The Ultimate Rebellion: Rejecting Punishment and Deprivation
Something had been bugging me for a VERY long time.

On the left side of the desk is this little heap of paper bits: brainstorms, workouts I've written for clients, myself, or the small group, a few receipts and SD … [Read more...] about The Ultimate Rebellion: Rejecting Punishment and Deprivation

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….

Heavy Stuff…. A Workout with Laurel Blackburn RKC Level 2 at Tallahassee Kettlebells
Good friend and fellow RKC Level 2 Instructor, Laurel Blackburn and I had a whole lot of fun this past weekend at her gym. She'd had a HUGE week - when she donated a training session to the Tallahassee Police TAC team - they showed up and apparently so did the press, and the local news, and and... it sounded like if someone had showed up with a food truck, Tallahassee … [Read more...] about Heavy Stuff….

Fitness Conspiracy Theories and How To Fight Back!
It's funny - every time I hint about a "conspiracy theory," many of you perk up, some of you text, some email, some even call! If I'm ever feeling lonely, I really know what to do. HA. I don't have a case of the lonelies today, but I did want to get your attention and tell you some of my theories and why they are so insidious. And also how YOU can be smart and beat... THEM. … [Read more...] about Fitness Conspiracy Theories and How To Fight Back!
