This weird workout is a great excuse to get out quite a few matched pairs of kettlebells - it's also a great one to try with a workout partner (especially if they have the extra kettlebells you might need). Pool your resources and mix up the challenge! By the way, 18kg kettlebells are back in stock at Dragon Door, and there are a few opportunities in the main circuit where you … [Read more...] about A Doubly Gnarly Kettlebell Workout!
Revisiting The Descender Workout for Kettlebells and Bodyweight
One of the greatest things about posting more and revitalizing this blog (did you know it's been around since 2009) is having new eyes on it. These new eyes find older posts (and often typos, which I do appreciate, btw) and bring them back up for discussion. This happened last week as a new Instagram follower found an older post which had a workout embedded in it -- one that … [Read more...] about Revisiting The Descender Workout for Kettlebells and Bodyweight
Kettlebell Double Trouble Combo Two Ways
Once again, I wrote a workout for an intermediate client, then felt the need to write a version of it specific to my own needs. I'll present both of them to you here. I can't get over how much fun it is to train outside with kettlebells and rocks.* While I ended up doing my version of the workout indoors (it's been getting dark so early... and it's easy to lose the kettlebells … [Read more...] about Kettlebell Double Trouble Combo Two Ways
Double Kettlebell Fun Time – Hotel Parking Lot Edition
I got dragged out of town for a family event this weekend and well, had some frustration to work out about it - especially since it meant missing a fun time open house at Crossfit Firebase (complete with Paleo food demos and samples), as well as a very cool car show too (10th Anniversary of Concours). But it is what it is, so I put myself up in a nice hotel and met up with … [Read more...] about Double Kettlebell Fun Time – Hotel Parking Lot Edition

Double Trouble III – Let Me Give You a Complex – Kettlebell Workout
It was one of those "what am I missing" kind of days - I had been doing GTG* pull ups and tension exercises at random between household and computer tasks, but... it wasn't enough, I was getting antsy so I opted to just head out to the field next to my building with a pair of 16kg kettlebells and "see what happened" Here's what happened - feel free to follow along … [Read more...] about Double Trouble III – Let Me Give You a Complex – Kettlebell Workout
Hanging Around at Home – Kettlebell and TRX Workout
I sometimes make the joke that my apartment, or the surrounding fields, the parking space etc is the site of some of the most intense training in town - not entirely sure if that's true, but its fun to say, and well - until someone proves differently, I'm going to keep saying it. Its extra fun to say because for whatever reason we've had two verified celebrity sightings … [Read more...] about Hanging Around at Home – Kettlebell and TRX Workout
Assessment and Mis-Matched Kettlebell Fun
After writing a blog post about how I will no longer try to weigh in at 123.5lbs for the 12kg kettlebell when performing the RKC kettlebell snatch test, I figured it was a good time to see where I stood with the 16kg test. Start with joint mobility of course - Open ended fun time - 100 snatches with a 16kg to "see what happens" and how long it takes Mis-matched … [Read more...] about Assessment and Mis-Matched Kettlebell Fun
