One of the best (and most ignored) ways of building seriously strong stems (i.e. legs) is through higher rep sets.

This might come as a surprise to anyone who has had the idea hammered into their head that low reps are the only way to go, but the truth is quite the contrary. I dish on why (and how) in this fun-filled, jam-packed episode.

Here are those videos for reference, too:

People are creatures of habit; we tend to find something we like and stick with it. As far as working out is concerned, kettlebells and bodyweight are a great example (and for good reason: they’ll deliver strength, fitness, mobility, and resilience gains for years to come and with relatively low occurrence of injuries provided you know what you’re doing).

However, mixing things up CORRECTLY can be one of the best things you ever do for your strength, fitness, and overall badazzery. This episode will give youa foray into one such tried-and-proven method.

If you’ve been lifting kettlebells even for just a short period of time, there’s one thing you’ve no doubt noticed: overhead pressing is just cool.

I still remember over 10 years ago when I first clean & pressed a 24 kg kettlebell over my head. It was a monumental occasion for me – and if you’d like more such monumental occasions, the tips in this episode just might help you build up your own military press faster than you can say “how much ya press, bro?”

Listen, learn, and apply.

Have fun and happy training!

Kettlebells have a long history among old school strongmen, weightlifters, circus performers, special operators, and countless other tough-as-nails men and women.

The reason why is simple:

The kettlebell is one of the most versatile tools around for building strength in every nook and cranny of your body. Combine them with bodyweight movements and you’ve got yourself a system that can forge bold new strength and crush endless amounts of weakness from here to eternity. Here are 4 ways YOU can use kettlebells (and bodyweight) to boost your strength from here to the moon.

Recently in my articles I’ve talked about a couple of important things you must know for your own long-term strength and health.

For best results for life-long strength gains, over the long run you need:

1) ‘General physical preparedness’ a la an intelligent variety of strength exercises

2) Various rep ranges for the exercises in your program

While it’s natural that we gravitate toward the exercises that we’re best at and that we like (same with certain rep and set ranges), if that’s all you ever do, you’ll work yourself into a corner and will find mainly plateaus, tweaks/injuries, and frustrations waiting for you.

This episode will give you some ideas on how you can steer your way toward your goals and away from the frustration of plateaus.

In the world of kettlebell training, the undisputed king of lifts is the overhead press.

In fact, in the “olden days”, long before the bench press was the apple of any gym rat’s eye, the clean and press was THE measure of upper body strength. Still is, as far as I’m concerned.

However!

There is another contender that at LEAST deserves consideration for the #2 spot. I dish on that in this episode (which you won’t wanna miss)

There are a few things people often tell me they want:

1) To get stronger with kettlebells and bodyweight exercises

2) To have a routine that fits their time budget (usually around 20–30 minutes 4–5 times per week)

And let’s be honest, this is most of us.

So how can we get at least closer to this goal when we have sub-optimal issues to deal with like our sleep, eating, etc?

This episode will reveal 3 1/2 ways (that’s right, 3 1/2) of doing just that.

I’ve talked recently about several of the key things you need to turn your workouts from sucky to spectacular. Among them were things like training odd angles, getting generally strong before specifically strong, your exercise selection, etc.

But just like how you need your vegetables in addition to your steak, you also need exercises you typically ignore or don’t excel at as much in order to get truly strong and fit.

I dish on how to do that in this fine episode.

Let’s talk about your workouts and how to make them less sucky (unless you’re getting the results you want, that is; in which case, keep up the good work).

There are usually two primary culprits that lead to you having sucky workouts:

1) Too much variety

2) Not enough variety

A paradox, you say? Not quite. As former senior kettlebell instructor Rob Lawrence has said:

“I need specificity to get me strong and variety to keep me sane.”

In other words, you need a balance, of sorts.

I dish on how to get to that semblance of balance in this fine episode…
