I trust you had a killer weekend! Jodie and I attended a local conference on all day Saturday and relaxed at night with a movie (The Watchmen). I also spent a ton of time cranking out research on the Monster Energy Drink study and some other crazy dissertation work.
Of course I got in some fun with kettlebells outside too and pulled a 10 lb PR on reverse band deadlifts. Whoo ha. Gotta love PRS!
Here is a kettlebell drill you may not have seen, so check it out!

Notes
- Don’t be dumb and let the KB (kettlebell) hit you in the melon and knock you out! Do at your own risk and start with it just at your shoulder and get VERY comfortable with that move first.
- Do it outside so that if you drop the KB it does not bounce anywhere and hit you (notice a trend here, don’t get hit by the KB).

Cool video… I very mad I missed out on buying some super cheap kettlebells someone snagged them before me.
I appreciate all the help and advice you have given me and have incorporated more veggies and fish into my diet to decrease inflammation long term.
On the knee Lock outs in the Level 1 Neural Warm up my *left* knee will not drop to the outside after the inflammation. I have tried massage, and just working with it and made near 0 progress and was wondering if you have seen this in clients before and could give me and educated guess to the source of the problem.
Personal Records are always great congratulations
Christian,
Thanks for the comments and nice work on more veggies and fish. Yes, PRs are great!
Try the Z-Health Elbow circle for the RIGHT arm, but do it very slowly and don’t let the arm bone (humerus) rotate—make sure the forearm is rotating around it. You can use your LEFT hand to hold it as you do the elbow circle.
Try a closed chain knee circle on the LEFT knee then–again, VERY slow. This is based off of opposite joints.
Let me know how it goes
