So people often wonder why I pretty much only train with kettlebells if I don’t believe in placing limits on myself. Well the fact of the matter is I have tried out a lot of different styles and methodology of training and I always come back to the kettlebell.

Why? Because most of the things I do are done BEST with a kettlebell. For example, overhead pressing can be done with both a kettlebell and a dumbbell. Yeah you can get a pretty significant range of motion with a dumbbell until you start putting a lot of poundage on there. With a kettlebell though if fits nicely in the rack position to give your shoulder the best possible range of motion. You want to challenge your grip and stability try a bottoms up or even worse a bottoms out press. Those are the devil . With tgu it can be done with anything but with the kettlebells unique structure you can set it so that the handle rests in that meaty part of the heel of your hand which can reinforce the lat muscle (that goes with the overhead presses too). Swings and snatches just aren’t the same if you are using anything but a kettlebell because of the virtual forces done by their offset center of mass. Front squats are much more comfortable on the wrists with kettlebells. And yeah circuits and complexes (awesome for fat loss training) are much smoother too. Check out the vid. I got those big 5 from Turbulence Training’s author Craig Ballantyne. Great manual and you can use kettlebells with it even though it was intended to be done with dumbbells…but hey anything you can do with a dumbbell you could probably do with a kettlebell.

I don’t limit myself to kettlebells. They allow me to express my strength freely.

Did I mention I like kettlebells?

Many will say that its crunches that you need. Its not.

A lot of people will say “Diet” Its not

You have probably heard me saying its a combo of full body movements that place tension on the core coupled with a proper nutrition program. Well that is certainly part of it but it isn’t the “secret”.

There isn’t even a word for the secret…but I’ll try to come up with one.

StickToItivity or StickToItness

See for the most part people know what to do for for fat loss…well kind of. There are still a lot of myths like crunches reduce belly flab and running is the best to lose weight and all sorts of things that piss me the F__k off. They know that diet and exercise will make you lose weight. They just might not be sure of the best things to do.

For the exercise portion of it full body movements and high intensity conditioning will boost your metabolism to soaring new heights. My kettlebell workouts fit the bill. Your exercise portion has been taken care of because I don’t need to tell you the whys of exercise…just the hows. Stick to the f’ing program.

The Diet portion of it though…lets rename it to nutrition because that’s what its really about…it gets a little bit trickier. You see what you might think is healthy is not always the case. You would not believe the amount of things the food companies can get away with when they label something as “good for you” Believe me I know a couple because I ran the fitness department in a major food companies headquarters.

Well hope isn’t lost. I took notice of this book by Mike Geary the Author of the Truth About Six Pack Abs when everybody in the fitness industry around me started talking about it. It caused quite a stir. The book the Fat Burning Kitchen brings to light a lot of insider tricks to what they do to keep you down and a lot of little tricks to keep your body burning fat faster. You want to be lean? Buy that book, follow my workouts and for f__k’s sake stick to the f__king program.
