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 weather has finally started to get really nice in Florida, so we took the small group workout to the park today.

Orlando HKC Recap, a Shoulder Tip Video and Other Fun Stuff
It was really super that Senior RKC Beth Andrews could come down to Orlando and lead what was possibly the best HKC we've ever had. It was held at Signature Fitness where a couple of my very good friends work. The amusing part was their gym didn't really have a whole lot of kettlebells... so between two cars, we managed to transport all but three of my collection over to the … [Read more...] about Orlando HKC Recap, a Shoulder Tip Video and Other Fun Stuff
