If you are trying to get in shape and you want to do it training with kettlebells but don't know where to start... here's my opinion on how to keep it simple and make it EASY to start seeing results. Focus only on TWO exercises: The Swing & The Turkish Getup (Here's the key: Give yourself the permission to not focus on ANYTHING else) In order to get there make sure to follow this progression to understand/build each skill... Bodyweight Hip Hinge ➡️ Kettlebell Deadlift ➡️ Kettlebell Swing Bodyweight Getup ➡️ Loaded Getup Once you are using weight for each you'll want to do a single "workout" where you perform... ✅ 10 sets of 10 Kettlebell Swings ✅ 5 Sets of 1/1 Turkish Getups (5 "singles on each side") *Don't worry about timing, or "work to rest" JUST get the sets done. Rest as much as you need but don't dilly dally. That will establish your "starting weights" for each skill. From there we have our guys train 4 days/week. If you can't commit to 4 days/week commit to 2-3. But the point here is to COMMIT. This is something that needs to become a non-negotiable part of your life. When you train perform 100 swings (10 sets of 10) and 5 Getups on each side. Always use the bells you established as your starting weights. Then every 2 weeks do ONE of your Swing sets with a bell that's 4-8kg heavier and every 4 weeks do ONE of your Getup sets with a bell that's 4kg heavier. Repeat this process for 16-20 weeks and you'll have systematically "progressed" aka leveled up your strength to the next set of bells. Cool thing about this is you can repeat this process over and over again util you are using some pretty wild weights and everyone who knows you is asking you "what the hell have you been doing?!" 😏 Could you be doing more? Sure. Do you NEED to? No. Do you "miss anything here?" Nope. Plenty of Strength & Endurance being cultivated here. Isn't this boring? I mean... that's up to you. I think objectively progressing is pretty badass... so no it's not boring to me but that's something you'll need to see for yourself. I'd urge you to base your "feelings" on working out less on if you are entertained and more on "is this delivering the ultimate end result I'm after?" Like brushing your teeth. You know it works, so you just do it.

If you've been following us at all you know the Turkish Getup is one of the CORE exercises our guys do week in and week out. IMO there's just no other exercise that delivers as much "bang for your buck" in one single movement like the TGU does. ✅ Joint Health ✅ Strength ✅ Endurance ✅ Coordination ✅ Core ✅ Mobility & Stability One of our (unstated) mission is to get as many men as possible doing Getups consistently. I believe deep in my bones that guys who do Getups every week will have an unparalleled quality of life in their 70's-80's-90's. So with that being said.. I want to show you how we teach this exercise in the hopes it unlocks a new level of skill/technique in your training. Below you'll find our Turkish Getup Mastery Guide where we break down the details, and nuances of this skill to make sure everyone is getting the most out of training this movement!

Good afternoon everyone, I think I over exerted myself on a kettlebell workout during the weekend. I was too pump and did 2 workouts. Felt pain on my upper thigh, like a cramp. I massaged it , but anyone got any tips on how to recover faster 😅?

I NEED help for personal motivation. Trying to lock down my workout days and time for consistency. I'm open to any advice/suggestions you may have. I also feel I have a gap in weight from my moderate to heavy bell. I have a 35lb KB and recently got 60 and 80lb bells on discount. I'm concerned about injury as I progress to not push myself too quick. Re-injury has been one of my setbacks over time, so attempting to move with more wisdom in my health progression.

Just my personal journal to save progress and me “showing up” to do the work 💪🏼 2023-07-07: Warm up Swings: 10x10 36K (EMOM) TGU: 5 x 1/1 32K (1 min rest)
