I’ve been in the kettlebell world long enough to know that there’s only one type of press anyone gives two hoots about: the military press. And you know what? Military pressing *is* great! I like it a lot. But unless you want serious gaps in your strength and pain-filled shoulders, eventually you’re going to have to press in a few other directions.

Which directions?

Well, tune the frick in and find out.

I’ll never forget the first time I came in contact with what I know call the 3-Speed Kettlebell Method. It wasn’t called that by anyone else, but rather it’s a name I derived from what I consider kettlebell training’s “3 speeds”. Listen in and I’ll tell you all about it, friendo.

I’m a big believer in two things:

1) Being time efficient during workouts

2) Being energy INefficient during workouts

The time efficiency thing is just a given; unless you have boatloads of time on your hands (who does?), you need to plan to get in, out, and noticeably strong in a short period of time.

This episode contains just such a plan.

Cows are good for many things: providing fresh milk, turning grass into delicious steaks, jumping over the moon in your favorite children’s book, etc.

But one thing they certainly AREN’T good for is being “sacred”. Find out which of the strength world’s so-called ‘sacred cows’ need to be unceremoniously slaughtered by tuning in to this episode.

There are very few TRULY hard-and-fast rules to strength and conditioning, but there are lots of guidelines. When it comes to those of us who train at home, having some trusty, go-to modes of operation can help you gain more from your workouts.

One of those things is using calisthenics for strength and kettlebells for conditioning only.

Obviously you don’t have to do this forever, but if you’ve never tried it, lemme tell ya: it’s worth a shot.

Why is that?

There are a couple of reasons – all of which will be revealed on this fine show. Tune in, grab some popcorn, and enjoy.

I’ve noticed two unfortunate patterns in people as they get older who continue to strength train:

1) They get less and less mobile

2) They get more and more tweaks and outright injuries

While the above two things are most certainly related to one another, they are NOT related to the discipline of strength training. Or at least they don’t have to be. In this episode I will dish on exactly how to make that dream a reality.

Some time back I went out to dinner with a gal with whom I had a bunch of great conversations over some stellar whiskey-marinated steaks. And given my profession, naturally health, strength, and working out all ended up on the menu of conversation as well.

She is a nurse who was working toward her doctorate and was (as you might rightly imagine) busy AF all the dang time. One topic that came up was the following:

“How do you work out when you’re busy AF?”

I aim to answer exactly that question on this fine episode. Tune in and check it out.

If you thought you couldn’t impact your upper body strength by increasing the strength of your lower body…well, you’re sorely mistaken, pal. And your penance shall be to listen to this podcast and take ample notes (oh, and test this stuff out for yourself; I think you’ll find it holds true).

There are loads of great ways to get stronger and more powerful.

Without a doubt, the 2nd best option to effectively increase your strength and power is to arrange your workouts according to DUP — Daily Undulating Periodization. This is simply a way of cycling through the various different rep ranges (3–5/8–12/15–25) to make sure you leave no stone unturned.

(And technically speaking, you don’t even have to swing the rep ranges that drastically; oftentimes even just a mild change in reps per set can still work wonders)

Why is this important?

Well, wouldn’tcha know it? I cover *exactly* that topic on this issue of the Hammer Cast.
