I am on the road again. This time to St. Petersburg, Russia with six other ambitious Americans to train with and under 9-time World Champions Coach Sergey Rachinskey and his Russian National team. These are the top of the top in kettlebell sport. Am I nervous, you bet, but you don’t get anywhere in life or sport by sitting at home being a big fish in a small pond. You have to be willing to take a chance, willing to get knocked down. But know that you will push through and learn from the sometimes hard lessons. Will I ever be strong enough?… Never. But I’ll bring a willingness to try, to fail and to learn. I will return stronger. I will return more knowledgeable. I might even surprise myself.

If you want to be strong. You MUST incorporate heavy squats into your training plan. No human has gained tremendous strength without the use of squats in their program. Squats set the foundation for everything else. You don’t build a house by starting with the windows.
Another key component to unworldly strength is a team of like-minded individuals to push you beyond limits. This Saturday, May 8 at 5:30pm we are bringing the two elements together. Gary Bess is currently in training for this summers USAPL Raw National meet, where he is primed to set National records. I leave to train with Russian National team members in St. Petersburg in the coming weeks. Tom Hicks is talking of a return to the platform this fall.
If your squat training needs a kick in the ass? You do not want to miss this training day.
