Il Maestro Pai Mei by AndreaHaine

So the other day I’m explaining to one of my beginner students about maintaining a straight wrist by diagonally gripping the kettlebell when pressing it. After demonstrating this with a lighter kettlebell for the purpose of practice I then watched him press it. What did he do? Immediately he did exactly what I told him NOT to do.

He gripped the bell horizontal at the handle instead of diagonally which in turn caused his wrist to break back and he immediately started feeling pain at the forearm. I quickly made some adjustments with some simple coaching cues and he was able to correct it. I just looked at him and asked “Is that how I showed you?” and he replied “No.” You can imagine my next response. 😉

Like me you are probably being constantly bombarded with information everyday of your life. What is the best product? What is the latest and greatest product?

In thinking your way through all of the BS you may need help by getting other perspectives on certain things. In my book this is where a product or service earns it’s value. It’s all about the perspective. This is why I just included a short list of some things that may help to give you that little “bit” of perspective and even a little more to help you out in your strength and conditioning program.

Yes, that Werewolf looking fellow pictured above (that in my brother’s words looks like some crazy character in a Quentin Tarantino film) is yours truly! For over a decade I’ve been clean shaving and beard free and for the past several weeks I decided “what the hell?” I’ll just go all Wolverine on you (in the words of my good friend Jeff Perry)!
