In this episode, I welcome Antoni Poblocki to discuss his impressive strength achievements, particularly his recent half-bodyweight press of 40 kilograms. Antoni shares how he discovered my work through a friend's recommendation and his journey into kettlebell training. He also discusses his passion for historical reenactments, focusing on the early medieval ages in Europe, and how that has influenced his physical training. Antoni explains the evolution of his kettlebell training, from group sessions to individual work at home, and the strategies that helped him achieve his recent pressing milestone. Looking ahead, he outlines his plans to potentially complete the SFG2 certification and participate in a challenging "Top Team" competition in Poland. Throughout the conversation, Antoni and I explore the cultural and historical significance of strength training, particularly in the Polish context.
