Certified RKC Instructor: Budapest, Hungary, 16th August 2009
2000: First introduced to the world of physical training as a way to develop my strength for rock climbing.
2005: Started training to specific workout plans with set goals in mind. Added various non-climbing based exercises to try and even out my pull-up based training routines.
2006: With a growing family and limited free time to get out on the rock, I eventually found myself doing more and more training and less and less actual climbing. The focus of my training changed to moving more weight, rather than just improving climbing performance.
2007: Having spent several years training to strengthen my fingers and hands, I entered the world of grip specific training, mostly with grippers and pinch grip lifting. I decided to look for a new approach to training that would enable me to keep pushing my physical level of performance whilst being more well rounded and practical enough to do at home.
Enter the Kettlebell! In less than two years after picking up my first 16kg bell I packed on a solid 15lbs of functional muscle, and my overall strength and conditioning reached levels I'd never before imagined.
2009: Took the RKC challenge and became a certified instructor. Added short steel bar bending, card tearing and also Indian clubs to my training regime.
