WHO Are YOU? The Man In The Arena vs The Spectator
I've been doing some soul searching lately and I will likely do less putting info "out there" such as videos, instagram, etc and more focusing on grounding on myself. My energy gets pulled when I frequently catch myself more dedicated to the very things that the person on the other end of the line needs to be dedicated to. Rather than continue down a road of disappointment and frustration, I will let things be the way they are. Not everyone wants it. Not everyone has the desire to be … [Read more...]

Instead of getting disappointed I get fired up by reminding myself to have ZERO expectations of people. I get … [Read more...]

2 Critical Kettlebell Technique Tips
It was a brutally cold winter night. The year escapes me? 2003, I think..... I took the drive up north into Bergen County, NJ to pick up my first set of Russian Kettlebells, a pair of 53s and a pair of 70s. I remember being nervous, questioning why the hell I just spent $550 (With Discount!!) on only 2 sets of Kettlebells. I was already heavily in debt from years of poor lifestyle decisions but I couldn't stop thinking about using Kettlebells for my training. Since then, it's been well over … [Read more...]
