I have to post this because I just crushed the number 1. For some of you that may be no big deal, but it is too me. Next goal is to get the number 2 by June before I go to Level II. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, go to Ironmind.com and check out the grippers they have for sale. They are basically a way to strengthen your grip.
Since I have been using the grippers for 1 arm swings, snatches and presses, I have been able to press the 32k with no problems. Working on the 36k now. My deadlifts have become easier as well. I have not maxed out yet, but will shortly. My PR is 345 now using a conventional deadlift.
As Brett Jones says, you are only as strong as your grip.
Speaking of grip strength, my Saturday class just did 80 sets of Vo2 max. Women used a 12k and men a 16k. Congratulations to everyone for completing the protocol. SSST is coming soon. T-shirts will be made for this event.
I'm out.

WOW!! This Club has their shit together
What can I say? This is what happens when a gym wants to work together. Tonight, I taught 2 demo classes at Club La Maison. Each class was sold out. I had a wide variety of clients who really wanted to learn the benefits of Kettlebell training. Each one of them learned so many valuable lessons that will help them in thier own training. Starting next week, I will be teaching a 6-week Kettlebell class for CLM members. I look forward to getting these classes started.
This past weekend, EMS had a huge sale on all winter merchandise. I want to thank EMS for supporting DV8Fitness and allowing me to put my brochures around the store. If any DV8Fitness member purchases any item at EMS in Haverford and Exton, you will recieve a discount. Take advantage of this.
Starting February 24th at Lower Merion High School, Will Williams and I will be teaching a Kettlebell class for the Main Line Night School. The class will be 1 1/2 hours. Class starts at 7:30pm. Bells will be provided. Take advantage of having a Senior RKC instructor teach at the MLNS.
See you all at class.

DV8Fitness and Club La Maison
Kettlebellers,
During the winter months, I will be holding a couple classes at Club La Maison in Devon. Advanced Kettlebell class on Thursday night at 6:30pm and a beginners class on Monday nights at 6:00pm. From my experience, there is no other gym in the area who offers such a variety of classes as Club La Maison.
I want to thank Club La Maison for inviting DV8Fitness into their club. Their members and trainers will only benefit from training with Kettlebells and learning the RKC principles. I look forward to the new winter schedule.
Remember: No sneakers are allowed, only flat soled shoes or go barefoot. If you have your own bell, bring it with you along with a towel.
See you all soon.
