California Garages

I have noticed a very odd thing out here. Nobody parks in the garage, not that the weather warrants it but nobody does. So what's the deal? Well let me tell you this I have never seen so many garages with big screen tvs, dart boards, pool tables, carpets and every other man cave option available.

Training yesterday was simple. 24kg get ups for 10 minutes, bottom up presses, and hack squats

What was I thinking?

Since coming back from Denmark I have been on a quest to find coffee that comes close to the coffee I had over there. Why I didn't buy some and bring it home I will never know. Lets blame it on the time change or something. Kenneth Jay did tell me that he will bring me some when he comes over for the next cert, so I have some on the way. Does anybody know where I can get some????

Yesterdays training was good. The nasty combo that I will be using at the LA cert.

The Denmark workout

The participants at the Danish RKC were put through their paces with the program minimum. This consists of swings and get ups. Now if you are using this in your training you can split the two and work swings three days a week and get up on the other two days. This covers all the bases.

At the RKC we did things a little different, of course. I ran the workout and it was very simple. Partnered up, one person does swings and the other does get ups. The person doing the get ups does one on each side while the other person does swings, then switch. The swings are timed by the person doing get ups. The set lasts for ten minutes. Women should use a 12kg and men should us at least a 24kg. If it's easy it's not heavy enough.

I have another workout that will be rearing it's ugly head at the LA cert. Remember that simple is the way to go. Don't change things just to change things.

PS Training today 24kg Get ups 10 minutes straight.

What a crew!

What a crew, W2, Kevin and I in DK, no wonder I didn't recover until yesterday. This is a trip I will never forget. There is nothing better than getting to spend time with people that live life. All of us enjoyed every second of this trip and would do it again in a minute!!

Kilt training DK

Thanks RIF!!!

Kevin Perrone is a ROCK STAR!

In the streets of Denmark Sunday night after the cert.

I'm a mess

I talked to my good friend David Whitley yesterday and he told me about the Danish bird flu. From the sounds of it I have the same issues going on. I have been light headed, hungry, and whooped since I landed. I taught class this morning and it was like an out of body experience. I'm going to try to get things back in order slowly but surely. I think some swings will help me reset things later today.

Home

I just got home, holy crap the clock says 8:38 pm on Tuesday and my body thinks it's 5:37am on Wednesday. WOW what a trip!!! My team did great I'm glad that I was able to work with all of them. Denmark is one great place to be, I wish I could have stayed a bit longer.

The RKC is like nothing else on the planet. I have said it before and will say it again. The RKC is a life changing experience to all those that attend, instructors included. I thought I was going to be able to ramble on here but my mind won't work right now. I guess I will try again tomorrow.

Day 2

Team Nepodal is looking strong!!!! They have taken a 180 degree turn in the last two days. I guess it is because of their great instructor. I have been lucky with this group, they take direction very well and it shows.

Denmark is an incredible place I feel very lucky for being invited to teach this certification. I love spreading the RKC word, I'm lucky that I can do something that I love.

PS check out Rifs blog for some great video clips from the last couple of days.

Day one in Denmark

Day one in the books and all went great. I taught the clean and ran the second workout of the day. I have a great team and they are coming along nicely. We have two more days of pain coming, I hope they are up for it. I have to go to dinner so I will check in tomorrow and we will see how they fair.
