Hey everyone!
I’ve decided to start putting out a blog post about every week with a bunch of interesting or relevant articles for those of you training with me. I normally share these on the Idaho Kettlebell Strength and Conditioning Facebook page, but that is definitely not the most reliable way to get information out. I really hope some of this information is beneficial.
These emails will be purely informational, and you won’t be subject to marketing stuff. I realize sometimes the articles themselves will contain some marketing links, ads, etc., but I try to filter that out as much as possible. Rest assured, I am not being compensated for any information provided or sales of any product that might be advertised.
I hope this is helpful.

This one reminds me of one of my favorite Mark Rippetoe quotes: “The myth that women shouldn’t lift heavy is only perpetuated by women who fear work and men who fear women.”

Creatine. Get basic creatine monohydrate. I don’t currently supplement with it, because I eat tons of red meat, but if you don’t it is huge.
