Don't these sound like well-behaved topics?! Don't worry, I haven't gone off the goody-two-shoe deep end! Until recently, even though I've liked kale for a long time cooked in dishes etc, and raw baby kale for salads, I hadn't had any especially good experiences with kale chips. Especially the sort I tried to make myself in the oven a while ago which smelled horrible. … [Read more...] about Two Unlikely Subjects… Kale Chips and Lunges?!?!
Pashen Raw Food Snack Bars – Original and Cacao
I love these. They have a delicious complex flavor and texture that is just fantastic for workshop weekends or times of increased activity. While I'm not a huge fan of grains, one of my old favorites is buckwheat and the main ingredient of these bars just happens to be sprouted organic buckwheat. Again, these are a rare treat in that they are expensive ($4-$6/bar depending … [Read more...] about Pashen Raw Food Snack Bars – Original and Cacao
Catching Up With Angelo Gala, and gearing up for the 2nd ever PCC Workshop
First of all, I wanted to make sure you had the link for RKC and PCC Team Leader, Angelo Gala's interview that went live today on Dragon Door. Angelo is a super neat dude. I first met him a few years ago when he was an assistant on my team as I was attending my first RKC-II Workshop. Angelo ended up helping me a whole lot, and I was super inspired by his athleticism and … [Read more...] about Catching Up With Angelo Gala, and gearing up for the 2nd ever PCC Workshop
Dale’s Raw Protein Bar – Mint Chocolate Chip with Cacao Nibs
Confession: I didn't think I'd like the Mint Chocolate Chip bars (scroll to find them) at all. The only reason I ordered them was because of a special offer where a box was included. Having never been a fan of "mint chocolate chip" anything, EVER, I figured I could trade some with one of my clients who also orders Dale's Bars, or just power through them. Wow did THAT … [Read more...] about Dale’s Raw Protein Bar – Mint Chocolate Chip with Cacao Nibs
Dale’s Raw Protein Bar – Vanilla Cashew with Flax Seeds
This particular flavor is special for a few different reasons, the first of which is it happens to be the surprise favorite of myself and several friends. You'd think we'd pick a chocolate flavor as a favorite, but... the Vanilla Cashew with Flax Seeds bar (scroll to find it) is hands down the dark horse winner. It's also pretty astounding in terms of nutritional … [Read more...] about Dale’s Raw Protein Bar – Vanilla Cashew with Flax Seeds
The Slightly OCD Kettlebell and Bodyweight Workout
As mentioned a few days ago, my entire collection of kettlebells except for 3 particularly large ones "left the building" for the recent Orlando HKC. On Sunday they came back and were hastily stowed in the storage area, and while this was kind of annoying, I had already started coming up with a fun idea on how to reorganize them that would involve the small group class. We … [Read more...] about The Slightly OCD Kettlebell and Bodyweight Workout
Orlando HKC Recap, a Shoulder Tip Video and Other Fun Stuff
It was really super that Senior RKC Beth Andrews could come down to Orlando and lead what was possibly the best HKC we've ever had. It was held at Signature Fitness where a couple of my very good friends work. The amusing part was their gym didn't really have a whole lot of kettlebells... so between two cars, we managed to transport all but three of my collection over to the … [Read more...] about Orlando HKC Recap, a Shoulder Tip Video and Other Fun Stuff

Master RKC Max Shank and I had a VERY IMPORTANT discussion
Having interviewed Max for Dragon Door on at least two occasions, somewhere along the line we realized that we have a shared love for cheese. While many people are not consuming dairy right now, I wanted to know why Max was as passionate as ever about cheese. I know why I am, but wanted to hear his reasons. Through the MP3 file below, you'll discover that answer, but also … [Read more...] about Master RKC Max Shank and I had a VERY IMPORTANT discussion
