Thanks Lew. It is the contribution by all of us. The people that gather here are respectful, willing to learn and helping each other, no bullshit talking, encouraging, critic where critic is needed. No glamour and fancy talking, just right down to the earth and simple, which is not....
For myself, it started all with reading some high quality ressources. I got my Kettlebells, barbells, worked out, trained, practiced, kept on reading and working out and training and practicing, then, at some time began lurking the forum, and training and practicing. Eventually almost a year ago I logged in the forum and started communicating actively, which soon had deep impact, in the way that I am less "working out" than more and more practicing which is the way for skill development. But that has allready been written and told by Pavel Tsatsouline on many occasions. The point I want to make is, that this whole aspect of communication helps tremendously. And the certification blew my little mind away, as I witnessed, how the Masters carried their knowledge, experience, skill and strength. I claim for myself, that my training and practice is not the same anymore.
