Sunday, December 6th, 2009

Hello everyone. If you love kettlebell training, then I’ve got a post for you!

I’m going to show you a few ways to modify the kettlebell snatch to make it more challenging and grip strength intensive. And then I am going to ask you what ways you modify kettlebell lifts in your training.

There are almost endless ways that you can vary your kettlebell training to provide yourself with a new stimulus.

Using a heavier bell…

Doing more reps per set… (more…)

Fun in the November Sun

Sunday, November 8th, 2009

It’s funny how much the weather in Northeast PA can change from day to day. It can get COLLLLD here.

Yesterday, I trained for 3 hours in my garage, freezing my ass off the whole time. I was wearing sweat pants, a long-sleeve thermal shirt, two tee-shirts under that, and had a stocking cap on. To top it all off I had an Amish heater humming in the background all the while.

It seemed unseasonably cold for the first weekend in November. Flash forward 24 hours…

Today, I looked out the window around 10 AM and realized that it was probably the most gorgeous Sunday I have seen in months. It rained most of the summer and I never once got a weekend to do any atlas stone lifting.

A New Slant on the 40 Yard Dash for Backyard Cardio

By: Andy Book, CSCS

Running sprints with limited rest periods between repetitions is unquestionably a great method of building strength endurance. On the other hand, running repeated sprints is frankly boring. It’s rare to see even dedicated self-trained athletes running sprints.

Typically, if you see somebody running sprints, there’s a coach directing this effort. If you don’t want to run sprints, but still want to build strength endurance the following circuit is a great alternative for boring sprint work. However, you’ll be doing 40 yard dashes. Boredom shouldn’t be an issue with this circuit. Fried lungs…well that’s another story.

Jordan Vezina: The Corrections DVD

Tuesday, August 11th, 2009

One of the most versatile types of exercise equipment is the kettlebell. These “cannonballs with a handle on them” were unheard of 10 years ago among the general gym goers, but now when you walk into mainstream stores like Dick’s Sporting Goods, you can find them packaged in brightly colored boxes, in an effort to market them to the masses.

In a way, it is great that kettlebells are becoming more popular and more readily available. Kettlebells are fun, functional, and can be used for many types of movements. They can be used for building strength, increasing stamina, and for getting cut to shreds for the perfect beach body.
