Lacie Brandts works full-time as a CPA at a public accounting firm in Spencer, Iowa. She also instructs group kettlebell classes at a local gym. A distance runner since high school, she has completed six marathons and over a dozen half marathons.
In 2012, she started training with kettlebells to supplement her running. She became a little more serious about kettlebells in 2014 and set a goal to pass the SFG Level I Certification. She completed the Certification in 2015, and has also completed the SFG II, SFL, and SFB.
Lacie completed the Sinister challenge in November 2015 and earned the Iron Maiden title in April 2016. What started as a personal challenge to pass the SFG I has grown into an unexpected passion for strength training and coaching others.
Using Pavel's teachings, plus my own modifications from listening to my body, I successfully trained for and achieved the Sinister goal. Here's exactly what I did.
