15 min workouts a day is something I can stick to for life. I'm making this 15 min KB exercises my daily minimum M-F. Cause I'm that guy who is always on and off with fitness. Trying to make Progress, not to be Perfect...
Thank you for the kettlebell guidance Geoff. As I am just recovering from a lengthy illness, I am looking to get back on the fitness track. Your coaching is really helping, and I really appreciate all that you do.
Thanks fot the reminder Geoff! I'm on the last workout of month 2 of RMF and have honestly been struggling and not getting the results I'm after but this video has helped me to realise I'm missing out by trying to make my non dominant side catch up. My plan is to continue RMF but executive everything with a single weight (so from 2x20kg down to a 16kg) then do the prescribed reps in a more controlled fashion in a left then right fashion.
I just finished phase 1 of The Strong with a pair of 20s C&P. Instead of going to The Slow and Steady with the 20s I am starting The Strong over with a pair of 24s. When I finish The Strong I will evaluate at that time if I want to proceed to The Slow and Steady with the 24s or start The Strong over with 28s
@@battleax4609 From the book Kettlebell Strong. The book came with DVDs with not just demonstrations but actual real coaching. It is very good. The Strong and The Slow and Steady are in it. The Strong is a progression up to 10x3 and The Slow and Steady works up to 10x6. When I got to 10x3 with double 20s I wasn’t sure if I wanted to stick with the 20s up to 10x6 or go to go to the 24s. I tested with the 24s and felt confident I could do the progression with them so I went that route.
Interesting that the front squat can help with the press. Currently doing ROP with a single 20K which feels perfect for me at the moment but I have some way to go I should start double kettlebell work then.
Hey coach, would using a barbell to perform these movements/milestones have the same benefits or do kettlebells have some greater benefit intrinsic to their shape and movement patterns?
@andreasjansson3620 - Not that I'm aware of. But if you can use a pair of 24kg for most, you're doing great. I do have a monster of a friend who ran "Kettlebell Muscle" with a pair of 32s... So, there's that.
In this video, you compared a 4 RM to 10 sets of 6 in a workout. You then claimed it was a 15X improvement. Unless the client was unable to do any additional exercise in the same amount of time, this makes no sense. My understanding of your work, is that a RM is based on a single set. Comparing a single set of work to 6 sets of work is unfair. A more appropriate comparison would be a new RM. Supposed the client went from 4 to 6. That is an impressive 50% increase. Considering that the client is now able to do 10 sets of 6 reps, I imagine their new RM is even higher. Another appropriate comparison would have been how many sets of 4 in a given time frame the client started with to how many sets of 4 they can now do in the same time frame.
@russellhelmstedter6990 - He did 60 relatively easy reps with his old 4 Rep Max. How much more work is that? If you simply run the numbers (60 reps / 4 reps), it's 15X the amount of work. Pretty simple if you ask me.
Sorry but those are crazy numbers that are not accessible for majority of people except a few genetically gifted. No amount of purchased program can change that.
