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

    I'm joined on this most intriguing of episodes by a mysterious stranger - a physical therapist known only as Bowtied Bengal.

    Join us as we discuss his origin story, how he got interested in physical therapy, his unique and helpful approach to getting his clients back on the straight and narrow, and, of course, the meeting point between physical therapy and physical fitness.

    Find him online at: "I'm Hurt, Now What?" - https://imhurtnowwhat.com

    On that note, if you like training that:

    · Gives you more strength than it takes from you

    · Improves your stamina and resilience simultaneously

    · Powers-up every nook, cranny, crevice, and corner of your Soft Machine

    Then you just might like my 9-Minute Kettlebell and Bodyweight Challenge.

    As the name indicates, it's just 9 minutes long, and it's designed to be done WITH your current workouts – NOT instead of them.

    Even cooler:

    Many find that it actually amplifies their strength in their favorite kettlebell and bodyweight moves, like presses, squats, pullups, and more.

    And best of all, it's free.

    How free?

    I'm talkin' freer than the 4th of July, my friend.

  • [BONUS EP.] Israeli combat soldier gives his harrowing account of the war against Hamas [NSFW]

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

    I'm joined on this episode by my friend Ran "Bario" Bar-Yoshafat: a veteran of Israel's Maglan special forces commando unit, a lawyer, a regular commentator on Israeli policy on both friendly and hostile foreign media, and the Deputy Director of the Kohelet Policy Forum headquartered in Jerusalem. He was recently called up for reserve duty to fight against the terrorist organization Hamas in Gaza, and because both traditional news and the emerging alternative news sources have published a great many wildly conflicting (often completely unfactual) reports on the goings-on in the Strip, I wanted to have him on the show to talk about both his first-hand experience and his in-depth knowledge of the history of the region.
