16-Min Kettlebell Circuit, 2-Mile Ruck Challenge

This morning we ran a workout at the studio, and it’s the kind of session that leaves you a little wrecked in the best way. I modified it slightly so you can knock it out at home too. Workouts like this are exactly what’s going to help you drop up to one clothing size over the next 28 days here: -> Kettlebells + Rucking Drop-a-Size Challenge – Starts Monday, August 24th More on that below, but first, here’s the workout. 1 – We start with a general warm-up to get you prepped for the work...

Are you joining us for the upcoming 28-Day Iron + Asphalt Challenge? -> Join the 28-Day “Iron + Asphalt” Drop-a-Size Challenge The basic idea is simple: We’re combining kettlebells + rucking + performance-focused intermittent fasting to help you lose up to a full clothing size in 28 days while still training hard, maintaining muscle, and feeling strong. And one of the biggest parts of the challenge will be the nutrition side. I’m taking my Feed the Beast / Modern-Day Warrior approach and...

There’s a reason kettlebells are the tool fighters and combat athletes keep coming back to. The offset weight builds a crushing grip and forearm strength. Ballistic movements like swings and snatches build explosive power and lung-searing conditioning in the same rep. And because you’re moving one awkward weight through space instead of pushing a machine in a straight line, every set builds the kind of core stability and total-body control a fighter actually needs, not just muscle for the...

I’ve got something new I’m working on right now, and I’m probably as excited about this as anything I’ve put together in a long time.

Here’s the idea: this is a 10 full kettlebell training plans, packaged into a “choose your fighter” style bundle. Each program is a different fighter, built around a different training style: strength, power,...

Unfortunately, it’s a very common problem among kettlebell enthusiasts. They get a great start with their kettlebell training. They get so excited about the power of their newly discovered training tool that they pick up and train with a KB almost every day. And then the forearm, elbow, and/or wrist pain hits. It’s debilitating. They actually have to stop training with kettlebells completely for a time. And the excitement of this newly discovered training tool quickly turns to frustration....

I’m getting ready for a 10k this fall, and I’m pretty excited about it. I got away from running for a while, honestly because my joints are beat up. Maybe you can relate? I played football in high school and college, a couple of years in the pros on the offensive line, and I was over 300 pounds for a long stretch of that. Over the last 20-ish years since my competitive sports career ended, I have done triathlons. Spartan races. Boot camp and CrossFit-style workouts. Powerlifting meets....
