Kettlebell Workouts with Master Geoff Neupert

“Rebuilt After 40” - Schedule B or C.  https://go.chasingstrength.com/rebuilt-after-40/ https:// salutis. kartra.com/page/M82491 My favorite way, and arguably the BEST way I’ve benefitted from bodyweight training over the years, is to use bodyweight exercises as what I call - Functional Antagonistic Balance Training. (Or FAB’s.) This was arguably one of the most amazing discoveries I stumbled upon. Yeah I know, sounds fancy and may even make me sound important. (Honestly, I don’t recall who I learned this from - it seems to me it was physical therapist Gary Gray or master performance coach Vern Gambetta, but I could be wrong. Strongman and Hand Strength expert, Jedd Johnson of the Diesel Crew actually refreshed my memory about 15 years ago in one of his grip training manuals about this concept.) It made my training fun again and because it had been years, if ever, since I included some of these exercises in my programming, I made very rapid gains. And as we know, gains (“GAINZ!”) a...

Level Up Your Kettlebell Game here: https://go.chasingstrength.com/kettlebell-burn/ I might have underestimated you. See, 6 years ago when I rebooted my newsletter and then started sporadically making these videos based upon conversations I was having, it appeared that most guys - maybe or even probably you - Only could “afford” 3x 20-30 minute workouts a week due to their demanding time schedules. But what I’ve noticed through probably thousands of customer emails and forum posts at this point 6 years later, is that is simply not true.  Or only partially true. There are plenty of guys who can do more… want to do more… and are craving more. I see it in all the time emails with questions like: “What else can I add to [PROGRAM NAME]?” “What can / should I do on my ‘off’ days?” “Can I still do [EXERCISE NAME]?” To name but 3 “archetype” emails. Not only that, even though I care about being strong and have stated that I’m tired of writing about “fat loss,” “losing fat”, and “weight los...

https://g o.chasingstreng th.com/kettlebell-maximorum-e/ 22 reasons why guys our age should stay away from training to failure: 1. No strength advantage when volume is matched (failure vs. non-failure are similar). https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9068575/   https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26666744/ 2. Hypertrophy is similar when volume is matched; any edge for failure is small and mainly with very light loads.  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9068575/   https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9935748/ 3. Failure sessions produce more acute fatigue, muscle damage, and higher perceived effort - worse next-session readiness.  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34881412/   https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11057610/ 4. Non-failure lets you train more often (frequency) and accumulate productive volume - key for hypertrophy over 40.  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27102172/ 5. Lower “velocity loss” (i.e., stop sets before grinding) preserv...

If you’re a relatively advanced KB trainee (comfortable with the basic doubles exercises), and you need a program that has all 3 Self-Disciplines “baked in” for you... ... Guys are loving the results they’re getting from this one. https://go.chasingstrength.com/kettlebell-maximorum-e/ And if you’re not? Well, it’s not a “too bad for you” situation. I recommend you use this time-tested single KB program.  https://go.chasingstrength.com/burn-sa1/ It’s a single KB training program with all 3 of those self-disciplines included. If you’re like most of us, your introduction to the weight pile was probably vis-a-vis bodybuilding, Muscle & Fitness, and / or Arnold “Get To The Choppa” Schwarzenegger. Which, of course, is why many, if not most, guys over 40 think the epitome of “getting in shape” or “being in shape” is to “look like a bodybuilder”. And that means working out (training) like a bodybuilder. And, of course means - Bodypart splits (Chest & Tri’s, Back & Bi’s, Shoulde...

1- Restore your joint health  https://go.chasingstrength.com/sore-joint-solution-e/ 2- Swing programming to increase VO2max (and also burn body fat) https://salutis.kartra.com/page/SWING-HARD-2 3- Snatch programming for hitting Snatch Tests  https://cart.chasingstrength.com/ksk2 4- Total body strength & conditioning  https://go.chasingstrength.com/kettlebell-maximorum-e/ 5- All of the above, while stripping off unwanted body fat  https://go.chasingstrength.com/burn-sa3/ Many of us guys live in the “used to coulds" or “back in the day.” When we think of who we are, we’re the guy who “back in the day” “used to” [insert whatever physical pinnacle you reached]. And for some, if not many, it becomes hard to get or stay motivated when it seems we’ve fallen so far from what we used to be - who we once were. It can be a painful reminder. Know what I mean? For example, a little over 25 years ago - a literal lifetime ago - I qualified for the USA Weightlifting National Cha...

“Done-For-You” Clean + Press Program: https://salutis.kartra.com/page/oWP219 “Done-For-You” Clean + Press, Front Squat, & Snatch Program: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1iC1c5rQw-8peRsy-6Wj3QDSFSq3m89LU-vuVM5uvb9o/ How much should you rest between sets? How many reps are enough? These are questions I routinely get in my email inbox. And here’s the simplest answer I can give you: The higher the load or effort relative to your repetition maximum (RM) - regardless of what it is, the more you should / will need to rest between sets and the less reps you’ll be able to do per set. “Yeah, but is EMOM good?” “And how many sets should I get in a workout?” Again, see the bold print above. Said differently:  The general rule of thumb is, the lighter the weight relative to your maximum, the more reps you’ll be able to do per training session, and the less you’ll need to rest between sets. This is why I generally recommend two different training RMs for people: 4-5RM = Pure Strength 10R...
