Why I recently changed my mind about the Kettlebell Swing…
“Swing HARD!” 👉 https://salutis.kartra.com/page/SWING-HARD-2 “Kettlebell MAXIMORUM” 👉 https://go.chasingstrength.com/5-lifts-maxim/ I've spent 20+ years telling men over 40 to use kettlebells. Last month I changed my mind. Not about kettlebells. About the barrier to entry. After two decades of coaching, I realized the number one problem with kettlebell training for guys our age isn't the exercises. It's the energy it takes to learn them properly. So here's my new position —

Better Than Thrusters For Leg & Upper Body Strength 👉 https://go.chasingstrength.com/5-lifts-maxim/ Thrusters pack a powerful metabolic wallop. They use almost every muscle at once.

Here's my honest take after 30 years of coaching, a 352lb Push Press, and training hundreds of men over 40 whose knees and hips have s
