Heading to another RKC tomorrow

How lucky am I? I get to assist once again at another RKC weekend. I guess I must have did something right at the last one. Pavel asked me to come back, how can I say no to him. This time around I get to assist Team Leader Brad Nelson. I have heard many good things about Brad and I am looking forward to working with him.

As I said before, every RKC weekend I go to whether I am a student or a teacher I learn something new. Remember, you can never get enough of the basics. Knowing the basics are what defines a great Kettlebell instructor. I believe there are about 80 participants at this cert, so almost a full house. This certification will be the last of the old Snatch test rules, which are taking your body weight and dividing by 2.2 which tells you how many snatches you need to do in 5min. Starting in June and going forward, it is 100 snatches across the board, for women and men. Women use a 16k and men a 24k.

I will be taking some video of course throughout my weekend, hopefully I will be able to tear a full deck of cards for Brett Jones without taking the entire night. I will certaintly get that on video.

It should be an awesome weekend as far as weather in concerned, so please don't sit on your ass, get outside and move around.

See you next week.

Phil.
