I am sick and here is a post just to have something current to read.
12 random things about me:
Since I began eating meat again, i have not reduced my nuts/beans/eggs intake. Insert jokes here.
The Misfits are still my favorite band of all time.
I have the same birthday as the little girl from The Exorcist.
I was meritoriously promoted in the USMC three times.
I was sitting in Australia, drinking a beer and eating pizza when the attacks of 9/11 took place.
I trained to press and pistol the beast on my weakside without owning a Beast Kettlebell (106 lbs.)
Every single kettlebell i own is from Dragon Door.
My favorite movie is The Wizard of Oz. After that i must say The Departed.
My plan in life is to coach Olympic Weightlifitng in California somewhere, sometime.
The love of my life, whom i nearly abandoned, has given me a chance to redeem myself.
The X Files is my happy place, where i go to escape and reinvest in things other than reality.
You are important to me.
Thank you!

Mike's re-introduction to fast movement [Metabolic Flexibility initiative]
An RKC who hurt his back at the RKC weekend. Does not sound fully unfamiliar. An RKC who told me that high-tension techniques, specifically 'feed forward' tension as it applies to Pavel's system, 'slows him down and complicates his lifts'. Not unfamiliar. One of my students who became an RKC. About 19 rings of familiarity there. Mike is not a personal trainer. He just wanted fulfillment. He got his RKC, but has been sidelined with hip and back problems since RKC Pennsylvania, October 2009.
He has gained weight since his injury. He is now ready to tear it off. Ready to shed while shredding. I am honored to have been his choice in training. He owns Grip N' Rip 2.0. Time to set it off.
1st session- Gym Movement testing protocols and circumference measurements. Janda Sit Ups and Deadlift with barbell were tested and trained. Recall that is i say we trained something, it means it tested well.
2nd session- Barbell military press and more deadlifts
3rd session [today]-We hit the push press. It tested well. We hit snatches, they tested well. Left-right was paid attention. 14kg snatches for the left, 16kg for the right. It's what his body wanted to do, what can i say?
We tested barbell and kettlebell push press. The idea was to move as fast as we could with the minimal effective amount of tension as it applied to a fast movement. Great session. No pain registered. He is on his way.
10:00 volume test for 1 arm kettlebell snatch
8 sets, totaling 4,485 lbs., stay tuned and watch him crush this number every single time he snatches and volume tests well.
Welcome back Mike.

Post with regard to Youtube video 'Kettlebell Pressing/Gym Movement'
I chose to test these movements, for they tested well at The Movement level one bio-mechanics course at The Movement Minneapolis this past July. My shoulders ground and made audible noises, as they always have, and the left shoulder registered pain. I have not pressed, other than pikes and my first dead-start wall-stand push up Monday AM. Today my left sacro illiac joint was very talkative and knowing full well that my right glute group has gone to sleep since an inguinal hernia was surgically repaired on 20100427, I tested some loaded movement that resembled the presses with torso rotation.
frankie and David Dellanave saw me pressing in the scissor stance, and rotating towards the hip which was flexed. They guided me to press towards the hip that was in extension. This tests well with ROM and feels wonderful on my hip exclusively on the right side. Any variation of the press with my left tests above my baseline range-of-motion, yet not as well as the right. My left side enjoys pulling, maybe to work the weaker scapular area. My left side was trounced in a vehicle accident. That scap was split lengthwise and reformed like a stegosaurus plate. From left to right and top to bottom I trip out when I see how varying degrees of specificity applied to bigger movement lends itself to laying down tissue over tracks of eustress.
