KETTLEBELL WORKOUTS


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. (Excessive curvature / rounding of the upper back). This leads to a “slouched” posture and thoracic dysfunction. (Singla & Veqar, 2017; Sepehri et al., 2024; Kang et

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

BEST way to mix KB work with Bodyweight Exercises…?
“Rebuilt After 40” - Schedule B or C. https://go.chasingstrength.com/rebuilt-after-40/ https://salutis.kartra.com/page/M82491 My favorite way, and arguably the BEST way I’ve benefitted from bodyweight training over the years, is to use bodyweight exercises as what I call - Functional Antagonistic Balance Training. (Or FAB’s.) This was arguably one of the most amazing discoveries I stumbled upon. Yeah I know, sounds fancy and may even make me sound important. (Honestly, I don’

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. Hypertrophy is similar when volume is matched; any edge for failure is small and mainly with very light loads. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9068575/ ...
