Last weekend I had the extreme pleasure of training one of the UK’s finest certified kettlebell teachers when he was visiting the U.S. When I first spoke with Steve Dawson about what he was wanting to do when he was here he told me that he is a very well conditioned guy and that I could choose anything I wanted. I smiled and told him that we’d be putting his conditioning to a test…. and we definitely did.
