Club Swinging Workshop...

The Certified Indian Club Specialist workshop is set for March 12-13 2011 and is open to all interested individuals:

I have the honor of teaching this second CICS workshop. It will be a great opportunity to get dialed in on Classical Club Swinging as taught by Dr. Ed Thomas.
Emphasis will not only be on learning the fundamental Club Swinging movements and postures as laid out in the Club Swinging Essentials DVD and Manual but also instructional tips and progressions not covered in that product.

Starting KB Muscle Program
I am starting Geoff Neupert's Kettlebell Muscle program and had my first workout yesterday.
Now I am adding a "break-in" period of reduced volume (sets of 3 instead of 5) for 3 weeks since I remember how challenging the program was when I gave it a test drive for Geoff and I know I need a bit of time to ease into it.

I will not be posting the details of my workouts while using KB Muscle since all the details are provided in Geoff's excellent book. Double 24 kg Kbs will be used and I will be adding in Get-up and Swing days in between KB Muscle days.

Why follow KB Muscle?
#1 - Geoff writes some of the best programs in the KB community.
#2 - I need to free up my brain and as Dan John says "I need to - Just do this."
#3 - Who doesn't like a program that gets them more muscle and better conditioning?
#4 - I will actually be home for a few weeks and able to follow a program.
