Happy New Year to all my fellow Gireviks and Kettlebell enthusiasts!
After sleeping in until 9:00 a.m. (so nice), I got busy with a traditional breakfast of pancakes, eggs, bacon, and coffee. I had enough food to last me until well into the afternoon.
Tonight is the anniversary of the first day I met my wife 5 years ago, [...]

I took a few days off since the IGX Challenge, and have been dealing with some personal issues as well, so 9 days had gone by since I picked up a kettlebell. Yes, I’m ashamed to admit it, but there it is.
I’m determined to continue to train at least twice a week before the end [...]

This past September I discovered a fellow kettlebell blogger who issued a challenge to complete 5000 kettlebell snatches in a month. The bad thing was I discovered it two weeks into the challenge. I wanted to participate, but I was already two weeks behind. At first glance it seemed like I had a lot of ground to make up.

Kettlebell Challenge Workouts
After working Monday night/Tuesday morning, I completed a long cycle-focused workout consisting of the following, which I named the “DKC”:
Long Cycle Clean & Jerk
Clean
Half snatch
Unfortunately, I only slept for about 3 hours prior to my workout, and I had a tough time getting it done. I continued to use my 20 kg kettlebell [...]

Did a test workout for the December Kettlebell Challenge (http://tinyurl.com/5fwhyl).
I used my 20 kg kettlebell and got 170 snatches and 50 long cycle clean and jerks.
As you can see, I need some work with the Long Cycle Clean and Jerk (LCCJ). To raise my numbers, I’m going to alternate WKC Kettlebell Fitness workouts with a Snatch-focused [...]

This is the week to get back in the swing of things as my work schedule has given me six days off! Sort of like a mini-vacation.
As a result, I’m taking advantage of the free time to get my kettlebell workouts back on track (Mon-Wed-Fri), and to have my wife join me.
As it’s been a while [...]

Saturday. November 15. 2008. The “Redwood” level 3.
I worked graveyards the previous night and woke up after about 5 hours of sleep. I warmed-up with the Kettlebell Foundation series which prepared my muscles and joints for the workout to come.
After chalking my PB 20 kg kettlebell, I set my gymboss timer to tone at 1 minute [...]

I woke up at 2:00 p.m. after working all night and decided to get a workout in before eating. I’m still working on the “Redwood” kettlebell fitness workout and stayed at level 2 today.
I began with Scott Sonnon’s warm-up from his Kettlebell Foundation DVD and wouldn’t you know, had [...]

There’s been a lot of discussion on some of the non-DD forums regarding the World Kettlebell Club’s soon to be released Kettlebell Fitness manual. While the WKC has been promoting and teaching their fitness methods, they have been slow to release their written version.
Recently, Rmax Gym released the Official Kettlebell Foundation DVD Series from Scott [...]
