by Ollie Quinn
How do you go from plumber to Royal Marine to StrongFirst Certified Team Leader? This week, Ollie Quinn shares insights on the impact kettlebells made on his life, career, and training. He discusses: - Embracing making do with what you have—staying in shape while being deployed; - The devil is in the details—how meeting Pavel changed the way he trained (which reduced his pain);
