Who is THE best (kettlebell) coach in the world?

/ Articles & Info/ 0 comments

Before we decide if we should start naming names here…let’s look at what actually makes a GOOD coach. Is it someone who is so bloody awesome with the tools of choice, that they can kick EVERYBODY’s ass? hmmm… maybe they should rather just compete. a coach should never compete with their students. if you can & do beat all your students, then you suck as a coach. Maybe share the secrets and help them improve. Is it someone who has produced champion after champion after champion? hmmm… well, if the champions are all natural ability, or drug mutated lunatics, then

/ How To (general)/ 2 comments

In this section, we share some of the workouts and drills which we use for conditioning. Almost all of the are time-based, and make use of THE best timer app available. Get yourself Impetus Interval Timer, which runs on almost any Android device. The basic version is FREE, but that will not allow you to import/export workout presets which we will include in the WotD.
