It happened again - I wrote a workout for an advanced/intermediate-advanced client then really really wanted to do a version of it myself. Upped the weights here and there, but kept the rep ranges pretty much the same. Slight modification to work around the old school Pavel pull-up program I dusted off for the season (more about that in a few more weeks time when I will have … [Read more...] about Revisiting a Kettlebell and Bodyweight workout: Intermediate-Advanced level AND what’s inside a Skulpt AIM!

Stuck Indoors? Here’s a Bodyweight Only Coordination, Strength and Cardio Workout!
As much as I hate to admit it, when the weather outside gets below freezing, I'm much less likely to work out outside. Then, one of my clients emailed asking for an indoor alternative to her regular outdoor activities. This workout is one that I created for a small Upper West Side Manhattan gym where I led classes for a week pretty much for the heck of it. (I wanted to get out … [Read more...] about Stuck Indoors?

Cruise Control Kettlebell Swing Workout Inspired by Dan John
Before we get into it, please be sure to check out my recent interview with original Battling Ropes System creator, John Brookfield! I was surprised at more than a few of his answers - and am that much more psyched to attend the upcoming Battling Ropes Instructor Certification workshop! OK! So, once again I revisited a favorite Dan John article to read up on a particular … [Read more...] about Cruise Control Kettlebell Swing Workout Inspired by Dan John
Two Crucial Cues for Kettlebell Swings and Rock Stacking
What in the world could rock stacking and kettlebell swing technique possibly have in common? Turns out quite a lot... right down to some seriously specific key phrases! :) I watched this excellent video the other day and two very familiar phrases stood out immediately. If you train with me or have trained with me in the past they'll jump out to you, too! See the importance … [Read more...] about Two Crucial Cues for Kettlebell Swings and Rock Stacking
Descending Ladder Kettlebell and Sandbag Burpees Workout With How-To Video
Originally I wrote a version of this sandbag and kettlebell workout for one of my very fit clients. Halfway through her session, I realized I was envious and would be doing a version of it myself that very evening! Descending ladder workouts are a lot of fun AND they let you get in a ton of high quality, strict form reps. When I write a descending ladder workout for someone, … [Read more...] about Descending Ladder Kettlebell and Sandbag Burpees Workout With How-To Video
Backyard Challenge! Using Everything in a Sequence
Earlier today I was training someone with kettlebells and had also brought out a very cool pair of custom made paralettes from Ryan Pitts of Stronger Grip. They are excellent for l-sits as well as slightly raised push-ups (we even sometimes do push up walks up and down the two of them). Later I set up the slackline, then decided to get out the throwing knives and throwing … [Read more...] about Backyard Challenge! Using Everything in a Sequence
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
Tempo Changes, Throwing Stars, Strength, Skills, Systema
Flashing back to that time when I was out at Master RKC Phil Ross's gym and martial arts studio in Ho-Ho-Kus, NJ. He had graciously invited me to participate in coaching/demonstrating with the kettlebell and bodyweight class that was scheduled for the afternoon. Though I was no stranger to Phil's TOUGH workouts (seriously...) I didn't know what he had in store for the end of … [Read more...] about Tempo Changes, Throwing Stars, Strength, Skills, Systema
