I have the best job in the world

Tuesday got to train the with Pete (Pete's blog) at the Academy. 50 students and some very talented athletes. Played around with the kettlebells and then got into some tire flipping! I think Pete has better pics than I but here is one of the group.



Wednesday Made the trip down to San Jose to see my good friend and kick ass coach Joe Sarti (Joe's blog) We shared a lot of ideas and got some training in. Then a few of the boys from Frank Shamrock's gym came down to do some training. The boys all trained like warriors! Here is some of the things they did:
Thick rope sled pulling approx 100'
Thin rope kettlebell pulling 150'
Sled sprints/bear crawls
Rope waves with 100'
KB one hand explosive throws/shot puts #36
med ball two hand explosive front throws #40
2 Kb racked shuffling/duck and weave
Sandbag zercher squats
Sandbag shouldering
Farmers walks

Joe and I joined in for some at the end. It was a great day as well as a great week.



Also big kudos to my kettlebell class participants! You guys are awesome! You continue to up the ante and inspire me in so many ways.

It has been a great week!
