What you were waiting for… The Bowling Ball Incident….
As promised.... Strongman legend, Bud Jeffries dropping a bowling ball on me! Don't try this at home, I do extensive direct (hanging leg raises, flag progressions/regressions) and indirect (kettlebell, etc) abdominal training, so I can really brace very hard. Oddly enough this was actually kind of fun in a weird way. The bowling ball weighs 16lbs... If for some … [Read more...] about What you were waiting for… The Bowling Ball Incident….

And continued with a review of the hip hinge - we even … [Read more...] about Mindful Monday Kettlebell Swing Fine Tuning Workout
An Experiment…. Hardstyle Dog Training or More Reasons NOT to Practice Mistakes
Anyone who knows me in real like knows how much I love a good experiment. Having made my science fair debut at age 5, I've been on a life-long quest for all kinds of answers. Early highlights include (reworded, obviously): reciprocity of smiling, acidity and plant growth/survival, and of course all the undocumented backyard efforts. Still one of my favorites, was some … [Read more...] about An Experiment…. Hardstyle Dog Training or More Reasons NOT to Practice Mistakes

Mega Mondaaaaaayyyyy or something like that! This workout is a good example of how you can make a workout out of "just a bunch of kettlebell swings" without it being boring. Personally I don't find swings to be at all boring, but I'm thinking about each and every rep. You should be too.

ChocoHigos Hand-dipped Dark Chocolate Figs
Sometimes dried figs are like hard rocks, testing the structural integrity of your teeth and dentalwork. Not so with these - the Spanish Pararero figs are unbelieveably soft and slightly chewy with thin skins I didn't even notice. Just enough to hold all the crunchy seeds inside really. The figs have the consistency of a very soft carmel which is further enhanced by the … [Read more...] about ChocoHigos Hand-dipped Dark Chocolate Figs
