I'm still working on editing a fun video for you with an especially interesting circuit (there's some highly functional but silly looking parts to it, thanks to my general appearance, some kids at the park gawked at what I was doing, but were unsure if it was "safe" to openly mock me. Thanks, hairdo!) Anyway that is still in the works. Look for it this weekend, so you can try … [Read more...] about Quick Workout for Hectic Times, Kettlebells, and Battling Rope!

Double Kettlebell Drills, Grip Ball Farmer’s Carries and a Tasty Prize!
Thanks to StrongerGrip.com I am now the proud owner of several fun new things. One of which is a set of the very interesting and multi-useful Grip Balls. They are steel with a heavy duty hook welded on. Last night I hooked them onto a pull up bar and was getting QUITE the challenge. They can also be used for some seriously challenging farmers walks (as pictured by my … [Read more...] about Double Kettlebell Drills, Grip Ball Farmer’s Carries and a Tasty Prize!
Podcast and Advanced Kettlebell Tutorial Video: Visit to NYC Part 3 – Checking in with Master RKC Phil Ross and Nykki Ross
There's so much material to share with you from the NYC trip that it's frankly kind of overwhelming at the moment... However, seeing as the cat is out of the bag (oh Facebook...) on the fun and informative podcast with father-daughter super-duo Master RKC Phil Ross and Nykki Ross, I wanted to share it here ASAP. To be fair, I didn't tell them that I usually upload to … [Read more...] about Podcast and Advanced Kettlebell Tutorial Video: Visit to NYC Part 3 – Checking in with Master RKC Phil Ross and Nykki Ross
How to Join the 1%… of Kettlebell and Calisthenics Strength
I forget what business summit I was attending but for good or for ill my behaviors as an iconoclast, contrarian, and overall weirdo were being verbally encouraged by the speaker. It's fun to finally be commended for going against the tide, of swimming upstream, and NOT doing what everyone else is doing. The speaker was saying that the much maligned "1%"--at … [Read more...] about How to Join the 1%… of Kettlebell and Calisthenics Strength
Travel Log and Workout:Visit to NYC Part 1 – Traveling Rings–with Video, Kettlebell & Sandbag, and MORE!
It was time to get out of town... if I have to spend too much time in Florida, I get antsy and the humidity and lack of any real relief from the heat was beginning to really wear on me. So after some clicking around and a few emails I managed to put together a little trip that would allow me to keep working some on writing and my usual business client responsibilities as well … [Read more...] about Travel Log and Workout:Visit to NYC Part 1 – Traveling Rings–with Video, Kettlebell & Sandbag, and MORE!
Three Kettlebell Get-Up Game Changers… (and a bonus controversial one) With VIDEO
Hope I’m not giving the impression that the get-up is chock full of pitfalls, peril, and potential catastrophe. But I do know that the get-up can be overwhelming and frustrating not only for kettlebell newbies but also for people trying to teach it. This post is aimed at both the people who may be new to the get up as well as the people who might be TEACHING the get … [Read more...] about Three Kettlebell Get-Up Game Changers… (and a bonus controversial one) With VIDEO
A Video for the “Short Stack” Kettlebell Workout…
A few weeks ago I shared the little pancake image at the end of this post and a brief explanation on this blog post: The "Short Stack" kettlebell workout. But then realized that some folks might like to see what it looks like all put together. It always makes sense on paper, then of course translating it to real life can be a different manner entirely. Here's a video of … [Read more...] about A Video for the “Short Stack” Kettlebell Workout…
Super Scaleable Three-Move EMOM (Every Minute on the Minute) Workout for Home or Anywhere
Those of you following along on Instagram today you may have noticed at the end of one of the videos I kind of... attack a bowl of pepperment bark at Williams-Sonoma while on an otherwise innocent errand to pick up a box of Mavea water filters. Long story short, I might have had a little bit of a sugar rush when I came home, but I also wanted to get some reps in, and some small … [Read more...] about Super Scaleable Three-Move EMOM (Every Minute on the Minute) Workout for Home or Anywhere
Short on Time Kettlebell Workout Variations…
It's been humid... REALLY annoyingly hot and humid for this time of year. Unfortunately I keep forgetting that. Last week a friend and I decided to go and do a favorite kettlebell challenge, the SSST (Secret Service Snatch Test) and it was so humid that it even tore up her hands which I previously thought were made of some kind of teflon material. As for myself, I could … [Read more...] about Short on Time Kettlebell Workout Variations…
Kettlebell Workout: The Short Stack, and a New Book From Danny Kavadlo
So... I hate to admit this, but back in the day (mid-late 90s) many of us would enjoy a post-club trip to the ol' IHOP. My standard food order was the "Short Stack" which wasn't a completely obscene number of pancakes. They'd still sit like rocks, but it was a good time with friends that mattered most at that time. You may be amused to find out that I was never too keen on … [Read more...] about Kettlebell Workout: The Short Stack, and a New Book From Danny Kavadlo
