The fine art of Moffle making.

It isn't Mochi. It isn't a waffle. It's a Moffle.

This line caught my attention :

"Nothing," Calder pointed out, "can happen on a sports pitch until the eyes have done their work."

A great read.

Heavy swings.

Cara enjoying a few swings with a 70lb kettlebell. Good fun.

High and heavy.

Goody's post yesterday (looking at his workout in Jedd's basement) reminded me of just how good it can be to share your home gym. It has all the usual benefits a training partner brings, as well as bringing the other person slightly out of their comfort zone. Always good.

Other benefits :

• A slightly different warmup : even if you have the same goals as your training partner, their home gym may encourage them to train in a slightly different way. For example, the room may have a low ceiling which prevents you from warming up with kettlebell snatches; or it may open out onto the yard, making a few tyre flips look particularly inviting.
• Variations in equipment : once again, your session may be altered slightly by the gym itself. Although the exercises may be the same, small differences in the equipment can have a noticeable impact.
• Learning a new approach : this is perhaps the biggest benefit from working out in someone else's home gym. Everyone has a slightly different way of doing things, and a spell in their home gym is the best way to see it in action. Quite simply, you can learn a lot by training with someone who is in their own environment.

Via Doug Nepodal : a great video [31.3mb, .m4v] showing off some early kettlebell training. Good stuff.
