The Combustion Chamber – a Kettlebell Workout
Long ago in a somewhat miserable galaxy far far away, I was shown the original Whitley "Furnace" workout in a questionable corner of a questionable playground in a questionable condo complex. Questionable because well...not everyone was as careful with their dog droppings as we would have hoped. Fortunately this didn't become an issue.

I've purchased boxes of it fairly regularly as an alternative to the usual collection of … [Read more...] about Ostrim Beef & Ostrich Snack Sticks
