Baltimore Kettlebell Instruction
Category: Training Tips & TricksAnother good week of training from Dan John’s Easy Strength program. I feel quite good and am moving well and feel like the sessions are 100% beneficial.

I am journaling my 40 Days with Dan John program. On the face of it working low volume and low intensity doesn’t seem like it would be all that productive. Still, I have been in contact with too many people who have done the workout who have had big success not to be pretty excited [...]
I rarely talk to anyone who claims that they couldn’t use more time each day to get everything done. We have a lot going on what with work, Facebook, family, errands etc. One of the biggest excuses I hear for not getting a work out in is “I’m too busy.” Another post will be useful [...]
You may realize by now that I really enjoy food. The eating of it as well as the making. Particularly I like fire and meat so grilling and smoking and barbecue are things I’m passionate about. Each year my buddy Bill Case has a big summer bash. The Tom Larson Blues Band is [...]

If you are anything like me, then you don’t really practice joint mobility and foam rolling all that often. I’m “Type A” kind of person and getting me to sit still long enough to work on my flexibility has been tough. I’ve been doing self body work for years but never religiously. This morning I [...]
Now that you’re able to do the ultra deep body weight squats, it’s time to move on to the next phase. Our focus remains on building leg strength. A good deadlift starts with a good squat. And the definition of a good squat is that safety and performance are inextricably linked. Most beginner to intermediate [...]
