Back From the RKC

Got back Sunday night from the RKC. This is just such a great event that many in the KB community take for granted. It is by far the most cutting-edge program on the market today (...and Z-Health). I'm amazed at how many "fit" individuals show up and surprise themselves at how fit they aren't. There is nothing like this in the industry. Just the "quick fixes" alone for simple exercises like squats are worth the price of admission.

Here are the reasons I went back in June 2005:

1. I couldn't perform 2 Hand Swings without back pain and couldn't figure out any way around it.
2. I wanted the "Secret Quick Fixes"--I was tired of following the 12 week plan of the "sports medicine" program I had been sold, and which, by-the-way, didn't work very well.
3. Community: I wanted to get to know other like-minded individuals.

I really love the RKC because of the simplicity: The principles are rock solid and the methods are so simple. In fact, they seem "too simple." No one else in the industry teaches this stuff. As a friend of mine says, "You can't teach what you don't know."

RKC and Z-Health, Part 1

There seems to be some confusion within some circles about whether these are compatible systems. The short answer: Yes, they're compatible. I'll elaborate in my next post. But let's just say for now that there are many more similarities than differences. From the RKC Manual:

"The emphasis on technique over routines, exercises, and workloads. The latter are marginal until the technique is perfect."
