Flip Weakness the Bird with…

Bird Dogs of Paradise!

When I was a kid, “flipping someone the bird” (i.e. showing them your middle finger) was the ultimate act of disrespect (and sometimes an invitation to a fight).

In fact, I remember on my second day of middle school a kid on my bus flipped off Mrs. Jasa (the assistant principal) and she chased down the bus, had the driver stop, pulled the kid off, and got him expelled!

In other words, “the bird” was pretty potent.

And as luck would have it, other types of bird have also been known to have an outsized effect.

Take the bird dog, for example.

Originally a move that mysteriously made its way into yoga (no one seems to know exactly how), it was picked up on by athletic trainers, strength coaches, and physical therapists for its uncanny ability to build borderline bulletproof badazzes who not only saw huge gains in their resilience, but also

It might well have ended up buried within the toolboxes of these coaches and trainers if not for the keen eye of Original Strength, which noticed that the bird dog worked wonders at helping people ‘connect their X’ (that is, train the body’s natural X-pattern design) while also laying waste to the various other movement road blocks keeping them from lifting heavier and performing more effortlessly.

Yet up til now it’s been largely ignored by the kettlebell and bodyweight community.

And what a shame, too, because if you work your bird dogs hard enough and consistently enough, there’s a whole huge plethora of gains you can expect to see from them – from heavier swings and snatches to more effortless presses and Get Ups and possibly even breakthroughs in your one-arm pushups, pistol squats, and more.

I show you my wily ways in my brand-new 28 day challenge Bird Dogs of Paradise.

In this challenge you will learn:

• Why bird dogs have long been a “secret weapon” in the toolbox of strength coaches, athletes, and even rehab specialists to shore up weaknesses and practically force the body to hand over new and exciting strength and athletic adaptations – sometimes in as little as a few minutes!
• The counter-intuitive “secret” approach to strength training that can help you harness the full power of your Soft Machine to hand over as much brute power and raw might as possible – no wailing or gnashing of teeth required!(Hint: bird dogs, as well as select other moves you may already be familiar with, play a big role)
• Why mobility and even flexibility work alone are only HALF the battle for forging a bulletproof body – and why bird dogs and other select movements are uniquely suited to crafting a physique that can take punishment as well as dish it out!
• A unique “insider’s look” at the body from the Original Strength perspective – and how to reimagine the body’s X-pattern design with bird dogs to help you easily and effectively crush weakness in the most common places it lurks!(In fact, I don’t think I’ve seen or heard of this approach to looking at the divisions of the human body ANYWHERE outside of the secretive, very-first-ever Original Strength instructor’s manual)
• How bird dogs help you harness one of the most powerful forces and ‘keys to athleticism’ that the body is capable of – rotation – and bring it under your complete control for unparalleled levels of advanced kettlebell and bodyweight domination.
• 3 key bird dog variations to practice to forge top-to-bottom strength and physical control in record time
• The “core 4” technique modifications that can help you craft light years greater command of your body from head to toe – WITHOUT even adding a single rep to your practice!
• 3 tried-and-true set and rep schemes to help you knock out 100 bird dogs a day with relative ease
• A 28-day done-for-you routine that can be done right alongside your regular training – no need to put your current workouts on hold
• Much, much more!
