Baltimore Kettlebell Instruction
The deadlift has long been called “The King” of all progressive resistance back exercises. Done properly, no single back exercise can match the deadlift when it comes to creating functional power, usable athletic strength and dramatic increases in muscle size. Done improperly, the deadlift is ineffectual, dangerous and a complete waste of time. Marty Gallagher [...]
Let us be frank. Most gyms measure the success of their trainers solely by their ability to sell personal training sessions. It’s not about transformation and results. It’s about selling. Few gyms even have the ability, or the desire, to determine if anyone is getting stronger and healthier. If you are lucky enough to find [...]
I’m up early. My good friend Bill Campagna is having his annual Blues Bash this afternoon featuring the Tom Larsen Band. I’m pitching in by barbecuing some of my famous beef brisket that I put on my PK Grill about 2 hours ago. It’s 5:25 AM as I write this. Should be ready around 3 [...]

Dan John, Sr. RKC wrote a wonderful article in the RKC manual about “Realistic Reps.” For most of us, we have about 10 quality reps in us. Quality is the key word here friend. I read all the time about “so and so” doing this and “such and such” doing that. Well, I’m here to [...]
I wrote this as I got a few requests to discuss my daily life routine. Please remember that we are all different. What works for one may not work for you. Also remember I am not a medical professional so none of what I write should or could be construed as medical advice. As is [...]
I hope that you try to make your life as simple as you can. Complicated is not the way to live. As Occam once said, “Make things as simple as you can but no simpler.” So why do so many of us insist on making their training so involved? Get from point A to point [...]
I always hated the dead lift. Mainly because I did it wrong. It hurt. I stayed away from it for over 20 years because of that.
