I just finished the full second week of “Kettlebell Muscle”. It’ s a program that puts double kettlebell work 3xweek. It’s hard, but I’m ready to move up on weight. I feel like I’m getting stronger already (I know it’s just mental – in that I’m getting used to the movements and amount of energy [...]

I just got in Geoff Nuepert’s MRKC new book “Kettlebell Muscle”. It’s really pretty good. It phrased some things that I liked. I am not going to write a review of it on here, but will later. Right now, I’m simply reporting that I am going to stick with the program to see how it [...]

With things being so busy, and some lofty goals for strength this summer, I am doing a great deal of research on the less is more principle. Push hard for 20 good minutes 3xweek, and control nutrition really well and see results like never before! I am testing it out. I take a little longer [...]

Last week was very busy. We grew by 5 new clients. It felt good to have some time for me this weekend to after such a great week. Because of the busy week, I did not get in many workout sessions for myself. Wednesday of last week I did 8 sets of front squats with light [...]

Sunday I spent all day on the platform. I had a kettlebell workshop on Saturday, and it prevented me from my usual time with the lifting group in Frederick MD. I did get in some good lifts though finishing with about 30 attempts on snatches and 18 on clean and jerk. My best on the [...]

Today was a great day back in the gym. Really took my time. Warmups with getups and windmills and lots of joint mobility I then worked up to 60kg push jerks supersetted with front squats and single leg RDL’s I kept the weight the same on the PJ and RDL’s and laddered up the reps, [...]

I did ok at the meet on Saturday. I tied my previous PR’s. Not bad for not having concentrated on weightlifting this year due to the studio opening. Today I am swamped with work, but am going to rework things to make sure that 2-3xweek I hit things HARD. Today I worked back into things. [...]

Today I wanted to simply feel strong. It was a focus on joint mobility and tension. After 20 mins of foam rolling, yoga, plank work, hip flexor stretch and work I got into a few warm up sets on front squat with the barbell and clean and press with the kettlebell. My work sets were just [...]

The world record weightlifting record holder, Hossein Rezazadeh, only lifts a good 10 reps! I like the idea that volume on the day is not the goal, but rather volume on the week. Choosing to do a very few movements – but doing them really well – yields better results than the 100 exercises available [...]

I took Saturday off because I was at a workshop presenting on kettlebell training. Sunday I hit it hard with front squat lunges, TRX lunges with heavy weight, DB rows, and TRX pushups. My glutes and adductors felt it all day yesterday, so I just did a ladder of Turkish Getups with 24kg bell to [...]
