Pretty sure I got this complex or a version of it from Tim Shuman and/or Geoff Neupert (who is really good at that whole complex thing), although after talking to some friends it's actually really really close to Jon Engum's Deep Six workout Anyhow, one of my clients did a doubles (not the snatches) version this week as well. Its a good way to practice all six of the … [Read more...] about Practicing the RKC 6 – A Kettlebell Workout

It really did change everything – at least in my experience….
Recently on Facebook, Dragon Door and John DuCane asked what everyone thought was "the most influential fitness book of all time?" Of course, questions like that give me brain freeze because I think back to the dawn of civilization and consider all the books in other languages I haven't read, etc. in short - total overthinking. I should have just looked over to one of the … [Read more...] about It really did change everything – at least in my experience….
Kettlebell Workout Inspired by the Chicago RKC Workshop
RKC Workshops are ALWAYS inspiring - even if you're there running around as a sober theoretical lovechild of Barbara Walters and Hunter S. Thompson. (I was interviewing people at the event - which was a fantastic experience I hope to repeat). During a few moments of resting/observation/backing up files to my computer I managed to catch a few of the lectures and brought home … [Read more...] about Kettlebell Workout Inspired by the Chicago RKC Workshop

End of Orlando RKC – Sunday Part Three – The Love of Friends, Heavy Shadows, Victory, Resolve.
It was such a great feeling knowing that 90% of the people I invited to participate as "victims" for the teaching test portion of the Orlando RKC showed up - but what I didn't know is that many of them stuck around to watch the grueling conclusion... the dreaded oft-talked-about-in-hushed-tones GRAD WORKOUT. This workout must be completed in order to become an RKC - even if … [Read more...] about End of Orlando RKC – Sunday Part Three – The Love of Friends, Heavy Shadows, Victory, Resolve.
More Questions about RKC Workshops
Q: How big a deal is it to stay at the hotel? I'm local to the cert, and it wouldn't be a huge deal to drive home (15-30 mins depending on traffic). Also, I have a 2 1/2 yr old and a 7-month old, and I'm thinking that putting my mommy hat back on might bring me out of a zone I need to stay in. Every time I think that staying in a hotel so close to home is silly, I think about … [Read more...] about More Questions about RKC Workshops
