Hinted at this one a little last week - then after a few more conversations with folks realized that I likely need to have another post really giving the ways that this kind of workout can be useful especially for those who are preparing to pass the RKC Snatch test. It solves just one piece of the puzzle but there are several important pieces that must be in place to … [Read more...] about Advanced Kettlebell Challenge Workout For 1/12/2020

A Benchmark Workout to Finish 2019 Strong – Fan Bike Encouraged But Not Required
The workout here is for general intermediate/advanced fitness enthusiasts and is adapted from two workouts I recently created for two different advanced clients. Both of them have many differences, but the main thing they share is their drive for excellence and strength. I am honored to train both of them, and it's a joy to plan their next steps towards achieving their … [Read more...] about A Benchmark Workout to Finish 2019 Strong – Fan Bike Encouraged But Not Required
Pre-Holiday Park Challenge Workout
Normally my Saturday is a loose-ends tying, wandering around and figuring stuff out day (as you may have noticed via Instagram). That's still on the schedule, but given holiday demands, my fellow type-a maniac advanced client and I moved our normal "Sunday challenge" to Satuday instead. While it was about 38 degrees when we got started, I knew the light hoodie I was wearing … [Read more...] about Pre-Holiday Park Challenge Workout
Backyard Challenge Crusher: Kettlebell, Pull-Ups, Mobility, Calisthenics Workout
It's "been a week" and while my immediate area was spared the real wrath of hurricane Michael (well tropical storm by the time it reached us up here), clients and friends in the did lose power for a bit from downed trees and high winds. In fact, those of you who follow me on Instagram may have seen the "story" photo I posted from a business meeting that continued in the dark, … [Read more...] about Backyard Challenge Crusher: Kettlebell, Pull-Ups, Mobility, Calisthenics Workout
Revisiting a 300 Kettlebell and Bodyweight Workout…
Around 2011 or so, these "300" workouts were very very popular. It started off because everyone and their uncle's pet cat was wanting to get in on the whole "this is what those shredded actors in that 300 movie did" craze. Oddly enough, some of us found that writing a workout to include 300 meaningful reps was actually not such a bad idea after all... especially for a full-body … [Read more...] about Revisiting a 300 Kettlebell and Bodyweight Workout…
Overachiever’s Delight: Advanced Kettlebell and Calisthenics Workout for the Motivated
(The name is a riff on "International Delight" brand products) This workout had several things that inspired it - but the main inspirations for it have been a couple of my current clients! These two don't know each other (one is remote) but they have a lot in common, especially that they're EXTREMELY motivated and love a challenge. Like... a LOT. Many times I'll design … [Read more...] about Overachiever’s Delight: Advanced Kettlebell and Calisthenics Workout for the Motivated
High Intensity Circuit…
There's not a lot of truth in the phrase "Circle of Vom" as it seemed to have the opposite effect on my workout partner... she showed up wobbly from a super stressful week but afterwards was feeling better than ever. I hope this workout has the same effect on you if you try it! Warm up with Joint Mobility 3x Rounds: 1/1 Get-ups, at the top, do three … [Read more...] about High Intensity Circuit…
Backyard Brawl: Kettlebell and Bodyweight Workout
The people who train with me tend to be extremely motivated. This is good, I am encouraging of course, but I'm not a cheerleader. We don't hand out trophies here all willy-nilly. Once in a while I'll have a local client who will either show up with a high level of athleticism and/or really take to the training in a big way--then we keep training, but I offer a free "work out … [Read more...] about Backyard Brawl: Kettlebell and Bodyweight Workout
Easter Egg Hunt Kettlebell Workout
It might look cute but... it's not for beginners! Each time an egg is found, check the chart and put in some reps. Feel free to swap the burpees for another power move like a few tire flips, a sled push, etc. Be sure you don't hide too many eggs... We plan to hide 4 per color so that the totals come to 40 burpees, 20 per side kettlebell presses, 60 kettlebell swings … [Read more...] about Easter Egg Hunt Kettlebell Workout
The Strange Friends Kettlebell Workout and Details on the Dragon Door Sale Page Kettlebells
A while back, I nicknamed a mis-matched kettlebell carry "Strange Friends". Not only are the two kettlebells used different sizes, they're also carried in different ways. It's a physical and mental challenge to say the least. I first tried it after doing a kettlebell windmill with a lighter kettlebell on top and a heavier kettlebell below. After picking both up I thought, "Huh, … [Read more...] about The Strange Friends Kettlebell Workout and Details on the Dragon Door Sale Page Kettlebells
