Kettlebell Workout Programs To Match Your Level on the Pyramid: https://chasingstrength.com/which-kettlebell-workout-program-is-right-for-me/ I got an email the other day from a disappointed customer. He purchased one of my toughest kettlebell products – full of double kettlebell complexes – and he struggled to complete one of the programs with his selected pair, so he completed it with a single 20kg.  Then, he did the same thing again with a single KB program – He selected a bell that was too heavy to complete that program. His results? Disappointment. So, he emailed me and asked me if he should use “X weight” or “Y weights” and how he should proceed.  Before I tell you exactly what I told him, let’s have a quick, yet incredibly important “training philosophy” review. Strength, like playing the piano, is a skill. It takes practice. It can’t be rushed. There’s no app to download and no easy button to push. If you are ignorant of this fact, or choose to ignore it – You will at ...

The Best Kettlebell Workout Plan For You? 👉 https://chasingstrength.com/which-kettlebell-workout-program-is-right-for-me/ My training partner sent me a video clip of a well known bodybuilder the other day who seems to have defied time. Now, you know I’m not a big fan of bodybuilders, but this guy fascinates me for several reasons: He’s a black belt in judo and I believe he won the California State Championships when he was younger He was on the TV show, “American Gladiators” – as one of the gladiators He was a powerlifting champ – and STILL strong as an ox And he’s my age - early 50s - but looks like he’s in his early 30s. (And I’ve been following him – from a distance – since the 1990s.) What he said in this video clip was essentially this (and I’m paraphrasing): “If you’ve been going to the gym, training for 10, 15, 20 years – great – but where’s the evidence? It’s not the time you put in, but the quality time you’re putting in.” That’s a great point. And unfortunately, it’s what ma...

‘THE GIANT’ Strength & Conditioning Program: 👉 https://salutis.kartra.com/page/oWP219 If you’re the kind of guy who NEEDS to workout / train daily in order to be consistent, use this program instead.  👉 https://salutis.kartra.com/page/Iyq450 If you’ve ever said… “I struggle with consistency.” Then hopefully this will be an “a-ha” moment for you: You don’t have a consistency problem. You have a PLAN that’s impossible to be consistent with. Because when most guys say “I can’t stay consistent,” what they really mean is… They can’t stay consistent with what they THINK a workout program SHOULD be: - 2.5 hour bodybuilding split sessions - Three exercises per body part - Two to three body parts per day - Plus a 10 minute warm-up, 20 minutes of stretching… - Cardio… And somehow you’re supposed to hit it 5-6 days a week. (And that’s assuming the gym isn’t packed, you’re not waiting for equipment, and you didn’t lose 30 minutes just driving there and back.) Or… the other classic: "Smo...

https://chasingstrength.com/ Today I want to walk you through the five biggest workout – training mistakes I see men over 40 make, mistakes most men aren’t aware they exist. And training mistakes that quietly sabotage results even when you’re doing everything “right.” If you recognize yourself in even one of these, this video will save you years of frustration. MISTAKE #1 — Training Like You’re Still 23 The first mistake is obvious once you see it, but almost nobody adjusts for it. Men over 40 keep training like they’re still 23. Same volume. Same workload. Same intensity. Same recovery expectations. But your physiology isn’t the same anymore and pretending it is doesn’t make you tougher, it just makes you sore and inconsistent. What worked when you had fewer responsibilities, less stress, and more recovery capacity doesn’t automatically work now. The goal isn’t to train less because you’re “older.” The goal is to train appropriately for where you are now. Training that way ignores rea...

Take a look and see what fits. https://chasingstrength.com/which-kettlebell-workout-program-is-right-for-me/ One question guys want to know is how my workout programs are different from most of the other programs that men our age – the over 40 crowd – try – and fail using. And the short answer is because most programming models fail to account for real life, especially for men over 40. See, I know from first-hand experience — I had to learn the hard way myself, even though I didn’t have to. I was warned in advance that programming must change by my Soviet trained Olympic lifting coach — but I didn’t believe him. I thought I would remain “Superman” forever. That is until a laundry list of injuries sidelined me in my early 30s. Hey — it’s Geoff Neupert, from ChasingStrength.com . In this video, I want to explain how I think about programming, why it looks different from what you usually see, and why that difference matters if your goal is to keep training long-term. Most workout programs...

Look through what’s there and see what fits. LINK: https://chasingstrength.com/which-kettlebell-workout-program-is-right-for-me/ If you judge the quality of your workouts by how sore you feel the next day, this video will probably change how you think about training. Because soreness isn’t a reliable indicator of progress — especially after 40. In fact, for a lot of men, chasing soreness is one of the main reasons training stops working. Let me explain why. Most of us were taught early on that soreness equals a good workout. You workout – train hard. You’re sore the next day. That must mean it worked – right? After all… it worked for all the guys in the muscle mags who we wanted to look like, so it can’t be wrong… right? And when you’re younger, you can often get away with that “logic.” But the truth is, soreness is really just a response to unfamiliar or excessive stress. It doesn’t tell you whether a program is productive – it just confirms that there was muscle protein degradation....

➡️ Go to ChasingStrength.com and check out the Programs page. “If you're over 40 and can’t stay consistent anymore… it’s not because you’re lazy. It’s because your life and your identity changed.” “And unless your training changes with it… consistency becomes impossible.” Let me show you why men over 40 fall off… and how to fix it for good. Most men over 40 don’t quit because they want to. They quit because they can’t match the image they have of themselves anymore. You remember the guy you used to be: - Strong - Athletic - Quick - Durable - Energetic - Hungry to train But now? You try to get back in shape and something always gets in the way: - Work stress - Family obligations - Travel - Poor sleep - Achy joints - Fatigue that wasn’t there before And you start thinking: “What’s wrong with me? Why can’t I stay consistent anymore?” Nothing is wrong with you. You’ve just been trying to train a 40- or 50-year-old body  with a 20-year-old training identity. That mismatch destroys cons...

Remember, if you want to lean out – because a lot of guys do this time of year – then train for strength, use “strategic conditioning,” and you’ll get both.  If you use most of the popular “fitness methods” to lean out, you’ll lose muscle and get weaker.  So use this program: https://go.chasingstrength.com/burn-sa3/ And if you just want to get brutally strong and nail those ‘STRONG ENOUGH’ standards – or get close?  Use this program. https://go.chasingstrength.com/kettlebell-maximorum-e/ And, if you’re not 100% sure yet?  Go here: https://chasingstrength.com/which-kettlebell-workout-program-is-right-for-me/ Man, I don’t know about you, but it’s hard to believe that today is the last day of 2025. And like my daughter said to me in the car yesterday, “We’re almost closer to 2030 than we are 2020.” Which of course means – at least for me – it’s time to assess this past year and calibrate for the upcoming one. A lot of people are going to be doing that with “getting in ...

How do you keep from losing some of your ‘GAINZ’ this Christmas / Holiday season? The Christmas / Holiday season is fully upon us. Shopping… Parties… Recitals… Q4 deadlines… And more. It’s Geoff Neupert from chasingstrength.com Time is crunched. And that makes it easy – even “convenient” – to skip a training session, especially over the long 4-day holiday weekends. The problem with that, of course, is once you skip one, it becomes that much easier to skip another… and another. And before you know it, it’s the second Monday of January and you’re in serious jeopardy of giving back some, if not much, of your “GAINZ.” So, I wanted to give you 3 quick ideas to “get your workout in” instead of punting them into next week or beyond. #1 - 15 Minutes of Something: - Use a 5-minute warm up of your stiffest spots. - Set a timer for 10 minutes. - Get as many reps / sets of your favorite “Big Bang For Your Buck” KB exercise - Ex. Single Clean + Press, Single Clean + Push Press, Single Clean + Jerk,...

NOTE: This is a “red flag” to the FTC. This is a medical diagnosis. I’m not a doctor. I cannot diagnose nor treat pain. Furthermore, they would push back because it’s speaking in broad strokes and applying this diagnosis to all back pain. Back pain can be mechanics. I can also be a bulging disc. It can be purely muscular. It can be a tumor. See what I’m getting at here? In the health space this is the equivalent of making income claims. Many guys over 40 have lower back issues – stiffness, tightness, soreness, even pain. The good news is, for many, kettlebell training can help get rid of it. Millions of men over 40 wake up every day thinking lower back issue is just part of getting older. For many, it’s not. First, a disclaimer. If you have active lower back pain, make sure you see your physician for a medical diagnosis, and then get cleared to exercise. Second, I’m going to show you why lower back pain can be purely mechanical, why traditional workouts most guys over 40 do make it wo...

Get Stronger & More Powerful with These Programs: AUTOREGULATED - https://go.chasingstrength.com/kettlebell-maximorum-e/ OTM (EMOM) - https://salutis.kartra.com/page/SWING-HARD-2 When I was coming up as a greenhorn strength & conditioning coach under the mentorship of my weightlifting coach, Alfonso Duran (a member of the Cuban Pre-Select Olympic Weightlifting Team), I focused obsessed over the “perfect program.”  One of those things was the “perfect rest period.” For example, here was a common heuristic I used: Heavy, 1-3 reps per set = 3-5 minutes rest Moderately heavy, 4-6 reps per set = 2-3 minutes rest Moderate, 8-12 reps per set = 90 seconds – 2 minutes rest Light-ish, 12-20 reps per set = 60-90 seconds Light, 20+ reps = 30-60 seconds per set And you know what, it didn’t work half bad. But it has its flaws. Namely, even with light weights, higher rep sets accumulate - 1- Oxygen debt (heavy breathing) depending on the exercise 2- Pump or burn, depending on the exerci...
