The Great 38, A Birthday Workout Challenge!
Even though I'd made a "38 birthday workout" for a client a few years ago, and considered just recycling it for myself, I decided NOPE!! I need my own, and something goofily specific to what I like to do. So yes, there are pull ups involved. DEAD HANG pull ups of course... which can always been substituted out with Aussie pull ups or the fun variation I brought for my training … [Read more...] about The Great 38, A Birthday Workout Challenge!
Everything with Nothing, A Bodyweight Only Workout For Anytime, Anywhere
Coming back from the Encinitas, California PCC workshop last week meant flying out of the San Diego airport on a red eye flight from SAN to ATL to back home. And while I was thankfully upgraded on the flight from SAN to ATL, that was still just maybe 2 hours of precious sleep before hitting the ground in Atlanta and hopefully wandering into the correct terminal. Those of you … [Read more...] about Everything with Nothing, A Bodyweight Only Workout For Anytime, Anywhere

Kettlebell Small Group Workout for Adding in a Fit Beginner
Considering the skill, time, and practice required to really get good (and safe) with kettlebell swings, a challenge that surfaces many times for instructors, trainers, and coaches is in the form of someone I call a "fit beginner". In other words, this person may come into your gym with a high degree of athleticism, already in shape, and with great strength and endurance. But … [Read more...] about Kettlebell Small Group Workout for Adding in a Fit Beginner
The “Check In” Kettlebell and Bodyweight Workout… and an Introduction to Hylete!
It was time for a benchmark workout yet again. Small group had been working very hard over the past few weeks. We've been working out indoors in airconditioned comfort these days and the concern was raised that maybe we were losing our edge. I am proud to say that we most certainly aren't. But now we know that the extreme sweat earned is actually earned... not from the … [Read more...] about The “Check In” Kettlebell and Bodyweight Workout… and an Introduction to Hylete!
The Great Outdoors… A Stacking Workout Circuit
Should issue a warning to my friends/workout partners and small group whenever I start reading about things like SEALFIT or am in the early chapters of Lone Survivor and learning all about what those guys go through in Indoc and BUD/S etc. It warps my own sensibility in terms of "difficulty" when I push myself through a challenge. Now, there's this terrible little voice in … [Read more...] about The Great Outdoors… A Stacking Workout Circuit
It’s Almost a Game: A Workout for Kettlebells and Friends
Sometimes on Friday my small group class gets even smaller (some of the guys have a standing soccer commitment, etc.). Occasionally, I take this opportunity to write up a kind of "funtime" workout that is keeps the skill level basic. This allows me to participate on occasion, which I think is important because it helps me monitor the intensity of certain combiniations, rest … [Read more...] about It’s Almost a Game: A Workout for Kettlebells and Friends
“Bikini” workout – its in 2 pieces – get it?!
Now that I have your attention... hahaha. Simply called because the workout was broken up into two small pieces to fit a crazy schedule - I do this a lot actually - some days so much so that it becomes more a GTG (Grease the Groove - more on this concept later). Anyhow here's what happened: Using your accustomed kettlebell for snatching - OR if you have something a little … [Read more...] about “Bikini” workout – its in 2 pieces – get it?!
