Exploring the Clean and Jerk
In the original Russian Kettlebell Challenge book there is a passage that reads, "The Girevoy Sport turns boys into men, physically strong and full of stamina. Strength and endurance are the basics of kettlebell lifting. A blend of these attributes gives birth to a new one - strength endurance.

All these qualities are necessary in different life situations, but especially in military service".

As someone who grew up working in the service industry I simply can't stand it when people don't get what they've paid for. I really get upset when people pay hard earned money to attend an event, work hard all day long and ultimately leave without the bit of paper they wanted. In most cases this can be easily solved with doing the right preparation beforehand. I'm a big believer in the 5 Ps of success - Proper Planning Prevents Poor Performance.

Champions Train, Losers Complain
At my old BJJ school we had a saying - Champions train, losers complain. And in twenty years of helping people achieve their lifetime bests, both competitively and personally, I've heard pretty much every excuse there is to hear. But one truth is always self-evident - those who truly desire change, success or victory ALWAYS find a way to get it done.

I know you spent a great deal of time at medical school learning how to not cause harm to people. But in the same vein that I am not going to come into your work and tell you how to wield a scalpel, or what to prescribe to people, I really wish you'd stop telling people how I should train them.
