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.

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

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

“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.
