The King Within: Modern Masculinity and the Sovereign Man 002: Uncover What’s Missing in Your Physical Training
So much of my life has revolved around the kettlebell sport and the archetype of being an athlete. I’ve dedicated an incredible amount of time, energy, and discipline towards my goal of being the best kettlebell sport lifter.
Although my training and vision have changed over time, that goal has attracted me to amazing experiences and lessons. One of the most memorable experiences is attending a week-long training camp with members of the Russian National Kettlebell Sport Team. During that time, I learned invaluable lessons, not only in my training but also in life. Today I want to share them with you.
Topics discussed
- My trip to visit the Russian National Kettlebell Sport Team
- Takeaways from training with the most elite athletes on the planet
- How to become a kettlebell Master of Sport
- The most essential component of physical training
- My biggest lesson in becoming a better man
