Honestly, I've seen Valery Fedorenko do some pretty amazing things strength wise, though he never trains with anything but KBs. When I talked the AKC out of their KB, Valery worked with me on some form issues. I was strong enough to manhandle the 70lb kb, but after he corrected my form on cleans and pressing I could do a pretty good number without getting too worn out. Wish I had two of them. In fact, I wish I had two of any KB other than my wife's 15lb-ers. I have a 25, a 45 and my 70, but all are singles so I get stuck doing unilateral movements because I don't have pairs.

I'm the only lightweight in my training group. The rest are middle up to heavy (one is a 400lb semi-pro football lineman). So it isn't me the buffet should fear! Honestly, it is the teens. The couple teenagers that work with us pack away some serious food. I can remember eating that way, but I pay for it now if I try to keep up
