Ep. 458: Karen Smith, Master SFG, on Calisthenics and Kettlebells for Epic, Real-World Strength

The Hammer Cast

I'm joined on this epic episode (epic-sode?) by none other than Master SFG and fellow bodyweight fanatic Karen Smith.

In this episode we dive deep into a smorgasbord of spectacular stuff, including:

• her origin story and what got her into kettlebell training
• the fateful phone call she got from Pavel that inspired her to take on the challenge of nailing her first one-arm pushup
• the past, present, and future of the StrongFirst Bodyweight certification
• much, much more
