My Quest for a 700lb Deadlift

Excellent Workshop

This past weekend in NYC I attended a kettlebell workshop given by Mike Mahler and Dylan Thomas. Prior to going to the seminar I read the books and watched DVD's, but nothing compares to actually being instructed on how do the exercises. Not only being instructed but doing them, for about 7 hours! There were so many little tweaks to each movement it was amazing,I am positive that my personal bests will be improved as soon as I can work out again, talk about being sore, ouch. If you ever get a chance to attend one of Mike's workshops, do it. I don't know how often he works with Dylan but I can't imagine a better combo. Thanks to the both of them - Tom

"Blob exercise"

Wow it has been a while, I guess I got caught up in other areas of my life I neglected my blogs. I didn't stop working out or reading and researching just writing. I took part in a GREAT life experience/training forum the "Landnark Forum" I highly recommend it to everyone!
Ok I came up with 2 exercises with the "blob" [besides the obvious]
Both start bottom of a deadlift I hold the "blob" by its bottom squeezing it, and squat up.
On 1 option I curl the "blob" on the way up then press it straight out in front of me, when upright. Then reverse the process on the way down.
The other option I just raise the "blob" out in front of me on the way up then slowly lower on your way down.
I have the "blob" lead shot loaded @ 2/3 no idea what it weighs, but both tax the whole body. You can do these with a kettlebell also, give them a try.
You can get a shot loaded blob at atomic athletic's website, and find some other interesting items and articles like this one:
