The schedule has been over the top lately, but that's no excuse. So, I've made a few changes to my routine. If I've gotten enough rest (which has become a bigger priority), I'd do at least one, and sometimes two *nearly* all-out sessions. Since I was in Detroit early this week (where we somehow managed to walk between 6-7 miles each day), I had to make sure this workout was a … [Read more...] about Weird Weekend Challenge Workout

45th Birthday Workout – Groundhog Day Edition
The funny thing about birthday workouts is that the older you get, the wilder the rep ranges get... though in all cases, birthday workouts are an exercise in creativity - how can you use a set of numbers in a way that makes sense in a workout for your current level. This workout is fairly advanced, so if you try it, please modify it to make sense for you and your training … [Read more...] about 45th Birthday Workout – Groundhog Day Edition
How and Why to Use EMOM Workouts
The Mid-Week EMOM Workout Challenge Over the past few months, a friend and I have been doing very challenging EMOM workouts every Wednesday afternoon - it's been a great way to get a lot of productive lifting done in a short period of time. And because we've both been under a fair amount of stress, this also lets us workout but also give our brains a bit of a rest -- instead … [Read more...] about How and Why to Use EMOM Workouts
EMOM-A-Thon
Last week was a weird week (wait... have we been saying this every week for the past year?) Regardless, last week called for a serious challenge mid-week. I wrote up the original version of this for a local advanced client (who wanted to get in a workout but was mentally "done" because of Zoom meetings), but ended up testing it myself as well. The intensity is not for … [Read more...] about EMOM-A-Thon
Kettlebell and Sandbag EMOM Workout with Video, Plus Weighing the Lifting Stones!
All my lady fit-pro friends seem to have photos where they're laughing about a mystery thing. Here's mine... actually, since it's a video frame grab, you can be pretty sure I'm laughing at myself. I've been scrubbing through old footage finding things that need to be edited so I can share them and ran across this little EMOM workout explanation I'd meant to put with an … [Read more...] about Kettlebell and Sandbag EMOM Workout with Video, Plus Weighing the Lifting Stones!
New Tire, New EMOM Workout, Loads of FUN!

A Fast and “Foxy” EMOM Workout for Kettlebells and Bodyweight
In the course of working on a top secret special video project (hinted at the other day on social media) I've recently reintroduced the sumo squat back into my regular workout rotation. For fun, I decided to add it into this little 12 minute EMOM workout - I basically did it as a break, as there is more workout to come this evening with some skill and more max strength work. … [Read more...] about A Fast and “Foxy” EMOM Workout for Kettlebells and Bodyweight
In Praise of Consistency, an EMOM Kettlebell Workout and Programming Around Daily Activities
Suddenly having access to a great outdoor training area has inspired me to step up my daily training and general activity level. Thankfully, by this age I've figured out that I can't go "all in" all the time. Recently, there's been a great series of articles by Dan John on DragonDoor.com and the first one (go read all five though) addresses the idea of consistency and … [Read more...] about In Praise of Consistency, an EMOM Kettlebell Workout and Programming Around Daily Activities
Another EMOM Challenge AKA Oops I Did 200 Kettlebell Swings and 40 Pull Ups at 10PM
The subject of EMOM workouts came up on the Dragon Door forums recently and of course that made me immediately want to do one! It was late at night but I figured I had 20 minutes to spend wisely. After a short joint mobility warm up (feel free to throw in some light weight or no weight get-ups) I set up the interval timer app (I use Interval Timer Pro from Deltaworks) on my … [Read more...] about Another EMOM Challenge AKA Oops I Did 200 Kettlebell Swings and 40 Pull Ups at 10PM
