These are ideas I have on any given day of the week based on my own training, my clients’ training, my customers’ feedback, or things I’ve read. Hopefully you find them helpful. [1] Remember, the difference between the “elite” and the “amateur” is that the former has mastered (and still practices) “the basics.” Regardless of the discipline, those who are greatest in that discipline, have the greatest discipline. They master the basics of their discipline, of their skill. One of the reasons people don’t make progress with their training, is they choos...

https://go.chasingstrength.com/kettlebell-ghfl3/ This is the simplest way to use your kettlebells to produce GH so you can reverse the “Stomach Fat Cycle” See this? (the graphic at the beginning of the video) This is what researchers have coined the “Self-reinforcing cycle of increased visceral fat and reduced GH in states of abdominal obesity.” In Layman’s Terms: The “Stomach Fat Cycle.” It’s found in a study called, “Effects of Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone on Visceral Fat, Metabolic and Cardiovascular Indices in Human Studies”^ Here’s why that’s important to you. In the study, researchers discovered that - “Increased visceral adipose tissue (VAT) [stomach fat] is associated with reductions in endogenous GH secretion, possibly as a result of hyperinsulinemia, increased circulating free fatty acid, increased somatostatin tone, and reduced ghrelin.” Which essentially means that stomach fat - [1] Decreases your Fat Burning Youth Hormone - Growth Hormone, which - [2] Decreases your bo...

Use these exercises here. https://bit.ly/top-5-KB-exercises-for-men-over-40 It was recently Groundhog Day in the US. Strange “holiday” for sure - We look to Punxsutawney Phil to tell us if we have more winter or an early spring. Apparently, if Phil (is that even his real name?) sees his shadow, there’s 6 more weeks of [hard] winter ahead of us. If he doesn’t, it’s early spring. One of the funniest movies I ever saw was “Groundhog Day” with Bill Murray (of “Stripes” and “Ghostbusters” fame). In it, he plays Phil Connors, a cynical, narcissistic weatherman, sent to report on Punxsutawney Phil’s prediction on Groundhog Day, February 2nd. And Phil gets stuck in some kind of “cosmic glitch” / “time loop” where he has to repeat Groundhog Day until he “gets things right.” If you’re a Bill Murray fan, laughter ensues as “Phil” repeatedly screws things up and is repeatedly rejected by his main love interest, Rita. After repeating February 2nd ad nauseum, and learning new skills like ice sculptu...

👉 A single kettlebell technique course. https://salutis.kartra.com/page/BIG6-2 👉 A double kettlebell technique course. https://cart.chasingstrength.com/strong4 👉 And a mobility and restoration system. https://go.chasingstrength.com/the-sore-joint-solution/ I once had an RKC (Russian Kettlebell Challenge KB Instructor) working for me when I owned my KB studio. Jess was tough as nails, and was a rock climber. She also trained US Marines on one of the USMC bases in North Carolina. One day, she was telling me about a young private who dropped a kettlebell from overhead onto his face, breaking his jaw, losing several teeth, and spitting blood. How? We’ll get there in a minute. Now, that’s arguably the most gruesome injury I’ve heard of from using KBs. Others: I was on lunch break while teaching at the Chicago RKC c. 2011/12, and a young lady came up to us (the teaching cadre) holding her right arm. She said she thought she just tore her biceps while performing the RKC Snatch Test (100 re...

  https://go.chasingstrength.com/kettlebell-maximorum-e/ If you don’t want to figure out the planning process, do what George did and grab a copy of Kettlebell MAXIMORUM. I routinely get asked about the “best” workout or program structure. My response is usually, “Best for what?” As in, what exactly is your goal? And more specifically, you ever wondered what the “best” is for you? Well let’s take a closer look at the possibilities… Here are 10 common and not-so-common programming structures: [+] 3x week, Total Body [+] 3x week, A/B Split [+] 3x week - Heavy / Medium / Light (or some variation) [+] 3x week - Push / Pull / Legs (This one is making a resurgence in popularity) [+] 3x week - Max Strength / Hypertrophy / Power (or some variation) [+] 4x week - Upper / Lower / Upper / Lower [+] 4x week - Strength / Conditioning / Strength / Conditioning [+] 4x week - Power / Max Strength / Power / Max Strength [+] 5x week - “Bodybuilding Bro Split” - chest, back, legs, shoulders, arms [+]...

Here are some programs that will help, if you don’t want to figure this out on your own: The “Ultimate” Kettlebell Program https://go.chasingstrength.com/kettlebell-maximorum-e/ Minimalism At Its Finest https://salutis.kartra.com/page/alw494 Novice and Intermediate ULTRA-Minimalist For Improved Conditioning https://salutis.kartra.com/page/SWING-HARD-2 Advanced ULTRA-Minimalist For Improved Conditioning https://cart.chasingstrength.com/ksk2 Video Part 1 https://youtu.be/8Rmx2R5Qg9k?si=TQJRh52FMqBdn5jk Video Part 2 https://youtu.be/dZ3KAHjd8u0?si=HFTezEUjByUnUUlw One study[1] showed an increase in pre-to-post exercise cortisol from exercising at 30 minutes over 80% VO2max. (By contrast, the same study showed that lower intensity exercise reduced circulating cortisol levels.) Another study[2] demonstrated that short rest (30 seconds between sets) circuit training, using 70-75% of a 1RM, for 30 minutes, did NOT increase circulating cortisol levels during or post exercise. And in a seemin...

Some guys - many guys in fact - are concerned that they’ll lose strength and get weaker if they shift their focus from “getting stronger” to “getting leaner.” And that’s 100% true - IF you do it wrong - which most in the “traditional fitness world” do. Fortunately, you’re not in that world and you can use almost any of my programs to keep that from happening - to do it correctly. I recommend you use this program to “recomp” - simultaneously get stronger and leaner. https://go.chasingstrength.com/kettlebell-maximorum-e/ And if you want to just get leaner and strip off that stomach fat? One of the variations of this program will work too. https://go.chasingstrength.com/kettlebell-ghfl3/ The other day we started covering the “Fitter But FATTER” Phenomenon and dove headfirst into the reasons why this happens. (FBFP) Today, we’re covering the “The I.T. Effect” - The Intensity Threshold Effect. And that’s the point at which your body releases cortisol in response to your exercise. We’ll get ...

If you want to do something about it, this kettlebell program has yielded some impressive decreases in body fat and inches lost - especially because users didn’t watch what they ate. https://go.chasingstrength.com/kettlebell-ghfl3/ I don’t know if you’ve heard of this, so let me just give you a quick overview: The “Fitter But FATTER” Phenomenon occurs when you commit to an exercise program for a period of time - say 12 weeks - and instead of getting leaner, stronger and better conditioned… You just get stronger and better conditioned but you actually gain a few pounds / kilos and your pants get tighter in the waist, thighs, and butt. Why does this happen? Simple. Your workouts are either too long, too hard, or a combo of both. How “Long” is “Too Long?” Some interesting research from the University of Copenhagen back in 2010 examined this question. Two groups of men exercised daily for 13 weeks. One group exercised for an hour a day, the other for 30 minutes a day. Which group lost more...

Or close? I got an email from a gentleman asking telling me the very same thing. It was his biggest problem using kettlebells, even though he said he’d been using them for 20 years. In fact, I’d say it’s the BIGGEST PROBLEM in the Kettlebell Community. Why does this happen? TOO MUCH VARIETY. And conversely, NOT ENOUGH FOCUS. FOCUS. F. Follow O. One C. Course U. Until S. Successful (And sure, I get it - some people HYPER-focus with perceivably boring minimalist training - and burn themselves out.) Now of course, this assume...
