I was honored to have the opportunity to be a student under and train with a warrior. During our kettlebell course Coach Greg Amundson, quotes Heraclitus-
“Out of every one hundred men, ten shouldn't even be there, eighty are just targets, nine are the real fighters, and we are lucky to have them, for they make the battle. Ah, but the one, one is a warrior, and he will bring the others back.”
We at CrossFit Silicon Valley thank all the participants and especially Coach Greg for making this an amazing learning experience. We recommend the CrossFit Kettlebell Trainer Course as one will get more than expected after completion.
Kettlebell training will seriously supplement and improve your game! This is phenomenal pre 2012 CrossFit Open training as we should taper off a bit. Coach Larry feels the kettlebells help reinforce optimal shoulder positions and strengthen the posterior chain.
Last couple weeks, we braved the clean and jerk cycle. This week- it is KETTLEBELL LOVE! Ring my bell...

The Kettlebell Trainer Course was fantastic thanks to the fine coaching of Greg Amundson. He drove home the course fundamentals with so much fluidity. We look forward to taking this training to higher levels. With this course as a rock solid foundation in kettlebell training, we hope to transfer our knowledge to all things fitness. If we as athletes master for example the kettlebell thruster, imagine how easy a normal bar thruster would be!
We met some really cool and interesting people over the weekend. Two of the attendees happened to be ex MARLBORO MAN models! They own a gym in Texas and made the trek to Northern Cali for the cert. The are pretty darn fit and ironically have good cardio.
