    In this annual St. Patrick's Day special, host Jordan Kunde-Wright of the Twin Cities Kettlebell Club once again reunites with David Keohan—affectionately known as “Indian Stones.” This yearly tradition marks a time to toast the holiday together while catching up on David's newest achievements. From launching his craft beer, Mullán, to filming a funded one-hour documentary for RTÉ, David continues to champion Ireland's rich heritage of stone lifting.Listeners will hear how David's passion for preserving Celtic culture has led him to discover more than 48 historic stones throughout the Irish countryside—some weighing upwards of 200 kilos. He shares humorous anecdotes about powerlifters struggling with the awkward heft of these behemoths, proving that raw barbell strength doesn't always translate to practical lifting. Meanwhile, Jordan swaps stories about hauling logs in his backyard, underscoring the primal satisfaction of moving “real world” weight.Amid all the laughter and celebration, David reveals his forthcoming trip to Boston, where he'll inaugurate a brand-new lifting stone at a cultural center and offer stone lifting workshops. He also discusses The Wind Under It, his upcoming book set to be published worldwide by Bloomsbury, and hints at a possible PhD focusing on these ancient stones. Whether you love strongman feats, enjoy a good pint, or simply want to revel in genuine Irish spirit, this annual conversation offers a fascinating glimpse into the ever-expanding world of Celtic stone lifting.

    This episode is presented by Morpheus Training. They're a new sponsor of the 2023 WKSF Open North American Championship, and I'm incredibly excited to have them as a partner. The Morpheus training system is a heart rate based training system, but what makes it unique is that it adjusts your daily heart rate training zones based on your HRV test each morning helping you better train in accordance with your readiness on a given day. Additionally, if your coach is on the Morpheus coaching platform (like I am) you can grant them access to your data so they can see how your longitudinal trends on HRV, sleep, training intensity, and more correlate to your performance. There's way more to it than I can articulate in this brief intro, but it is an excellent tool to add to your toolbox to help you progress with data driven insights and systems. In this episode, I dive in on the basics of energy systems including how our body breaks down nutrients to create energy, the pathways we use to produce energy, and an overview of the 3 energy systems.
