found an older post which had a workout embedded in it -- one that … [Read more...] about Revisiting The Descender Workout for Kettlebells and Bodyweight

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
Video: Complete Mobility & Bodyweight Exercise Workout
Here's something a little different I thought you might enjoy! It's designed to be a bit more accessible than the workouts I usually lead for this particular private program each week. This is a simpler workout in case you have family or friends who might want to participate with you, but they haven't been training very much. The workout is also designed in mind for if your … [Read more...] about Video: Complete Mobility & Bodyweight Exercise Workout
A Higher Volume Workout Challenge
Crank It UP! This past Wednesday, we decided to tackle a somewhat advanced challenge, and upped the volume a little bit. The workout below is fairly advanced (especially if you adjust the weights to your current level). It's a smorgasbord of favorite methods, and putting them all together like this is a little bit crazy - however with care, good form and good judgement it was … [Read more...] about A Higher Volume Workout Challenge
Neuro-Grips Are Back! (Here’s some tips and workouts which use them)
Neuro-Grips are unforgiving. They don't care if you think you're doing things right - either you are or you're on the ground with bloody knuckles and/or knees if you haven't taken the time to learn how to bail out properly. Respect the Neuro-Grips as they are one of the things you can count on to be honest--cherish this. They don’t care who you are or who you think you are and … [Read more...] about Neuro-Grips Are Back! (Here’s some tips and workouts which use them)
