Gainsgiving!
If there’s one thing we collectively both look forward to AND dread all at the same time during the month of November, it’s Thanksgiving.
It seems like the ubiquitousness of a huge family argument started by your crazy uncle or that attention-seeking cousin of yours can really put a damper on just how much you enjoy the family togetherness.
Well, despite their best efforts to ruin everyone’s fun and LARP (“live action role play”) as a TV pundit who gets paid for starting trouble, there’s one thing they CAN’T take away from you, and that’s your ability to get stronger – a LOT stronger.
If you’ve followed me long enough, you know that I’m big on getting strong as an ox while learning how to move like a ninja – all with a minimum of equipment and a maximum of tried-and-true methodology.
The #1 thing you need to know about strength is this: There are 2 major categories of it.
- Systemic strength – this is where you train strength as a skill, and is how most of us train most of them time. Some of the hallmarks of systemic strength training are: low reps (1-5 per set), moderate to high sets (5-10), plenty of rest between sets (2-5 minutes), and very few movements (2-3). These workouts can get pretty long.The #1 standout feature of this style of strength training is that it trains the nervous system to become more efficient at given movements. This type of strength is limited by your structure.
- Structural strength – this is where you train to increase your strength by fortifying your physical structure – i.e. your muscles and even connective tissues (and this can be done in shorter, less-frequent workouts)
Doing this helps you to solidify and strengthen your biggest weak link – the one holding back your ability to lift heavier kettlebells or do advanced variations of bodyweight exercises.Because your overall (aka ‘systemic’) strength is *limited* by your muscles and connective tissues, one of the best and most reliable ways to break down your current barriers and capture all-new territory in your quest for big strength gains is to build some muscle
And not an obscene amount of muscle, either. Even just a little extra can open the flood gates of new and jaw-dropping gains.
Today I’m re-releashing my 6-week kettlebell and bodyweight strength + muscle building program, Gainsgiving, to help you do just that.
In this program you will learn:
- Why ancient history’s most famous (and possibly most jacked) Greek philosopher was a staunch believer in physical excellence (page 3)
- Why almost all athletes from time immemorial made it a mission to cultivate lean, functional muscle in order to dominate their competition and cement their names in eternity (page 4)
- The Fab 5 reasons why muscle-building is a MUST if you ever hope to overcome your long-term training plateaus and frustrating lack of progress (pages 5-8)
- How both science and experience confirm beyond a shadow of a doubt why it is absolutely crucial to aim to add muscle at least SOME of the time to charge boldly forward in your raw strength and brute power (page 5)
- #1 little-known physiological law that you have to BREAK – thoroughly and flagrantly – to keep from stagnating in the short term and sliding backward in the long term (how more so-called strength ex-spurts don’t know this is beyond me) (pages 5-6)
- The reason that tried-and-true, old-school muscle building is truly a “fountain of youth” for men and women in their 40s and 50s, allowing you to combat and counteract an insidious yet almost unknown phenomenon that creeps into your body year after year once you hit your 40s (pages 6 and 7)
- A modern-day physical culturist reveals the odd (yet easily observable) reason why your smarts may not keep you out of physical danger, but your muscularity almost certainly will (page 8)
- The 3 Commandments of Strength (hint: the very first one is what Pavel recently referred to as “the most abused training variable”) (pages 10-15)
- 2 excellent set and rep schemes for sure-fire muscle growth (page 14)
- The Great 8 kettlebell and bodyweight movements for real-world strength, muscle, and badazzery in no time flat (pages 15-22)
- Insider tips on how to put time back on your side and maximize your muscle growth and strength (pages 26-27)
- A 6-week done-for-you program to get you in, out, jacked, and strong in no time flat (pages 28-45)
- Much, much more!
Cost for the whole 6-week challenge is just $68 – just a hair over $11 per week, or $3.77 per workout.
