I was pressed by Martin Farrell

Martin was visiting San Diego to compete in the NAKF Nationals. He stoped by Revolution the day before the competition to meet us and see the toys we have here. I know it was hard for him to not touch the beast, the heavy kegs, tires and more :) but he needed to save his energy for the competition. After he came by not only to play with the toys, he came to "Press Me".

Wow!!! He is very strong!!! and a very nice person.

Martin.... it was very nice to meet you!

A wake up call!

I had the honor to assist at the Mike Mahler and Pavel workshop this past weekend in Los Angeles. These teachers are AMAZING! They make everything very simple to understand and the information is easy to apply . It was such a GREAT experience!

Going to the workshop was a honor, amazing and great but it was also meant to be. I think I needed a wake up call to balance my life. It is very ironic but they talked about balacing life to get results. I have around 10 months training hard and heavy, lack of sleep and trying to do things that would normally take one month and complete them in one day. Well the day came.... I was sleeping and woke up at 2am with a very difficult time breathing. I tried to calm down and after waiting 30 minutes to get better my flaco bello "Franz" couldn't see me like that and he took me to the emergy room..... Great!!!! my breathing came back to normal. Now I am under medication and balancing my life. I need to apply to my own life what I teach every day to my clients.

My days of absence from my blog!

I am sorry that I haven't posted what has been happening lately.... We have been very busy taking care of the last details of the "Revolution Kettlebell Fat Loss Program". I am so in LOVE with this book! I know it will help alot of people to learn about theirself and how to be in shape for the rest of their life! It will be on the market in about a week.

My exercise and nutrition program are doing great!.... Training with Kettlebells and Odd Lift, eating clean and once a week having my lovely Ice Cream. My body fat is coming down. The scale doesn't say too much but I feel pretty good.

I have been training Michelle Hackett to compete in the TSC. Wow!!! She is strong!!! Yesterday I decided to test her deadlift and it is so hard for me to not get excited, so I wanted to test myself. I was so impresed that I could lift more than my last TSC competition. My new PR is 240. No problem!!!!

I heard that maybe there is going to be a "Beast Challege" for girls. I look forward to finding out what weight will be used. I have already started to train for it! :)

My Training, Strategy and Results..............Coming soon!!!! :)

Geoff request!

Geoff,

Here is the picture snatching the 24kg.

Thanks to your request I got excited to lift heavier kettlebells and I jerked the 28kg. :)

It was really "fun"!

Deadlifting Experience

I tested my deadlift last Friday after taking a couple months off.

To my surprise I was able to pull 230.
Now I realize that it is not too smart to test a movement that I have not been doing but I just had to know if I still had the strength. Luckily it is still there ;-)

Right now I am on a weight loss nutrition and exercise program.
My only concern is what will my strength levels be at a much lighter body weight? This is the only thing that worries me.

Who says you can not have your cake and eat it too?

I will keep everyone posted on the results of my weight loss program.

Until the next time!
