I will be assisting Mike Burgener at the CrossFit Olympic Weightlifting Certification on November 10-11th at Mikes Gym in Vista California.I am really looking forward to this. I have been a huge fan of Crossfit for some time now and this will be my first opportunity to be part of a Crossfit event. I think they are the most exciting thing to happen to conditioning since blood doping. Just kidding. I have used Crossfit style training with many of my MMA, Military, and Law Enforcement clients for years. They all have said Crossfit training prepares them for “Battle” better than any other conditioning method. I guess I will take the word of people that actually do go into battle.

I just found out that I will be speaking at the NSCA National Conference on Saturday, July 12, 2008 in Las Vegas at the Paris Hotel. My presentation is called “A Simplified Progression for Teaching the Olympic Lifts” I know this topic is a bit of a stretch for me, but I think I will manage.
