The double clean and front squat. I love it! In fact, I have been digging these lifts a lot more now that I am working my grip strength and leg work for some big fitness events I am geared up for in the coming year. Strong legs leads to powerful jumps, and not to mention […]
Strength in Weakness- The Spartan Sprint
“As I climbed out of the police car I could feel my heart ready to leap out of my chest. I carefully listened to the officer’s instructions and tried to do as he said, while the two inebriated passengers in my car watched breathlessly. The rain poured down hard on me as I took the […]
Flashbacks: RKC Level 1 and the Blog that Started it All!
A friend and kettlebell colleague gave me a challenge to get out of my own head. “I think you should write up your old RKC level 1 prep and post it online.” I thought this was an odd challenge, considering I had written that post YEARS ago on my very first blog, primalburgher.com. To be honest […]
The Season for Strength

Even more, I believe that becoming strong and refining our current strengths leads to success in every area […]
Heavy Kettlebell Swings: How to Gain Serious Power In Minimal Time
It is worth noting that after completing my own sets of heavy kettlebell swings this week, instagram had alerted me to the fact that “Strong Ass Life” was a trending hashtag when I went to post my footage. With all the heavy kettlebell swings we are getting into here today, I can think of no […]
The Turkish Get Up to Lunge Cycle- Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced Variations
Confession: I have a new favorite workout that has nothing to do with the kettlebell military press. Don’t get me wrong, the military press is my be all end all favorite lift of all time (and if you want to get SUPER STRONG at the press, click this link for some Powerful Pressing), but lately, […]
Become a Force to Be Reckoned With
There is nothing I crave more than a solid strength routine. It should come as no surprise either, considering I am one of the only tiny females that can press double 28kgs standing at 5’4”. Now, I am not here to toot my own horn today. Today, I want to talk about YOU, and […]
