Update

It's been a while since I've posted.
Over the last month I've enrolled in the RKC level II instructor course and as result I've preparing for it by training my one arm press. Part of the RKC level II physical requirement is to perform a strict one-arm press with the kettlebell closest to half my boyweight, at my current weight of 174, that means I'll use the 88lb kettlebell. The Level II course is not until July 2011, by then I hope to have achieved 3-5 consecutive reps per arm with the 88lb/40kg.  I've maintained my snatch test numbers with variations on Kenneth Jays' Viking Warrior Conditioning and Ramped up my pressing ladders by adding a weight vest. I feel good and believe I'm learning to achieve more results with less overall workout time.

I addition to my own training I've been preparing to expand kettlebell classes at another location, and recently created a new kettlebell t-shirt design with the help of my amazing girlfriend who is a graphic designer/creative director.
