A smoker or a food processor? A gun or a knife? The answer of course is YES. YES, each is better than the other, depending on the situation. On a track, or a ¼ mile strip, or outrunning the bad guy, I’ll take the Ferrari. Off road through the jungle, I’ll take the Land Cruiser. I got several emails over the last couple of days from guys worrying about missing out by “only” doing Clean + Presses, based on the following comment I made: “So, if you want to do everything you can to avoid that bleak future,...

Coming down the hill was a bigger, white haired gentleman with a beard. By “bigger,” I mean “muscular” but covered with a layer of fat. He was wearing a “weightlifting club” t-shirt with a picture of a dude doing a barbell Snatch. Being an ex-lifter, I couldn’t help myself - I stopped him and asked him about it. He told me he learned Olympic lifting as a 50-something year old from this guy and enjoye...

👉 Kettlebell Burn 2.0/Reloaded https://go.chasingstrength.com/kettlebell-burn/ 👉 Kettlebell Burn EXTREME! - https://salutis.kartra.com/page/D9h108 👉 ‘THE GIANT’ - https://salutis.kartra.com/page/oWP219 👉 Kettlebell MAXIMORUM: https://go.chasingstrength.com/kettlebell-maximorum-e/ In my most recent reader survey, “losing fat” “losing weight” was one of the top 5 topics people indicated was “the #1 thing they needed the most help with.” So, first things first: Here’s a nutrition template for you that will strip off body fat while using your KBs. It’s not sexy. But it works. Meal 1 - Breakfast: Protein shake - 50 grams of protein (2 scoops, usually) Meal 2 - Lunch: Protein shake - 50 grams of protein (2 scoops, usually) Meal 3 - Dinner: Solid meal - meat / chicken / fish + rice / potato / pasta + veggies There. Do that. Without complaint. Succeed. Now, on to the matter at hand: Your KB workouts. Before I share this with you, let me tell you how I “discovered” these 3 steps. When I wa...

My New Kettlebell Workout App: https://chasingstrength.com/giant-app/ https://go.chasingstrength.com/online-courses/ We tend to look for workouts / workout programs - especially inside the “Kettlebell World” that are like the Holy Grail - They “do it all” - [+] Make you strong like ancient Men of Renown [+] Peel the fat from your body, revealing rock hard, muscle definition, like a Greek god statue [+] Grant you ‘android-like’ work capacity, so you can run, ruck, race, and bike nearly forever barely breaking a sweat or getting out of breath What’s the difference between those who experience massive success using kettlebells and those who don’t? I’d say it’s 3 things: [1] The ability to follow directions [2] Stick-to-it-tiveness - the ability to follow through, persevere [3] The program design itself Your “Holy Grail” KB program will most likely change over the course of your life. Here are some examples of what I mean: Example #1: ‘THE GIANT’ is a single or double Clean + Press program...

👉 My New Kettlebell Workout App: https://chasingstrength.com/giant-app/ What is the “best” workout schedule to “Make Gainz?” How much do you really need to workout? Who should you listen to, and who’s really right? You may have heard of the gentleman I’m about to describe. He: Won 2x Olympic gold medals, 1x Olympic silver medal, 8x consecutive years World Championships, Set 26 world records spread over 4 bodyweight classes, IronMan Mr. World Bodybuilding Champ Was not subsidized, did not have fancy training quarters, coaches, and drug (steroid) free His name? Tommy Kono. His recommendations on the “best” workout schedule? Here are some of his statements from his book, Weightlifting, Olympic Style, which I think you’ll not only find valuable, but relieving. Kono on training time commitment: “You will be happy to learn that it is not necessary to spend 30 hours a week in the gym to become an outstanding Olympic weightlifter. Too many lifters and coaches have the impression that to becom...

👉 My New Kettlebell Workout App: https://chasingstrength.com/giant-app/ 👉 My Newsletter: https://chasingstrength.com/newsletter/ I’m still receiving feedback from the survey I sent out earlier in the week. One thing was for sure: Everyone who responded saw and acknowledged the need to train / workout. However… Three of the most common things people were frustrated with and needed help with - and this may or may not be you, {first_name} - I don’t know, because the survey was anonymous… Was “consistency” or “staying consistent.” Another was “discipline”. And yet another was “motivation.” Before I get to what they all have in common, have you ever experienced the following? “Invisible pressure,” like some kind of specter, that “pushes back” against you when it’s time to train / workout? Maybe it’s the feeling of having too much work left to do. Or spending time with your kids. Or being tired, having very little energy, or the most common - Not “feeling like it.” I know I have. What does...

👉 Kettlebell WOD https://salutis.kartra.com/page/Iyq450 👉 Inevitable Strength https://go.chasingstrength.com/inevitable-strength/ 👉 Kettlebell GHFL. https://go.chasingstrength.com/kettlebell-ghfl3/ 👉 The Giant App https://chasingstrength.com/giant-app/ Earlier this month I sent a survey to my newsletter readers in order to write about more things to help them reach their goals faster. I asked them the following questions: #1 - What’s your #1 BIGGEST FRUSTRATION? #2 - What’s the ONE thing you need the MOST help with? I’ll throw up a couple of screenshots of just some of the answers I received: So here’s what honestly shocked me: I already address most people's frustrations in my near-daily emails. And yet, they’re still frustrated. Case in point: You can see from those two screenshots that some of people’s common problems are: Time Time to train Time to workout Not having enough time to train with young kids … Yet this is one area I write about routinely, having experienced “ti...
