WHY the difference between Clean + Press vs. Clean → Press Matters

Image
As you may know if you’ve been reading these newsletters for any length of time, we’re big fans around here of the Clean + Press. It’s truly a transformative exercise. But one thing we haven’t really discussed is the difference between - The Clean + Press And - The Clean → Press (Clean THEN Press) … Especially in terms of doing multiple reps. Obviously 1 rep of each is identical. But after that? That’s where things start to change and why you might want to know the difference, especially if your goals are to get stronger or to get leaner. Let’s take a closer look: Clean + Press This is where you perform multiple reps of Clean + Presses, like this: Clean, Press, Clean, Press, Clean, Press… (Also called a “chain.”) [+] Creates a “force wave” from the Clean that transfers into the Press, which makes the Press feel easier [+] Spreads fatigue throughout the body [+] Decreases local muscular fatigue (Clean = hips, hamstrings, grip; Press = arms, shoulders) [+] Drives respiration [+] Great fo...

How to actually TEST your RM and measure your strength… (Instructions Inside)

How to act ually TEST your RM and measure your strength… (Instructions Inside) The other day I wrote about what to do if you test for your RM but it doesn’t actually line up with the given RM - like a 5RM or 10RM. But, it dawned on me I’ve never actually written down EXPLICIT instructions on HOW to test for your RM, until someone asked me over on the StrongFirst forum. So, you may want to print this out and put it in your training journal. Here are 3 ways to test for an RM (In context, it was for a 10RM, but it will work for any RM prescription - just adjust accordingly - i.e. swap out “10RM” with “XRM”): [1] Use the 5,4,3,2,1 countdown with progressively heavier bells as a warm up. Finish the last set - the "1" - with your old 10RM if you're going for a new 10RM. For some, this helps spare their energy. [2] Use a "DeLorme" modification: Set 1 = 50% of old 10RM, Set 2 = 75% of old 10RM, Set 3 = 10RM for max reps OR new weight attempt for new 10RM. [3] Use some l...

What’s better for muscle growth - Kettlebell Clean + Press OR….

Image
A lot of guys over 40 who get into kettlebells don’t really care about muscle - but they should. Especially if they want to “lose weight,” “get back in shape,” or dare I even say it, “Tone up.” Why? Muscle is your body’s “metabolic machinery.” It burns extra calories both at rest and at work. And the more muscle you have on your body, the more calories you burn at rest, and the more you burn while you work - Swing, Press, Snatch a kettlebell. And those two things are critically important for “losing weight.” And they're also important for “getting stronger.” The more muscle you have on your body, the greater strength potential you have. With that foundation set, I got this comment over one of my IG posts the other day - the answer to which I thought you’d find helpful. Great question. When discussing muscle growth, we need to think in terms of “systemic” vs. “localized.” “Systemic” is the impact a load or stimulus has on the body as a whole. “Localized” is the impact a load or stim...
