The Red Pen habit that quietly keeps good guys weak…

September 22, 2026

Get the Best Professionally Designed Program For Your Goal Here – and THIS Time Run It EXACTLY As Written https://chasingstrength.com/which-kettlebell-workout-program-is-right-for-me/ You bought the program. You opened it. And somewhere in the first five minutes, the red pen came out. Tuesday won't work. That exercise doesn't feel right. The reps are too low and the rest is too long. A few tweaks later, you've quietly rebuilt it into something that looks a lot like what you were already doing. The thing that wasn't working. Which is the whole reason you went looking for a new one. THE PATTERN (tell me if this sounds familiar) New program arrives. You're fired up. You start reading. Then the negotiating begins. "Tuesday won't work because of my schedule." "I don't like that exercise — I'll swap it." "The reps look too low. I'll add more." "The rest periods are too long. I'll shorten them." Nothing crazy.

How do I fit running into my kettlebell program 😳

September 21, 2026

Here's what I used to get rid of the last 10-15% of my knee and joint issues https://go.chasingstrength.com/sore-joint-solution-p3-protocol Get the Fat Off and Protect Your Joints So You Can Run Again – Grab “Kettlebell Burn 2.0 https://go.chasingstrength.com/kettlebell-burn-sa4/ A 51-year-old man from Norway asked me how to fit 2-3 runs a week into his kettlebell program. My answer wasn't what he expected. And it's probably not what you expect either. But after 30 years of coaching men over 40 — and personally going from cottage-cheese kneecaps and torn hip labrums to running, jumping, and full Olympic lifts pain-free — I can tell you with certainty: Most guys are doing this in the wrong order. And that sequence mistake is what's compounding the damage. THE SEQUENCE (in plain English): Phase 1 — Get the weight off first: Don't run while overweight. Every extra kilo is multiplied by 3-5x of impact force on your knees with every stride. Get the fat moving first. Kett...

Do you NEED to train for muscle size? (NEW Science on Strength vs. Size)

September 19, 2026

Build Muscle & Get Stronger WITHOUT Training to Failure using THE GIANT X. 👉 https://salutis.kartra.com/page/giant-x A 132-pound man Clean + Jerked 418 pounds. A 405-pound man Clean + Jerked 587. If muscle size automatically determined strength, the bigger man should have lifted over 1,200 pounds. He can't. Nobody can. So what actually makes you stronger — and do you need more muscle to keep getting there? The answer is more complicated than either answer you've probably heard. Here's what the research actually shows. THE RESEARCH BEHIND THIS VIDEO: Marques et al. — 15-week quad hypertrophy study (39 untrained men) Greg Nuckols, Stronger by Science — statistical analysis of the hypertrophy-strength relationship Schoenfeld, Ogborn & Krieger 2017 — volume and muscle growth meta-analysis Grgic et al. 2021 — failure vs. stopping short for hypertrophy Izquierdo et al. — cortisol response to failure training in older men Refalo et al. 2023 — muscle growth with 4-5 reps ...

Which is Better - SINGLE Kettlebell or DOUBLE Kettlebell Training?

September 18, 2026

Here’s a list of kettlebell workout programs based upon the Pyramid and your goals. 🔗 https://chasingstrength.com/which-kettlebell-workout-program-is-right-for-me/ Single or double kettlebell training — which is actually better? Short answer: both. But probably not the way you're currently using them. After 30 years of coaching men over 40, the most common mistake I see isn't the wrong exercise. It's the wrong tool at the wrong stage — and it's quietly costing guys months of progress. THE HONEST BREAKDOWN: Single kettlebell training is great for: ✅ Learning proper kettlebell technique from scratch ✅ Finding and fixing left-right strength imbalances ✅ Training your core's anti-rotation function ✅ Building stabilization strength (spine and pelvis) ✅ Power training with lighter loads at higher speeds ✅ Conditioning, grip strength, and fat loss Single kettlebell training is NOT great for: ❌ Building significant muscle mass ❌ Developing brute, maximal strength Double ke...

New Study 100% ALL-CAUSE Mortality Rate for people who do THIS… 😳

September 17, 2026

Train for Power AND Strength with “Kettlebell MAXIMORUM” 🔗 https://go.chasingstrength.com/kettlebell-maximorum-e/ A 2025 Mayo Clinic study followed 3,889 people for 11 years. The ones with the lowest muscle power were 6 times more likely to die than the most powerful. Not the weakest. The least powerful. There's a difference. And after 40, it's the most important distinction in your training. 📌 THIS IS PART 2 OF A 2-PART SERIES: In Part 1, I gave you 8 science-backed reasons training to failure is wrong for men over 40. I held back the two biggest reasons for this video — because they're not about strength or muscle. They're about how long you stay in the game and how well you move while you're doing it. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: Why power fades 2 to 3.5x faster than strength after 40 — and accelerates after 60 What's actually happening inside your muscle as you age (and what stops it) One variable that determined whether men built power or just endurance — same ...

The TOP 5 Exercises For Men Over 40?

September 16, 2026

Customer favorite: “Rebuilt After 40” https://go.chasingstrength.com/rebuilt-after-40/ For Coaching, email me with subject line “Coaching” at geoff@chasingstrength.com Most "best exercises for men over 40" lists are just normal exercise lists with an age sticker slapped on them. Lower the weight. Stretch more. Add a warm-up. That's not a plan. After 30 years of coaching men over 40 - and rebuilding my own body through back, hip, knee, and shoulder injuries - I've learned that the problem isn't effort. It's a missing foundation. In this video I give you the 5 exercises every man over 40 should be doing, based on what a 40+ body actually needs - not what looks impressive on Instagram.
