You just arrive at your destination faster than you might otherwise think. I dish on some of these for your military press in this brief but informative episode.

There's a lyric in a Toby Keith song that goes "I ain't as good as I once was/ but I'm as good once as I ever was."

My question: Who needs that? You need to be good all-around and more than just once - whether that means roughhousing with your kids, doing work around the house, or engaging in your favorite physical activities. Having enough strength for just one noble effort won't cut it - you need to be all-day strong. This episode dishes on that topic and gives you some ideas on how to apply it.

There are a lot of old-school strength movements that have fallen out of favor as time has gone on, and this is a big one (so big, in fact, that it used to be considered one of the essential upper body exercises before it was callously tossed by the wayside).

On today's episode I'm happy to introduce my online student Dr. Justin Schooth - a large-animal veterinarian who - when not rasslin' with cows and horses - is hosting preposterous poundages in his kettlebell and calisthenics workouts.

But it wasn't always wine and roses. A lifetime of athletic endeavors combined with a tough-as-nails job hit him with some debilitating physical issues - some so bad that at their worst he could barely sleep.

Listen in as we talk about his origin story, his journey to kettlebells, and his triumphal ride out of pain and discomfort and into strength, resilience, and physical domination.

If transforming your body is truly your raison d'etre and no other outcome will suffice, you HAVE to develop every nook, cranny, crevice, and corner of your body - forget about what all the 'gurus' say about certain exercises being pointless or wastes of time. That's horsesh*t.

And if there's one bodypart that goes woefully undertrained and underdeveloped, it's the one I talk about in this episode. Listen in and get back into the Gainer Zone.
