“Accomplishment will prove to be a journey, not a destination.”—Dwight D. Eisenhower

After eighteen months of training, 30,000 swings, and over 3,200 hundred get-ups, Dr. Richard Ulm, StrongFirst Certified SFG Level I Instructor, achieved Sinister; 100 swings and ten get-ups performed to the Sinister standards. Only 73 other men have accomplished this feat of strength, power, and conditioning with the 48kg kettlebell—time to celebrate and enjoy the accomplishment of so much work and dedication.

However, as Eisenhower noted, the accomplishment proved to be part of the journey, not the endpoint.

Dr. Ulm states:

…I accomplished what I thought to be an impossible task. It felt amazing. However, after celebrating that night with my wife… the predominant feeling I had was not excitement or jubilation as I expected; it was “now what?”

I was shocked how quickly the elation from my recent accomplishment, one that took almost two years to complete, washed away without a trace. I felt a little lost. I realized that it was not achieving Sinister that was fueling me; it was pushing myself to limits I wasn’t sure were possible.

So, where did the journey take Dr. Ulm?

Click here to read how the idea of Super Sinister came to be and how Dr. Ulm achieved the “next level” of Sinister with 100 unbroken swings and ten sets of 1 get-up every thirty seconds with only a 30-second break between.

Super Sinister, indeed!
