Typically it is something like this:

Prep work = Foam Roller, ASLR, Brettzel
I have started to incorporate a little tumbling - nothing extreme just some forward and backward rolls etc... and this feels great

24 kg SLDL for a set or two to check in with the hips
24 kg Overhead Squat and Sott's Press practice

Weighted Pull-ups 3-5 sets
Front squat (barbell)
Bench
Deadlift
Full Contact Twist or Ab Wheel

Feeling good and making progress all around

HKC Alexandria VA

53 attendees made this one of the largest HKCs ever!

I had 9 incredible RKC assistants that made it all possible - Thank you!

Darius Gilbert and his crew from Dynamic Solutions made this a great workshop and if you are in the Northern VA area check out their studio!

Time to rest up a bit...

Catching up - Looking back - Looking forward

I have been training and traveling again already in 2011 (trip #3 this weekend).

Two movies that are excellent!
Black Swan
and
The King's Speech

Black Swan is an intense psychological thriller and The King's Speech is filled with great acting and character study.

2010 -
25+ workshops/trips
Overall a great year personally and professionally.

2011 is filling up and promising to be another exciting year of teaching.
