Training with Val

Much awesomeness.  Included:

New FMS Stuff

Squat Form Work

Swing Form Work

Squats felt terrible.  Truth be told, I'm just weak at them 'cause I've been avoiding them for years.  Of course, for years my left knee hurt when I did them.  Now that I'm foam rolling my left IT Band for five minutes every day, my knee is fine.

Swings felt really good.  Val says my one kettlebell swing is really good.  My two kettlebell swing still needs work.  Really liked the "horse stance" drill she gave me.

My Mentors

  • The Landmark Forum
    Remove all of the mental blocks in your fitness. Find out why "trying really hard" and "wanting it really bad" hasn't gotten you to the level of fitness you want. If you feel "stuck", this is how you get to the next level.
  • Z-Health Performance Solutions
    Transform the way your body moves. Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan move so powerfully and so gracefully because their mind has a better "map" of their body. Z Health clears up where your body's map has fuzzy spots, and in turn you are stronger, faster, more powerful, and more graceful.
  • Pavel Tsatsouline
    Pavel is the Russian Kettlebell Head Instructor. This is the school for strength and fitness like no other.
  • Dan John
    Dan is a world class strength coach who simplifies strength and fitness in a powerful and unbelievable way. I had a breakthrough as a trainer when I heard him say "People think it takes hard work to produce high level athletes. It doesn't take hard work. Producing high level athletes takes play."

    Certified Kettlebell Instructor

    • RKC Certified

      I'm a huge fan of all things RKC and Dragon Door - that's why I buy my kettlebells there, I buy kettlebell books from there, and I even got my kettlebell certification there. I'm an affiliate, and I get a commission if you get stuff from them, and that pays for me to be able to spend time writing this blog. I'm also friends with everyone there, and they're good people. So what I'm saying is, my opinion is a little biased towards the RKC, but it's only because I think it's the best kettlebell information organization out there, and I've invested my kettlebell education there.
