Kettlebells Meet Edina SWAT

Thursday Oct 14, 2010 10:00am.  Edina SWAT rolls into RAD Boot Camp / Kinetic Edge

Diva Class: “Are you and Kurt under investigation?”

Brad:  “No, they are here to challenge you :)

Diva Class:  “BRING IT ON!!”

Edina SWAT members experience the power of the kettlebell for the first time.  I met captain Kevin Rofidal at the SOTA (Special Operations Training Association) Conference this past spring.  I presented kettlebells in to a community of guys who need to be ready for anything at any time while making very quick decisions under stress.  Kevin was the first to approach me about working his team.

Kettlebells are absolutely incredible for law enforcement, military, paramedics…anyone who has the demands of a physical job.  Implementing strength, flexibility and burst training –kettlebells, in my opinion, are the ultimate all-in-one conditioning tool.  If you are looking for pure strength and mass ONLY, then barbell training (deadlift, squats) is in order.

Here’s Kurt and I with the crew…

Brad Nelson Trains Kettlebells with Edina SWAT

Thanks to Kevin and the entire Edina SWAT Team for investing in learning something new!  Glad we could help out those who serve and protect on a daily basis.

Crank it!

Grip N Rip 2.0 Rivals Monster Truck Showdown

Grip N Rip 2.0 Saturday Feb 6, 2010 co-taught with partner in crime Adam T. Glass.

There’s a New Kid on the Block and he’s “Hangin’ Tough”

New Kids on the Block - Hangin Tough

Sometimes I wonder how and why certain people cross my life path.  At this point in my journey, I understand there are zero coincidences.  When you cross my path for whatever reason, I will make sure to let you in on that thought stream.  Whether it resonates with you at that specific moment in time and what you do with that encounter will be left to your free will.

Grip N Rip 2.0 Attendees with Adam T Glass & Brad Nelson

There is something about gathering open minds and the open forum synergy it creates.  The world is changing.  Adaptation is taking place…Learn to adapt or be forced to adapt.  Weekends like this are indescribable in a blog post and that’s why you need to attend.

Fourteen brave souls entered my private lab at 1000 hours eager, excited, nervous.  A few from the Twin Cities proper.  Most from different area codes.  The actual workshop ended at 6:30pm.  Yet the material absorbed and implemented will change these 14 people (and myself and Adam) included forever.

Where else can you bring together…

a medical company worker
a lawyer
a barber
a programmer
an IT analyst
a railroad worker
a pipe layer
a construction company owner
a machinist
a sex offender case worker
a ski instructor
a communications professor
a guy with off-the-charts Tourette’s
a guy who elects getting punched in the face a couple times per week
an E6 Air Force Sergeant
and myself who has seen the tip of the iceberg in my 11 year+ fitness industry stint

…and have everyone feeling like they just were struck with a lightning bolt?

Your belief systems (positive or negative) are the driving force in your life.  They determine EVERYTHING.  Are your belief systems serving you?  Question “authority.”

The ONLY thing this weekend could rival is a Monster Truck Showdown.

Monster Truck Showdown

Why a Monster Truck Showdown?  Because the reverberation felt around the training world sounds like the Monster Truck announcer in that deep announcer voice growling “Sunday-Sunday-Sundaayyy!”

Crank it!

Grip N Rip – More on what we’re going to do

I’ve gotten A LOT of questions about the seminar Adam Glass and I will
be doing.  I left a few things out…on purpose.  You see some of you
don’t have the balls to sign up for this seminar.  And you’ll be the
ones last quarter of 2009 still asking the same questions on the
internet forums because you do not have a blueprint and you FAILED to
implement what Adam and I are going to teach you at this seminar.

Do YOU have these questions?….

“What is Z Health Performance?”
“I have the videos, and it’s not working for me…does it really work?”
“How will Z Health immediately increase my strength gains?
“How will Z Health get me out of pain and keep me out of pain?”
“How does Z Health integrate in grip work and overuse injuries?”

I forgot to tell you that I will be integrating Z Health drills into
the Grip N Rip Seminar ALL DAY to make sure you understand the power of
these drills in your strength/grip training program.

ONLY good things will happen when you register for this clinic.  We
will DELIVER with a De-Sissification cherry on top.  We have so much
material that we are currently hacking away the fat to give you the big
juicy steaks of information.  Now let me say this again.  The first TEN
who call me at 651-330-9319 or email me through my website at
www.kineticedgeperformance.com get in for $297.  There are ONLY 4 spots
left at this rate.  Save yourself $100.

Now MOVE YOUR ASS and go register!

Bottom – line — What’s it going to cost me?
How bad to you want to GET STRONG in 2009?  You know how much information Adam & Brad collectively have in the bank.  If you were to hire each of them for 1 hour it would cost you $300.  For the both of them at 7 hours, that’s $2100 for the day.  We’re going to do WAY better than that.  We want you to get De-Sissified in ‘09.

First 10 people to email me at   “info at keperformance dot com”   with “Grip” in the Subject Line or call 651-330-9319 to get in for $297

Union Football

un·ion /?yuny?n/ (noun) 1. the act of uniting two or more things. 2. the state of being united. 3. something formed by uniting two or more things; combination. 4. a number of persons, states, etc., joined or associated together for some common purpose: Union Football. Iowa that is. Dysart Iowa population 1100. LaPorte City Iowa population 1500. Together they are the Union Knights and they have a new sheriff in town in the form of Head Football Coach Joe Hadachek. And up until yesterday, I don’t think they had any clue what they are in for this season. Probably never heard of Union High School on a national level. Probably not even on a state level. You will in due time.

You know you are in small town Midwest when you show up 20 minutes prior to start time and there are already 5 parents standing there. By start time there are about 20 people with lawn chairs watching AND they stayed for the ENTIRE session. Are they here because they have nothing better to do on a Sunday afternoon in small town Iowa? Probably. Are they here because they have heard stories about Coach Hadachek and his ‘different’ philosophy and training methods? More likely.

You see Coach Hadachek was my strength and conditioning coach in college. He is the one responsible for my head swimming with ideas and constantly squeezing out any knowledge I can from the pages of discerning textbooks. Better yet, he taught me something right out of the gate about APPLICATION. Theory is theory, but do you know where the weight room is? That, my grasshoppers, is where ‘it’ gets done. There was something about that college weightroom: down in the basement of the fieldhouse, dark, dungy, so humid you could cut the thick air stench of bodies with a machete when you walked in. A smell and a feeling that I will never forget.

Joe is a mentor to me and is more like the big brother I never had. Yesterday was an opportunity to give back to him, his new team and the beginning of the foundation of the house that Haddy built. He won’t take credit for it because it is all TEAM first. Me second.

Fresh meat. 55 of ‘em. Sitting there soft and undisciplined. You know it’s going to be a great afternoon when during the virgin set of swings a young man in the front row had his iPod plugs in. Coach Joe said “Are those headphones?” Kid “yes” Joe “Take them out before I rip them out!” “We will not tolerate that on this team.” That commanded attention from 55 young men immediately! Brought a tear to my eye as those were the days…and I didn’t even play football for him. We are talkin’ Lombardi style “deep down every man worth his salt yearns for discipline.” That’s what all of these kids are …unbridled fresh meat yearning for discipline; most of them have yet to discover that. These kids will come to know the depth of these 2 phrases in every sense of their existence: Personally Responsible. Individually Accountable.

We attacked them like a tiger attacking fresh kill…grab the jugular and hang on rippin’ into ‘em. 3 RKCs plus one that will be certified in 3 weeks. 92 degrees. 2 hours and change. 10 basic kettlebell drills. I will bet there was no other football team in the nation outside for 2 hours on this beautiful Sunday afternoon doing ANYTHING, let alone learning a new school of strength and conditioning unbeknownst to them their new weight training program starting today Monday 052107. We finished the day with a little injection of ‘Nellie Love’ …relays of swings and farmers walks that turned into runs. Coach wanted to see who wants it since he has only known them for 3 weeks. We put that to the test. Seniors vs. Seniors, Juniors vs Juniors, and down the ranks. 10 swings then Farmers carry 2 bells about 40 yards then the next person goes. After 2 hours of sweat, moans and glimmer of fear in some eyes I heard a couple of Frosh say ‘This is fun.’ Fun. What a concept. You mean these kids have the ability to learn discipline and have fun at the same time? I say ‘Welcome to the Beat Down.’ Now that’s what we are talking about. Instilling ‘FUN’ back into these kids. Then as my thoughts were going off into dreamland I was snapped to attention with ‘Bring it in and take a knee.’ Coach Joe said a few words and then passed it to me for some final thoughts. After a short 2 minute lecture on how Mountain Dew and Twinkies are not the best fuel for young football players dedicated to their craft we brought it home…there’s something that warms my heart about 9 coaches and 55 athletes breaking a huddle on… “EASY doesn’t pay!!”

I was very proud to be associated with this group of young men. They have no idea what they are in for this season. 3 words come to mind: Leadership. Perennial Powerhouse. I’ll give Coach Hadachek 2 years. No pressure on him. I just know his fiber. He will completely gut that program with a filet knife and stitch it back together with every ounce of his being. Is he back coaching because he misses it? Probably. Is he back coaching because he is going to impact young men for generations? Definitely.

Union Football. There is a wind in the air and it’s only May. This is one team that I guarantee will outwork its opponents. 11 weeks til 2-a-days. What a great country we live in.
