  2. Hey Matt don't get hit in the face when that kettlebell decides to throw in the towel. Keep your eyes on the prize bro.

  3. What a revelation today was! (For me) Hmmmm... Turkish "Get up's" are/were interesting to say the least:) It took a movement like this to put into perspective just how important proper form is and how with it, you can achieve the things YOU didn't think possible. Why wouldn't we/anyone use proper form? I wasn't able to lift "JACK" without it... believe me, I tried. If this is the case, why do so many shy away from it? Is it lack of technique (Knowledge/experience) Is it because it hurts more to take the hard route... "no pain, no gain"... right? (This phrase has different meaning to me now) It's probably a little of both. Seems like FORM is a common topic lately. I really don't know where I'm going with this other than, I think we should embrace "proper" form and become better athlete's for it. It took me an extra 2 min. after a failed attempt on 35 lbs., to ASK, PRACTICE and then PERFORM. I ASKED because I layed my pride aside... I PRACTICED because I respected the advice I was given by the people who gave it to me... And as a result, I PERFORMED "succesfully"! The result speaks for itself. (Remember, I just said that I failed at 35 lbs!) Again... don't know where this is going! hahaha... I'll be the first (or second or whatever) To jump on the "form" train or atleast cause the "half-ass form" train to crash. I'm a believer :)
