It's been a whirl-wind lately... After learning more about Josh Henkin's DVRT system and Ultimate Sandbag during a recent photoshoot (Josh's DVRT book will be published by Dragon Door in April) I was intrigued to say the very least.

A Count to 100 Kettlebell and TRX Workout
It's a Monday after a holiday weekend - a holiday notorious for various forms of overindulgence here in the USA... I didn't, but many people did.

Why Dragon Door? Why all this stuff works for me….

If you don't know what you're doing - PLEASE don't try this at home - seek out a local RKC or HKC instructor and learn the techniques correctly. Youtube and TV are not good, safe sources of information. Certain popular tv personalities have taught some fairly horrendous form to the masses over the past few years and I just really hope people aren't getting hurt. You don't … [Read more...] about Ivan’s Debut – a Kettlebell Workout and goofy story to start off your week!
