Breaking News...Pavel told the RKC to fuck off.

[climber511]

I'm having a Certification - you can put letters after your name and everything upon completion - let's call it the Climber Cert!

How much should I pay to learn the “secrets”? Answer – If you send me $5000 – and you have $5000 – I’ll take you personally to Nepal and we’ll go to the Tangboche Monestary up in the mountains where all answers lie – I went a few years ago and I’d love to go back. I’ll leave you there to ask questions while I go climb a mountain or two – we’ll both learn a lot I’m sure. I will certify you in several disciplines upon our return. IWTTMALSS – I Went To The Mountains And Learned Some Stuff cert. You will be able to teach your own students afterwards. You can use all those initials after your name just like a real personal trainer but in my certification process, you’ll see some of the most beautiful country on earth – in “their” cert, you take a test in a classroom, gym, or a field – you choose..

It has been a long time since I went over to DD.

This thread just reminds me of how the RKC got taken over by suck ups and the kind of stereotypical persoanl trainers most of us earlier K'bellers and RKCs hated.

Wow. Those dudes need to drop their one pood on their two poods.

RKC = beginner bells

For as much as you know about training, your kettleknowledge falls well short. Replace "beginner" with "basic" and you might just have a case. Most athletes, corporate d-bags and the wives who love them and just about anyone else will be better suited to the easily learned two hand RKC Swing with a 'heavy' KB for many sets of 5 over the GS swing with a birdball and all of its technical nuances, as just one small example.

Stop your RKC hate, Shafbama, you're the Joe Biden of kettlegossip! ;-)

All of the above would be better suited to learn proper use of a barbell and put aside these childish toys

True in regards to strength but I think the cattleball is a great mobility tool and a nice change in pace for conditioning.

Indeed.

Changing pace is good assuming you have a pace to change.

Any conditioning is a change of pace for me.

Did you get your screen name from Doctor Who or the actually Welsh phrase?

Saw that episode last night.

[Blaidd Drwg]

Both.

Bad Wolf!

My kids love the hell out of that show. Nightly debates about the 9th vs 11th doctor and various bits of whotrivia.

Quite the intellectual roundtable. I'm sure MENSA is recruiting the hell out of your little mouthbreathers.

My eldist has been watching them with me lately as well.

One of my favorite shows of all time. I had the Tom Baker scarf as a kid. I turned a programable toy space tank into K-9 with some carbooard boxes and silver paint.

I love the newer ones. Eccelston is the most intense Doctor, the ark about him killing his people and the Darlaks and the way he freaks when he sees a Darlak afterwards was powerful.

Tennant has a bit of Eccleston and Baker in his Doctor, very good.

Matt Smith is good as well.

[Blaidd Drwg]

I prefer Ecceleston but Tennant and Smith are really both excellent as well.

[Tom]

Just my opinion.

I think he wants to limit his audience to strength athletes and tactical folks.

Remember his earlier writing? He made fun of personal trainers in several locations and now that's the majority of his business with the HKC and PTs taking the RKC.

I think he's mentioning of his other biz Tactical Strength inc was a sign of his new direction. I hope I'm right.

I know Jeff Martone does Crossfit stuff but he does work with front line operators. Any chance of the two of them teaming up?

If the word on the street of @FHQ firing all of their current SMEs soon, assuming that Pavel and Martone are still on good terms, it would seem like a good idea.

I think Martone is still on good terms. He quotes Pavel in his book and uses an exerpt from Super Joints.

Jeff's leaving had to do with him helping another company sell kb's in Nashville while he was a SR. It was purely business.

I liked it better when the RKC was more visceral and less cerebral.

[Sassenach]

Ten is my doctor. Wibbly wobbly.

Why not start a Dr Who subforum?

Reading this I now know how everyone that doesn't give a fuck about powerlifting felt when Chuck V left Westside. Just cant give a fuck.
