Before leaving for NJ/NY last week to train with Master RKC Phil Ross, I wanted to make sure to make the absolute most of the training time up there, so over the past few weeks I had ramped up both my strength endurance activities, as well as generally the high intensity cardio (heavy swings, sprawls*, Ultimate Sandbag drills like rotational lunges, and things that nearly have … [Read more...] about The Power of Working on the Kettlebell Basics, a Workout and a Video (mostly about food)

Notes on Primal Move Ocala, Organic Food, and a Fairly Evil Workout
Yesterday's Primal Move workshop in Ocala, Florida was a TON of fun.

Everyone who attended was very engaged, asked wonderful questions, and worked together as a great group. I'm curious to see what they come up with in their own training, … [Read more...] about Notes on Primal Move Ocala, Organic Food, and a Fairly Evil Workout

Kettlebell Workout As Inspired by the Super Human Training Workshop
Taken from my workshop notes, and the really cool programming ideas in I Will Be Iron, this workout is surprisingly simple but as the participants in yesterday's kettlebell small group will tell you, VERY intense.

Always begin with joint mobility - and a few … [Read more...] about Kettlebell Workout As Inspired by the Super Human Training Workshop
The Ultimate Rebellion: Rejecting Punishment and Deprivation
Something had been bugging me for a VERY long time.
