You have a PLAN that’s impossible to be consistent with. Because when most guys say “I can’

What Should Workout Programs For Men Over 40 Look Like?
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

Why Feeling Better After Training Matters More Than Feeling Sore
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 t

Why Your Lower Back Hurts (And Why Kettlebells Might Be the Fix)
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 issue

EMOM / OTM vs. Autoregulation Kettlebell Workouts - Which Is Better?

The Biggest Workout Mistake Men Over 40 Keep Making
👉 https://chasingstrength.com/ “Most men over 40 don’t need more training time. They need the right weekly rhythm.” “Strength after 40 isn’t built by going harder — it’s built by being consistent.” “And for 80–90% of guys over 40, that sweet spot is shockingly simple: 20–30 minutes, 3 times a week.” Let me explain why — and why trying to do more usually backfires. One thing I’ve seen over and over in 30+ years of coaching: Men over 40 don’t struggle because they’re lazy. The

He Called Me Out!
I recently received a helpful email from a customer. And in it, he essentially called me out. Here’s an excerpt from the email: “To take this a step further, you could demonstrate one workout from each program on YouTube. I would LOVE to watch the expert do his thing. You could talk through what you're thinking about as you exercise. Right now, the world sees you as the guy talking behind a desk. I think the world needs to see you as the guy actually moving the bells. _______

Is the “Text Neck Tax” Robbing Your Kettlebell Workouts?
Grab your copy of Systematic Core Training For Kettlebells in the video description below. https://salutis.kartra.com/page/systematic-core-training Here’s a closer look at what FHP does to your upper body: Thoracic Spine: Increased Thoracic Kyphosis: FHP is strongly associated with increased thoracic kyphosis.

What Is The “Strong = Fat” LIE…?
Time-Tested “Burn Fat & Get Strong!” Single Kettlebell “Built For You” Program https://go.chasingstrength.com/kettlebell-burn/ Here’s HOW this actually works - What the research shows us so far. (Like all research, this may change in the coming years.) 1) Hard, fast efforts flip your fat-release switch. Short heavy / explosive sets spike catecholamines (adrenaline / noradrenaline – your “go” chemicals). Those hit receptors on fat cells and turn on hormone-sensitive lipase (HS

I owe you an apology… (Maybe?)
Level Up Your Kettlebell Game here: https://go.chasingstrength.com/kettlebell-burn/ I might have underestimated you. See, 6 years ago when I rebooted my newsletter and then started sporadically making these videos based upon conversations I was having, it appeared that most guys - maybe or even probably you - Only could “afford” 3x 20-30 minute workouts a week due to their demanding time schedules. But what I’ve noticed through probably thousands of customer emails and forum

“Not to be a smarta$$, but…” (22 reasons why…)
https://go.chasingstrength.com/kettlebell-maximorum-e/ 22 reasons why guys our age should stay away from training to failure: 1. No strength advantage when volume is matched (failure vs. non-failure are similar). https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9068575/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26666744/ 2.
