Ever heard that saying “he missed the forest for the trees”?

Of course, we all have.

When it comes to kettlebell training, a LOT of kettlebell enthusiasts have huge blind spots, namely due to their stubborn refusal to do any movements that were not personally approved of by their guru of choice.

But long gone must be those days of artificially limiting yourself to what movements you allow yourself to do, and it can all start with this episode. Tune in and give this tip a shot.

It’s no secret that I love kettlebells and bodyweight exercises as much as you do — maybe even a little bit more. But I’ll tell you what, there are 3 things I don’t like about the way most people train bodyweight and kettlebells, and 2 movements – 1 bodyweight, 1 kettlebell – that I DO like for building epic shoulder strength and more. Listen in for the details – you’re not gonna wanna miss this one!

“Unfortunately, a lot of people think in terms of just ‘lifting weight’…they’re missing half of the rep (by skipping the negative).”

– Dorian Yates, 6-time Mr. Olympia

When it comes to getting stronger, there are a number of factors at play. The standard variables that we focus on for programming strength building are:

1) Intensity (amount of weight/level of difficulty of an exercise)

2) Volume (number of reps)

3) Density (amount of work done in a given time)

You can look at these as your “main course” variables for strength programming.

But just like no meal is complete without a few side dishes, neither is your programming complete without honing in on the nuances that will help you make the most of your meal. I dish on precisely that in this episode.

Some time back I got an awesome email from Jonathan, one of my Inner Circle members, where he talks about how he was essentially able to ‘steal strength’ and perform some intermediate and advanced strength moves without practicing them, thanks to his focus on one of the missing links of strength training. This episode focuses on that “missing link” and how to potentially get similar gains.

When it comes to strength and physical prowess, nothing quite beats Old Man Strength.

You know the type: where a guy (or gal) who looks perfectly unassuming or average has a grip like an industrial vice or can help move a giant, awkward object like a huge antique dinner table or some other huge chunk of furniture seemingly without much strain and without breaking a sweat.

I’ve long been working on my old man strength (it’s high time, too, given that I’m on the wrong side of 30 now), but I’ve still got a long way to go to catchup with some of these folks — most of whom would become absolute physical specimens to behold if they trained more seriously, but I digress.

While most people write this off as an anomaly or a fluke, old man strength actually holds a number of the keys to life-long strength, health, and fitness.

How?

Let me count the ways. Listen in and learn.

For many people, the final frontier of their fitness is training their gait pattern.

Today I want to continue to talk about that frontier, and go even beyond it, into seemingly esoteric directions (though as you’ll soon see, they’re very much grounded in real, actionable steps). I’m gonna talk a bit about what I consider the “fifth element” of fitness and one of the least-used keys in our quest for a lean, youthful-feeling body that performs as well into our later decades as it did in our younger ones (and arguably better).

Tune in to find out WTF I’m talking about…

I’d be willing to bet evergreen dollars to shiny shekels that the Israelites were some pretty strong mofos after 40 years of wandering in the desert.

Why?

Because they practiced THIS movement pattern a whole helluva lot during that time. Tune in to find out.

One of the things I’ve found is that when it comes to crossing over into the next step in their training, one of the most common questions people will ask me is “How do I keep all the strength I built doing X, Y, and Z exercises when moving on to new ones?”

Great question. And an easy one to answer.

So easy, in fact, that I dive deep into it in this short episode. Listen and enjoy.

There are 3 major things you need to know about flexibility work for better, more youthful movement. I dive into them on this fine episode, which I am sure you’re gonna love (you’d better, anyway).

Get my 9-Minute Kettlebell & Bodyweight Challenge FREE here: http://www.9MinuteChallenge.com A gal named Kristen Mitchell — a busy mom with a full-time job — wrote to me a while back after finishing one of my free programs, The Anytime, Anywhere Bodyweight Strength Program.

It’s an ambitious-but-sensible program I designed that uses only bodyweight exercises at various degrees of intensity with a laser-sharp focus on technique to build strength and fitness safely and surely while providing a guide on how to find the right variation/intensity level of each exercise to lead you from where you are to wherever you want to go.

Here I talk about what makes such a program successful. Have a listen and enjoy!
