A really cool article came out today on DragonDoor.com from Master RKC Chris Holder. Chris has a long history as a strength and conditioning coach for collegiate athletics. He’s observed some very interesting human behavior to say the least. In his article, two short quotes immediately jogged my brain and reminded me of several odd observations from my own experience as both a … [Read more...] about Strange Human Truths Unearthed by Kettlebell Training

Falling into a Low Carb Canned Salmon Recipe Rabbit Hole
Sunday night after coming back from going to dinner with friends I noticed when cleaning up in the pantry that I have been buying--but not USING some very high quality canned salmon. I've been accidentally stockpiling it in fact. Shame on me. Some of it was definitely expensive too, especially considering we're talking about a canned product. All of it is high quality wild … [Read more...] about Falling into a Low Carb Canned Salmon Recipe Rabbit Hole

Drone’s Eye View and Breaking Down the Get-Up …Even if You Already Know It
Recently I've had the privilege of adding a couple of local personal training clients to my schedule. Since moving here I haven't had a chance to really start up a small group with a local gym yet, and will probably continue to hold off on that for a few more months. Still finishing up the book after all (my fault since I keep adding things to it...it's becoming a … [Read more...] about Drone’s Eye View and Breaking Down the Get-Up …Even if You Already Know It
Finding Even More Value with the Bottom-Up Kettlebell Get-Up (and a Workout)
This past Thursday the class focused on strikes. Now, it may come as a surprise to some of you, but I am not in the habit of going around and hitting people. It was an interesting psychological block to work though, which I am now thinking is very important. If I need to hit someone, I have a lot less qualms now. Granted, I have made it 40 years without having … [Read more...] about Finding Even More Value with the Bottom-Up Kettlebell Get-Up (and a Workout)
Live from downtown Durham, answers to Neuro-Grip questions! And Why I Haven’t Been Doing Regular Pushups in Workouts
A lot of very cool things are happening at the moment, which is great, but it has kept me from writing as much as I'd like to here! So in order to make up for that this will be a full featured fun post, hopefully including topics you're jazzed about as much as I am. First off, I recently had an email inquiry: "what else can you do with Neuro-Grips besides push-ups?" I didn't … [Read more...] about Live from downtown Durham, answers to Neuro-Grip questions!

EGGS! How to make amazing hardboiled eggs & how to make deviled eggs!
In case you're thinking of boiling eggs this weekend, I wanted to put these posts together for you. Eggs are awesome anyway, so any excuse to highlight these nutritional powerhouses is a good one! Hardboiled eggs are a favorite grab and go snack (even at the airport--look for them at the more "gourmet" snack stands and shops). Just a little salt and pepper and they're … [Read more...] about EGGS! How to make amazing hardboiled eggs & how to make deviled eggs!
Newsflash! We Interrupt this Website for the Best Kind of Bonkers!
If you've been reading my site for any amount of time you know I'm into mace training and that I'm a huge fan of Ryan Pitts of StrongerGrip's awesome creativity and craftsmanship. FYI he is also like me, a bit bonkers--but in a good way. This new waterfilled mace--Leviathan Mace Limited Edition--he just introduced is just too epic for me not to share here. If I didn't think … [Read more...] about Newsflash! We Interrupt this Website for the Best Kind of Bonkers!
Another Epic Photoshoot with Jon Bruney and Dragon Door in Chicago!
Almost four years ago to the day, we had the photo shoot for Jon Bruney's awesome book, Neuro-Mass. It was and still is probably the most challenging photoshoot I've ever experienced--it was two days of some of the most difficult and creative strength moves I'd seen at the time. The incomparable RKC Team Leader, PCC Instructor, and shredded ab-monster Matt Maher was on that … [Read more...] about Another Epic Photoshoot with Jon Bruney and Dragon Door in Chicago!
A Chat with Wim Hof The Iceman, Poke Bowl Mania, Thrive Market, and the Give Back Box Program
Just a few weeks ago, I clicked a couple buttons on Skype and interviewed the one and only Wim Hof--The Iceman for Dragon Door. After only about two rings, here he was, smiling and waving from the other side of the Atlantic. I hope that the enthusiasm in his answers comes through in the printed version for you. Wim is the genuine article, and as Scott Carney had said in his … [Read more...] about A Chat with Wim Hof The Iceman, Poke Bowl Mania, Thrive Market, and the Give Back Box Program
