    Believe it or not, not every exercise has some super specific technique you have to learn in order to do it properly. Inf act, some have close to none at all! And wouldn't you know it? Those are often the exercises that give you the biggest bang for your buck.

    This episode dives deep into just one such exercise, and comes with a bonus: a video demonstrating a cool combo of variations of said exercise for you to put to good use.

  • Ep. 241: #1 Most "Taboo" (But Highly Effective) Way to Build Big Strength Fast

    Get my 9-Minute Kettlebell & Bodyweight Challenge FREE here: http://www.9MinuteChallenge.com

    If you wanna break your PRs, eventually you're gonna have to realize you might need to break some rules.

    And not the iron-clad rules or principles of strength training. Oh, no! I'm talking about the "rules" that exercise ideologies like to place on your training regardless of their utility.

    This episode dives deep into breaking the misconceptions about one such set of rules, and shows you how to use a 'taboo tactic' to practically shovel new strength into your body.

    Here is a video demo of the moves mentioned in the episode: https://youtu.be/wj7GuF2L3cQ

    Get my 9-Minute Kettlebell & Bodyweight Challenge FREE here: http://www.9MinuteChallenge.com

    In order to do more pullups, you must do more pullups. But let's say you're stuck at just a few measley reps and no matter what you do you just can't seem to add any more to your all-out best set.

    Are you stuck forever in pullup purgatory?

    Not quite, friend. The simple rep scheme I divulge in this fine episode can help take you from 'weak' to 'freak' at pullups in mere weeks. Give it a try and let me know how you like it.

  • Ep. 238: The Top 'Non-Kettlebell' Move You Should Be Doing with Your Kettlebells

    Get my 9-Minute Kettlebell & Bodyweight Challenge FREE here: http://www.9MinuteChallenge.com

    While there are certain moves the kettlebell excels at - and indeed can't really be well-replicated by other implements - there are other moves that are not kettlebell-specific that are still more than worth your time to do in your training. This episode dishes on one of my favorite "non-kettlebell" upper body movements that you can do with your kettlebells. Listen and learn!

  • Ep. 237: An Essential Element for Building REAL Upper Body Strength

    Get my 9-Minute Kettlebell & Bodyweight Challenge FREE here: http://www.9MinuteChallenge.com

    Don't fall for the idea that you have to limit yourself and your training in order to get stronger. If anything, you need to be GENERALLY stronger in order to have any hope ofgetting specifically stronger.

    If you're shrewd and discerning, the approach discussed in this fine episode of my podcast will ring true to you. And if not, well, then listen to it a couple of times until you internalize its magnificence. I insist.
