Hanging with the Kavadlo Brothers

May 29, 2014 By Adrienne Harvey Leave a Comment

Brooklyn Strong Support Press

After a recent PCC Workshop, when I was helping Al and Danny take some of their fun pictures around downtown Minneapolis, they mentioned working on a new book and collecting photos for it, and asked if I could come up at some point soon for a few.   We talked about some tentative dates etc and of course in my head, I was already setting things in order to make it happen.   If … [Read more...] about Hanging with the Kavadlo Brothers

Not One But TWO?? Decided Today Was the Day To Try Muscle Ups Again!

November 5, 2012 By Adrienne Harvey Leave a Comment

Decided today was the day - they are ugly as sin, but that'll go away with practice. I want to get rid of that slight kip too... :) But in the meantime, I am happy with being able to do two muscle ups from a dead hang today. I was using some awesome hints from Al Kavadlo and his book Raising the Bar - and of course Convict Conditioning (which calls these "sentry pull ups" btw - … [Read more...] about Not One But TWO??

Amasai Calm

Poking around the Beyond Organic website yesterday, and placing the rest of my order I discovered that they have UPDATED the Amasai variety pack to include the new flavors. (Mom's Mother's Day gift was the first part of this month's order - and you should be very very envious of what she received.)   Those of you who have tried Amasai know of it's incredible nutritional impact, … [Read more...] about Forgive me, I couldn’t resist….
