Glad today is Sunday - a day off!


Hey Everyone,

Well I am very glad today is Sunday. Man did I ever workout with the new Kettlebells on Friday and Saturday.

Friday KB workout:
3 sets of 10 reps 70 lb kb two hand swing
3 sets of 10 reps 70 lb kb single arm swing
3 sets of 5 reps 70 lb kb single arm cleans
This workout was with Lori who is a new client but really loves the kb's. She used the 26 and 36 lb kb's. I repeated this workout with Sandra on Friday afternoon she used the 26 and 36 lb kb's.

I also trained with my client Brandon who likes the weights a bit more than the kettle bells but I think he is warming up to the kb's.

Friday free weight workout:

2 sets of 15 reps 95lb per arm
1 set of 10 reps 110lb per arm
3 sets of 10-15 reps pull-ups on the chin-up bar
3 sets 15 reps of hanging abs on the ab-originals
3 sets of 15-20 reps shrugs with 125lb dumbbells per arm
3 sets of 10-15 reps bicep curls with 30-35 lb db's per arm
3 sets of 15-20 reps dips on the dip bar

Saturday workout with KB's:

Only did some demos for a few client's during their personal training time with me.

3 sets of 10 reps double hand swings with 70lb kb
3 sets of 5 reps cleans with 70lb kb per arm
3 sets of 5 reps single kb front squat below parallel
5 reps per side get- ups with the 36lb kb

My client Sherry asked if we could just do the KB workout all the time now..I said of yeah baby! Sherry on Saturday did the above workout with just the 36lb kb..very strong.

KB Workout w/ Wendy


Hey Everyone,

Well ysterday my client Wendy let me workout with her. We had a great workout and she is very strong. Here is our routine:

Wendy trained the whole session with the 36lb kb
I trained with the 53 lb kb

2 handed swings 3 sets x 30 sec intervals
double kb front squats below parallel 3sets x 5 reps holding it at the bottom about 4-5sec
double kb cleans 3sets x 5 reps
single arm swings 3 sets x 10reps to end the workout

I also swung my 70lb kb and my 88lb kb two handed swing only about 3 reps each..very heavy but I am confident I will be cleaning and snatching them soon. Getting ready for the "Beast" Baby!

New Kettlebells!


Hey Everyone,


My new KB's have arrived today! I am so psyched to get started with them. One is 70lbs and the other is 88lbs! Ouch! My rear-end hurts just typing this.


I needed to order the new KB's because I have 3 female clients who are just nailing the 35lb and 53 lb KB's.


Lauren is swinging, cleaning, pressing and snatching the 35lb

Tiffany is swinging, cleaning, pressing the 35lb and the 53lb

Wendy is swinging, cleaning, pressing and snatching the 35lb


Man I need to up my game because these ladies are no Joke!


Happy swinging!
