Jackie Murphy Snatched a 20 Kilo bell tonight-3/31/08

Comrades,

Tonight, sometime between 6:30pm and 7pm Jackie Murphy picked up the 20kilo bell and snatched it beautifully once on the L and the R. This is after about 1/2 of boxing and snatching the 16kilo about 13 times on both arms.

She has never attempted this before to my surprise. I kind of threw it in tonight.

Excellent Job tonight! Congratulations.

Everyone can work up to this goal. Sometimes we need to do things that are uncomfortable.

HOOYAH!!!

Fairmount Athletic Club

Comrades,

Another venture has been acquired by DV8Fitness. No I did not buy the club. But, I will be teaching some classes at Fairmount Athletic Club starting in April. I will be teaching Monday nights at 6:30pm and Saturday mornings at 8:00am. The updated schedule is located on my website, DV8Fitness.com. I am currently in negotiations to allow outside clients to attend these classes. So far they are only open for Fairmount Athletic Club members. However, in order to get some interest in Kettlebell classes at the club, I may ask some of you attend a class to show your skills off.

Make me proud.

I'm out, see you all Tuesday

Excellent Job Dan Kane

Kettlebellers,

My wife, Amy and I went to try Dan Kane's class at the Berwyn YMCA tonight. All I can say is it was Awesome. I was sweating my ass off for a change and it felt great. Dan taught a hard class and even threw in some good stretches during our workout, very good. As a fellow RKC instructor I can say it was a challenge.

I will be attending his Sunday classes at 12pm, for sure. RKC instructors need a workout too.

See you all outdoors.

Sandbags and Kettlebells

Kettlebellers,

Homework assignment before Saturday's class. As I mentioned in my last email. Please go to Home Depot or Lowes and pick up a 10pd bag of sand and a roll of duct tape. Go home and tape the shit out of the sandbag so that no part of the bag is showing. It should feel solid when your done.

Bring to Saturday's class. Have fun taping.

Broke the double digits today, HOOYAH!!

Well, Today was the day we broke double digits in class. Thanks to Nancy Mckenna bringing her whole family on her B-day. I won't say how old she is but, she, her husband and daughter kicked some ass.

Looking forward to Tuesday night.

Remember Kettlebellers, I'm going to get Crossfit Certified next week and will be bringing back some great workouts, be ready. Weather is getting warmer and the classes are getting bigger, this is just the start of a great summer.

I will be posting a workout for all of you this week for our Saturday session.

Phil's Saturday workout

Comrades,

After our Saturday morning class, I was motivated to do a KB workout with my wife. She was reluctant, but she gave it 100%.

100 swings
100 pushups
100 situps
100 KB squats. (elbows to knees)

This was all for Time, of course.

I used a 24kilo, my wife used a 16kilo.

Phil's time- little under 13min
Amy's time- around 12min.

HOOYAH!!!

The Summer Wind came blowing in

Comrades,

It felt so good to workout in 65degree weather, that we spent some of the class on the sand. We did some KB throws and some bear crawls. Everyone worked hard tonight as usual.

John, I think he got rid of his flu, spitting it all up. Jackie finished with some 16kilo snatches and attempted to do a one-leg deck squat. Marilyn loves to do army crawls and needs to step up her weight on those swings. Rich couldn't get enough, because he is going to Florida soon to drink Mojitos and Chris, I think she is still sore from the 2 straight days of KB training, go girl!

looking forward to Saturday's class, HOOYAH!!!

Looks like Rain again

Kettlebellers,

Be prepared for Tuesday night, it will be warm with a slight chance of Heavy Rain. What does this mean to you? Always be prepared to get wet and muddy. One of these days we will be dry.

Winter Swings

Kettlebellers,

I never thought I would be at this point, carrying on what Will Williams started. I am doing what I love to do and that is teaching Kettlebell. My goal as an RKC instructor is to instruct and maintain the RKC code. Those who have been supporting me, by coming out to my classes I can't thank you enough. I must be doing something right. I do enjoy kicking your asses though. We have had some tough classes so far and the weather has not been great, but that just makes the classes all the more interesting. Thank you for all your support and thank you Will for starting this journey.

Phil Scarito, RKC
