Is this guy Kidding me?
I rememeber the first time I noticed a great lifter warm up.... Now this guy is a legit world record holder... He is a Real
Pro... So this guy goes over to the bench, lays down, he goes through his set up, he places his hands very methodically, he kinda works his feet to where he needs them... He breathes and then he picks up the bar... This bar had no weight on it!! He treats the empty bar as if it is loaded with serious weight... I was remember thinking..." this guy is a little dramatic"!! What I didn't know then that I know now is that this guy never misses his lifts... He never misses! He treats the bar the same way no matter what...
What is the point you might be thinking? The point is that when you lift light weights, you are training your Central Nervous System as well as your muscular system... Perfecting the right technique takes place with sub maximal loads... This is how you can spot a professional, they treat light weights with the same seriousness as heavy loads... Don't take light weights lightly.

Kettlebell Hangover Today...
I woke up sore and grumpy today... My legs, back, shoulders, hands, feet, elbows, arms, and traps are achy... The only thing that isn't barking is my nose... and eyebrows seem ok, so far.... Little things seem very difficult, like those few short steps to the bathroom... Tying my sneakers... WOW... ANyway I'm up and now Im wondering why nobody ever talks the Morning after...

Who Makes it?
I am thinking about what type of person makes it in this sport. Just for the record, I am defining "Makes it" as:
A person that is healthier and more vital as a result of training and competing with Kettlebells as the chief tool used in training... Also mentally they look forward to training and improving their own results and the results of the people they teach. They are goal orientated, but also understand that results come from becoming a smarter lifter, continuously focussing on improving mechanics and movement quality, by studying, practicing and applying better and better Technique. To them the weight and numbers come after movement quality.... They appreciate the daily struggle, the ups and downs, and are in this for the long haul.. They are grateful for small improvements and remain positive during setbacks... These people are the real heros of this sport, they have jobs and kids and work stress, but they find time to train no matter what. If you are sensitive, do not ask them what they think, because they will tell you and it won't be sugar coated.. they do not have time for the "tickle tickle" approach... These are the people I love seeing at these events...
