I have to thank my friend Marsha (and her boobs) for posting a pic of her new shirt on Facebook and inspiring this post. It got me thinking. Have body images changed that much for women recently? And does it have anything to do with the CrossFit movement and the changes that are going on [...]
I’ve been working with some form of a Paleo or Paleolithic diet for over 6 years now. I’ve written a lot about the diet and I’ve even summed up the basics in a Paleo Primer and my Free eBook download. I’ve also been part of the Kettlebell community since 2007 and the CrossFit community since [...]
What do you REALLY need to get in a good workout? My life is a bit disorganized and crazy at the moment. Let’s call it “fluid” or “in flux” instead I’m living in my family’s little summer cottage in Old Saybrook and I have a “limited” amount of stuff to train with. I have: An [...]
I want to give a HUGE thank you to Valery Fedorenko for the videos he’s been posting on YouTube. There is so much to learn in each of them. For me, this what really makes Kettlebell lifting so interesting – the constant refinement and nuances you can find when someone like Fedorenko shows you where [...]

In some wacky way, though, it’s probably the most important training related post I’ve ever written… IMPORTANT – WATCH THE VIDEO FIRST AND THEN READ THE POST!!!!! Just what exactly is your health worth to you? It’s worth a whole lot to me. At [...]
Every once in a while I have a perfect moment where I realize why I do what I do. I had one of those tonight. I think for all of us it’s very easy to get wrapped up in the day to day grind and the millions of little tasks we have to do that [...]
I had a really interesting experience today. I vaguely know someone who’s in the mainstream fitness and bodybuilding industry and I contacted this person about possibly talking to a friend of mine who is considering fitness modeling as a career choice. Now, my friend is still in High School and is looking into careers for [...]
There’s a question I ask myself over and over again: “How do you become outstanding?” I ask myself that question about a lot of different topics. For the most part though, I ask myself that question with respect to physical training – martial arts, CrossFit and Kettlebells. I firmly believe that the right behaviors repeated [...]
Kettlebells will change everything in fitness and strength training. So will CrossFit. Mixed Martial Arts will forever change the martial arts landscape AND the fitness world. What’s going on here? “Old” fitness is dead. So are traditional martial arts. We’re in Web 2.0 and World 2.0. Everything is changing and growing and evolving. What works [...]
Gaining a deeper understanding of the RKC Minimum Program… Something that eluded me when I first read Enter The Kettlebell by Pavel was the seemingly inordinate amount of time and space he devoted to getting ready to swing. He goes into a ton of detail on picking the bell up, squat and deadlift form, wall [...]
