More Training with the 115lb Kettlebell

Again we have Mike Davis DPT from Kettlebell Athletics Virgina performing a Pistol and a Pull-up with a 115lb kettlebell. Mike makes it look all to easy.

I'm proud to say that I was the first person to introduce Mike to kettlebell training. I believe that intproduction was made with a 16kg kettlebell.

Needless to say, Mike has made just a lil' bit of progress.
