Parts of my daily and personal life and topics affecting our idiosyncrasy and health approaches
Summarizing aspects of exercise science, biomechanics, nutrition, and mindset can get rather touchy since there are sooo many valid good points. There are hundreds of lists floating around, all equally valid. You will find many variations of them, but you will also find some common ground.
Many will love this list, many will not, but what’s certain is that there many unavoidable truths in there, and facing truths makes many very uncomfortable.
Regardless, here you go!
What’s up with this “Salty Love†thing? Hey, get your mind out of the gutter, ain’t nothing like that. The Salty Love comes from the beautiful waters in my backyard, Puget Sound.
Those who know me know how much I love scuba diving. There’s a power in salt water I cannot describe and there is a need in me to be close to it and be part of it. The first time I visited the underwater world in scuba gear was one that changed my life, a moment of enrichment and completeness. My fellow divers know very well what I’m talking about.

So what is it?

Nevertheless, it helped many open their eyes and fine tune their approach so here it is again.
This is an excerpt from my upcoming book “Kettlebells for a Fit Diver” and I hope you enjoy it!
Let me tell you how I got to love kettlebells for scuba diving. Many years ago after heeding the beckoning of the underwater world, I was getting ready for my open water diver certification. My concern was how not having done any extensive swimming in many years would affect my performance in the testing portion. At that point, my training program was kettlebell lifting almost exclusively.
The quest for perfection is one that is misunderstood and responsible for procrastination and poor productivity. Here is my battle to overcome the powerful grip of petty perfectionism and how the works of the most influential artist in the world made me realize there’s more to life than being perfect to succeed.
