First off, I want to introduce Sebastian Müller, RKC Team Leader over in Germany. I was able to meet him at the 2013 PCC in Sweden (which was so epic that we are all still talking about it...). Anyway, Sebastian has some absolutely great ideas about training, and this most recent he has contributed to the RKC Blog is certainly no exception! While the kettlebell get-up is … [Read more...] about Powers of the Get-Up, One HAND Pull Up Tips Via Video, American Ninja Warrior Application Turned In, and Upcoming Adventures

Giving the SSST a Try and Some Interesting Ideas
One of the things I most enjoy doing is conducting written interviews for Dragon Door. This has put me in touch with such a variety of inspiring people, and has even made lasting friendships too. Being able to share their stories is an honor that is not taken lightly. The other great thing about the interviews is they often give me ideas about challenges I'd like to try. … [Read more...] about Giving the SSST a Try and Some Interesting Ideas

Breaking Mental (Rep Range) Blocks… A Sandbag, Bodyweight, Kettlebell Workout
(Another small group workout is coming soon, but I wanted to share another "getting the New Year started right" workout with you first! The workout written below is seen in it's "beta" form in my notebook above on the right side of the page... With handwriting that bad, maybe I should have been a doctor?!?) This workout certainly isn't for beginners, though with some … [Read more...] about Breaking Mental (Rep Range) Blocks… A Sandbag, Bodyweight, Kettlebell Workout
Advanced Regressions for the Pistol Squat
Wait.. WHAT? What do you mean by advanced regressions? Basically the regressions in the video below are for people who are very close to getting a first pistol squat or for those who want to start upping their rep ranges :) In my opinion, the end-all-be-all reference for doing the infamous and coveted pistol squat (one leg squat) from the absolute very beginning is Convict … [Read more...] about Advanced Regressions for the Pistol Squat
The 2014 Send Off New Year’s Eve Workout…
This was a ton of fun, and plenty challenging. I designed this for one of my workout partners and I, she's recently discovered that she can press the 14kg kettlebell, so here's what we did. Taking only a single 14kg and 20kg kettlebell out to the park with the promise to "share" made things interesting (especially for me, since I ended up with the 20kg fairly often). For the … [Read more...] about The 2014 Send Off New Year’s Eve Workout…
A Bear (Complex) in the Park — Workout for Kettlebells and Ultimate Sandbags!
Kept going back and forth with how to "rank" this one (I'd type out one line, and then think "oh yeah advanced" type out the next and think "intermediate" then realized... if you are comfortable with all the exercises in the workout then the "level" is really determined by the weights you choose, and the length of the rest breaks you take... so since I had to pick something, I … [Read more...] about A Bear (Complex) in the Park — Workout for Kettlebells and Ultimate Sandbags!
Ask GiryaGirl: Thanksgiving, Anywhere Workouts… and a Few Random Ones…
While Thanksgiving is tomorrow, some of this Q+A may be a little on the "late" side but maybe not! Q: What are you cooking or sharing for Thanksgiving? A: Even though some of the family has said "don't worry we have it all here", I'm always one to bring something. For one I like to share, and for two it means I know that there will be a lower carb option with no hidden … [Read more...] about Ask GiryaGirl: Thanksgiving, Anywhere Workouts… and a Few Random Ones…
Upstairs, Downstairs… a Workout for Kettlebells, Stairwell, and Bodyweight
This workout certainly isn't for everyone since it uses a "found staircase" I suppose a stepmill could be used for it, but part of the "fun" of the workout is self-regulating how fast you're taking the stairs, and sharing heckles with your training partner related to who has the inside or outside of the staircase.... Here in Florida we don't have many buildings with a ton of … [Read more...] about Upstairs, Downstairs… a Workout for Kettlebells, Stairwell, and Bodyweight
Let’s Heat Up the Gym! (a Kettlebell Workout)
Recently one of the most faithful attendees of our small group requested to work on stamina... Not a problem! Also, for Florida, since it dipped under 50 degrees (Fahrenheit) that meant everyone was running around freezing, or were gleefully wearing any and all of the "cold weather clothes" that they never get to wear. Seriously, you would have thought a bizzard was on … [Read more...] about Let’s Heat Up the Gym! (a Kettlebell Workout)
