Comrades,
Well, I surpassed my previous deadlift number by 30 pounds. I did 6 sets of Deadlifts.
135, 225(feeling strong), 265, 315, then 335. Supinated/Pronated grip, and back was straight. I used the PVC pole and started with a set of 10 reps, making sure my 3 contact positions were in line. I felt so good and so strong. My next goal is 400. This will take some time though. I am starting to swing the 32's, which really help prep for the deadlift.
******************
Dv8Fitness videos are up on Utube. Check them out and tell me what you think. Of course you always want to cover more than what you say on video. So, these will be updated. I am going to video every Sunday, so keep looking on Utube for some good videos.
Also, KETTLEBELLS.ME will be coming soon. Stay tuned Comrades.

I'm assisting in the October RKC
Comrades,
I have achieved one of my many goals I set for myself. I was asked to assist in the October RKC Cert. This is a big deal for me and just the beginning of an incredible journey along the RKC path. I can't tell you how great it feels to be apart of such an amazing community of RKC's. I have such a great passion for teaching the RKC system that this opportunity is incredible.
I have also signed up for the Level II cert in June. The requirements are indeed very high, but this is not a typical Certification. This is the weeding out process ladies and gentleman. Are you in or out? I look forward to the challenge, bring it on!!!
On another note, I have started to video and post my tutorials on Utube of the 6 basic KB movements for my clients to view. They are not complete yet, but will be by the end of next week. Hope to have my Kettlebells.Me site running as well. Wait till you see that one.
Hope to see everyone out to class this week.
Stay strong and keep swinging bells.
Phil.

Simplistic, Time Efficient and Deadly Effective!
Comrades,
As most of you who know me, I'm small but, mighty. I'm a buck fifty now, which seems to be where my body has been for a while. A lot of this even weight is due to shitty Nutrition and lack of good old fashion iron pumping. Things have changed though. After ready Purposeful Primitive, by Marty Gallagher and attending the CK-FMS workshop I have started to change up my routine.
Right now, I'm following the 2-day split routine:
Day 1= Squat, Bench Press, Sumo Deadlift
Day 2= Squat, Bench Press, Convention Deadlift.
Yesterday, my deadlift session went like this: 6 sets, 135, 155, 185, 205, 225, 245. I felt strong. Before I started my deadlifts, I used Gray Cook's stick method. Keeping my head, Thoracic spine and sacrum on the stick. This went into my muscle memory and then I banged out 6 sets with perfect form. I will be up over 300 in no time.
I am attending the RKC Level II Cert in May of 09. They just recently made the requirements much harder. Starting to use the 32kilo more often now. I feel good and am eating very well.
I will keep you all up to date on my progress. Remember, form is everything.
