    Can there be any greater feeling than getting more than you anticipated? Regardless of whether it's a purchase at a store or your training, we all like to get more for less.

    Now, make no mistake, you'll ALWAYS have to train hard and smart, but why not get more out of your hard work and increase your abilities in things you've not even practiced?

    That is the topic of this episode, and it's one you're *not* gonna wanna miss!

  • Ep. 175: The 5th Element of Fitness

    Nowadays, the truest status symbol of all is NOT having a big house or a fancy car or any of the other once-common trappings of having "made it" in life, but rather having a body that is lean, muscular, and athletic in your 40s, 50s, and beyond.

    As Ah-nuld Schwarzenegger himself said, a well-functioning and muscular body is the one thing you can't buy - you must work toward it.

    If you want to turn heads and induce jealousy, this podcast oughta get you started on the right foot.

    Well, friendo, you're in luck, as I'm gonna dish on exactly that in this episode. Enjoy!

    Wanna build "old man strength" at any age?

    You're in luck, because it's not about your age per se, but rather your choice of physical activities. And for my money, if there's one physical activity you can't afford to skip, it's the one chronicled in this short-but-action-packed episode.

  • Ep. 172: How to Maintain Your Old Gains When You Change What You Train

    Yes, friend, it's true: you can't move toward one thing without moving away from something else.

    But unlike in the physical world where you can't change the distance between the thing you're moving toward and the thing you're moving away from, in the world of training you CAN lessen the distance between the skill built in the old moves you've built up strength with and the new ones you wanna work on. I teach you how in this mighty fine episode (which you should share far and wide with all your friends and family members WINK WINK NUDGE NUDGE)

  • Ep. 171: A Unique Approach to Bodyweight and Kettlebell Training for Superior Results

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

    Quite often the standard-issue advice of "do XYZ kettlebell/bodyweight exercises to get in shape" are well-meaning, but can still fall short.

    There are certain skills you MUST have from the outset in order to maximize these great traditional exercises, such as the ability to recruit every muscle in your body all at once, and it is can often be difficult to feel how to do that without some practice.

    So how do you GET that practice?

    I reveal all in this short but action-packed podcast episode.
