Several years ago I met a Brad&lt;br /&gt;Pilon at business conference and&lt;br /&gt;we struck up a conversation, over&lt;br /&gt;time that has led to several interviews&lt;br /&gt;with outstanding content about various&lt;br /&gt;projects.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you've never heard of Brad before I&lt;br /&gt;can tells you this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1.&lt;/strong&gt; He is damn smart and reads a shit ton&lt;br /&gt;of research which means his products are&lt;br /&gt;alway based around REAL science&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2.&lt;/strong&gt; He is one of the geniunely GOOD&lt;br /&gt;guys in the fitness world. You won't&lt;br /&gt;meet a nicer guy&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3.&lt;/strong&gt; He practices what he preaches, nuts-up&lt;br /&gt;and signs on for contests and events where&lt;br /&gt;he could be winner or exposed as a 'loser'&lt;br /&gt;and I have major respect for anyone who&lt;br /&gt;does that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In today's interview with Brad Pilon, we&lt;br /&gt;cover 6 years of frustration and lack&lt;br /&gt;of progress with his own training that drove&lt;br /&gt;Brad to do the develop his newest program&lt;br /&gt;Anabolic Again&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Brad's Websites are here:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.anabolicagain.com/"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Checkout Anabolic Again Website&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://ats1coach.eatstopeat.hop.clickbank.net/"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Check Brad's Excellent Nutrition Program: Eat Stop Eat&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This program is NOT for newbies to&lt;br /&gt;lifting and it is NOT for those that have&lt;br /&gt;Workout ADD so bad they can't follow&lt;br /&gt;a progressive workout plan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So without further ado let's get into&lt;br /&gt;it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In the interview we cover:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-- What the origins of the Anabolic Again Program and Brad's motivation for creating this&lt;br /&gt;truly unique program that addresses a very serious need of EXPERIENCED Lifter&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-- The #1 indicator of how much jacked muscle you can put on your body (hint: it's not how hard you workout or how much you eat)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-- The 4 different types of training types that make up Anabolic Again, even old school HIT Arthur Jones training&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-- The #1 thing you need to make this program kickass and it's not going to be the gymboss timer or the workout muse&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-- How much muscle it will take to change the way you look permanently (hint: it's less than 5lbs)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-- How you will put on muscle, get strong and take off 7 days from training&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-- The test that you will take every week that is crucial to regaining the progress and physique you had in your 20's&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br

decades of all types of training from&lt;br /&gt;gymnastics, to Olympic Weightlifting to current&lt;br /&gt;being an Olympic Bobsled World Team member&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So let's just say she has a lot really great first&lt;br /&gt;hand knowledge about good and productive&lt;br /&gt;training.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I thought you would enjoy hearing from&lt;br /&gt;another strong female athlete that been there&lt;br /&gt;done that, won and lost and has a lot of valuable&lt;br /&gt;information to share about her journey&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br

Brendan probably 4-5 yrs&lt;br /&gt;ago right when he was just starting his practice&lt;br /&gt;and recently I stumbled back acrossed him&lt;br /&gt;via that wonderful piece of most of our lives&lt;br /&gt;called Facebook&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In my re-aquaintance I found out that part of his&lt;br /&gt;practice is the HCG Diet so I decided to reach&lt;br /&gt;out to him and see if he would share the inside&lt;br /&gt;scoop about it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Instead of google searches and listening to friends&lt;br /&gt;I figured you would like to hear from someone who&lt;br /&gt;has help almost

&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;My take home points:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These were not novice &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_13" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;kettlebell&lt;/span&gt; lifters. I while I love the&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_14" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;kettlebell&lt;/span&gt; for easy of learning, I am pretty sure it would take&lt;br /&gt;a bit of time to get someone up to speed to doing snatches with&lt;br /&gt;a good degree of &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_15" class="blsp-spelling-corrected"&gt;proficiency&lt;/span&gt; for that period time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That being said could a novice get close to that benefit&lt;br /&gt;probably say with maybe a 2-handed swing, 2-hand hi-pull&lt;br /&gt;or maybe even a goblet squat. I would there a good chance&lt;br /&gt;of that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think the tested movement is critical the snatch is&lt;br /&gt;and might be the only drill that you can accumulate&lt;br /&gt;enough full-body 'volume' to illicit that kind of&lt;br /&gt;calorie burn.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's really nice to see academia add 'hard value' to&lt;br /&gt;the concepts that many have known for so long.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also I like to 'calorie burning credence' add to items&lt;br /&gt;other than treadmills for fat loss.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Troy M Anderson&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:support@kettlebellfatlosstraining.com"&gt;Have a Question About &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_16" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Kettlebells&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Yep, that is front squats, with weight!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I too have noticed a good number of fitness&lt;br /&gt;professionals, over using this protocol&lt;br /&gt;implementing multiple 20 on 10 off&lt;br /&gt;sequences throughout their workous.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I agree with Dan in his saying that when&lt;br /&gt;doing a &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;True Tabata Protocol &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;you should pretty much dread all parts&lt;br /&gt;of tabata if you have you it set up&lt;br /&gt;properly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As you may recall a few months back&lt;br /&gt;we did a few sequences tabata front&lt;br /&gt;squats using the kettlebells during&lt;br /&gt;our Friday Meltdown Live Workouts&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I dreaded every dang minute of those&lt;br /&gt;tabata workout especially the knot&lt;br /&gt;in your gut right before you push the&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;'start button'&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;; but it all generally ends&lt;br /&gt;pretty well especially the part where you&lt;br /&gt;realize you didn't actually die.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So when you get the urge to do some&lt;br /&gt;sissy tabata like, jumping jacks, or&lt;br /&gt;push-ups. Just walk on over and&lt;br /&gt;pick up some weight and do some&lt;br /&gt;front squats; and join the team that is&lt;br /&gt;putting the 'dread' back into tabata's.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Feel free to post your best tabata&lt;br /&gt;front squat numbers below, whether&lt;br /&gt;it is with a barbell or kettlebells.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PS - &lt;/strong&gt;I have a tenatively

really is?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know that I have wondered these&lt;br /&gt;things from time to time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Luckily I get emails like the one &lt;br /&gt;below that remind me exactly why &lt;br /&gt;it is Josh and I built the &lt;a href="http://www.kettlebellfatlosstraining.com"&gt;kettlebell&lt;br /&gt;fat loss training program.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is really all about helping people&lt;br /&gt;get a little better a little bit at&lt;br /&gt;a time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The real thing that  makes our program&lt;br /&gt;different is &lt;strong&gt;we actually give a shit about&lt;br /&gt;you&lt;/strong&gt;;if you have done a little research&lt;br /&gt;around there aren't too many kettlebell&lt;br /&gt;programs that operate by that principle &lt;br

others and even though I cannot at this time afford your work out programs I am following your email exercises to the best of my ability. I have recently been diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis in my spine and some days it is unbarable. I so what I can when I can and that isn't much some days. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Being on disability and trying to eat right and stay healthy is a chore in itself. So if you have a work out program in your repoitore that may be of help to me please let me know. I know there must be others out there that could use some guidance as I can. Again thanks and keep up the good work!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Leo &lt;br /&gt;=====================&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Troy M Anderson&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href= "mailto:support@kettlebellfatlosstraining.com"&gt;Have a Question About Kettlebells Send me an Email&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.kettlebellfatlosstraining.com"&gt;Start Losing Fat with Your $7.97 Kettlebell Workout&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://kbfatloss.ning.com/"&gt;Click to Join 558 other Members FREE&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1688984870953480960-3706038856557016206?l=www.russiankettlebellworkouts.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.russiankettlebellworkouts.com/feeds/3706038856557016206/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.russiankettlebellworkouts.com/2009/09/reason-for-meltdown-kettlebell-training.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1688984870953480960/posts/default/3706038856557016206'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1688984870953480960/posts/default/3706038856557016206'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.russiankettlebellworkouts.com/2009/09/reason-for-meltdown-kettlebell-training.html' title='The Reason for Meltdown Kettlebell Training Workouts'/><author><name>Troy Anderson</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02280302623034531865</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-G7hFEIz49GU/TpxUhaeGwII/AAAAAAAAAUA/0nmSzW7omQg/s220/Troy4.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1688984870953480960.post-7146593730703018257</id><published>2009-08-25T10:45:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-08-25T11:47:27.032-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Kettlebell Fat Loss Powerbars</title><content type='html'>&lt;h2&gt;

I wanted to be done by the 4&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;th&lt;/span&gt; of July so everyone could enjoy a&lt;br /&gt;great American summer holiday&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.  I think 8 weeks is plenty of time time get great results and these guys and gals proved me right.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I must say that this is one of the coolest things that I have done as fitness &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-corrected"&gt;professional&lt;/span&gt;; and a look forward to doing more of them.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So if you could take a moment of your time and leave a comment at the bottom of the blog with the name of the person you think should win that would great appreciated. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Each vote will put some one closer to some pretty cool prizes.  I think the total prize package is worth about $600. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PS -- &lt;/strong&gt;If you have trouble deciding who to vote for take second to read the essays very inspiring.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Troy M Anderson&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:support@kettlebellfatlosstraining.com"&gt;Have a Question About &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Kettlebells&lt;/span&gt; Send me an Email&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.kettlebellfatlosstraining.com/"&gt;Lose Fat With &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Kettlebells&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://kbfatloss.ning.com/"&gt;Join Our FREE &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Kettlebell&lt;/span&gt; Fat Loss Community&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;===================================&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V1Sd1XqZXAE/SlqJcpXzjTI/AAAAAAAAAOk/M5bX0nAIY9o/s1600-h/ThomasLstats.gif"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V1Sd1XqZXAE/SlqI1JeddII/AAAAAAAAAOU/-wOX0WOBbI8/s1600-h/start1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 200px; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5357745153368749186" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V1Sd1XqZXAE/SlqI1JeddII/AAAAAAAAAOU/-wOX0WOBbI8/s200/start1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_V1Sd1XqZXAE/SlqI1S2uHFI/AAAAAAAAAOc/E_5XFhIBGnU/s1600-h/fin1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 200px; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5357745155886423122" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_V1Sd1XqZXAE/SlqI1S2uHFI/AAAAAAAAAOc/E_5XFhIBGnU/s200/fin1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Thomas &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Lamonica&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Start –&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Age: 46&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" class="blsp-spelling-corrected"&gt;Height&lt;/span&gt;: 71 inches&lt;br /&gt;Weight: 282 lbs.&lt;br /&gt;Body &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_9" class="blsp-spelling-corrected"&gt;Measurements&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;Waste: 48 inches&lt;br /&gt;Neck: 18 inches&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;End –&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Age: 46&lt;br /&gt;Height: 71 inches&lt;br /&gt;Weight 264.6&lt;br /&gt;Body &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_10" class="blsp-spelling-corrected"&gt;Measurements&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;Waste: 44.5 inches&lt;br /&gt;Neck: 17.5 inches&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Net Change&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Weight: -17.4lbs&lt;br /&gt;Waist: -3.5 inches&lt;br /&gt;Neck: -.5inches&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When the &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_11" class="blsp-spelling-corrected"&gt;transformation&lt;/span&gt; contest was announced at 1st I was hesitant. I had already started the KB Meltdown, but I also got a bench press bug so I was &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_12" class="blsp-spelling-corrected"&gt;simultaneously&lt;/span&gt; starting a bench program to bring my bench back up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By me writing this you know I decided to enter. I think the benching slowed my weight loss down in the beginning; I was eating for strength after all. My goal in the bench was, for this phase, +375, I got 405.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That done I got deeper into the “Chaos” phase, and went on vacation to Korea. I learned a lot about what I was doing [or I should say not doing] while I was there. Besides having to modify the workouts because of the lack of &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_13" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;kettlebell&lt;/span&gt;, which really &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_14" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;wasn&lt;/span&gt;’t too difficult, just used dumbbells for the most part.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also learned how lazy I had gotten, being I had spent most of the day time [during the week, my brother and sister in law worked, niece was at school] by myself exploring. I did this exploring on foot something I came to realize is better for you then sitting on you’re a#% in front of a PC or TV.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So now I do some walking on my non-training days. Although I &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_15" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;didn&lt;/span&gt;’t lose as much as I would have liked, [would have liked to lose another 15 by now]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I truly believe the contest was great for me, there was the &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_16" class="blsp-spelling-corrected"&gt;accountability&lt;/span&gt; plus all the &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_17" class="blsp-spelling-corrected"&gt;encouragement&lt;/span&gt; helped keep you going.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope there will be another one, maybe combined with Josh and sandbags! Win or lose I feel great!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tom&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_V1Sd1XqZXAE/SlqIqKjoYuI/AAAAAAAAAOE/d6cwitohEiU/s1600-h/start3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 72px; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5357744964680311522" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_V1Sd1XqZXAE/SlqIqKjoYuI/AAAAAAAAAOE/d6cwitohEiU/s200/start3.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_V1Sd1XqZXAE/SlqIqdEGwrI/AAAAAAAAAOM/AVQC2xFC-t4/s1600-h/fin2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 82px; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5357744969648358066" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_V1Sd1XqZXAE/SlqIqdEGwrI/AAAAAAAAAOM/AVQC2xFC-t4/s200/fin2.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V1Sd1XqZXAE/SlqIP0EWxdI/AAAAAAAAANk/tvR05GzvQDA/s1600-h/star1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 108px; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5357744511966954962" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V1Sd1XqZXAE/SlqIP0EWxdI/AAAAAAAAANk/tvR05GzvQDA/s200/star1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_V1Sd1XqZXAE/SlqIQPeu9SI/AAAAAAAAANs/gAgw0lMfM-A/s1600-h/fin1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 104px; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5357744519325349154" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_V1Sd1XqZXAE/SlqIQPeu9SI/AAAAAAAAANs/gAgw0lMfM-A/s200/fin1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lorri&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Start –&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Age: 45&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_18" class="blsp-spelling-corrected"&gt;Height&lt;/span&gt;: 5' 41/2"&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Weight: 131&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Body Comp: 26.7%&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Waist: 29.5 in&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Neck: 12.5 in&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Arm: 10.5 in&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Hip: 38.25 in&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Thigh: 23 in&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Calf: 14.5 in&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;End –&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Weight: 124.6&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;BF% 24.8%&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Neck: 11.5in&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Arm: 10.5in&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Waist: 26in&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Hip: 35.75in&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Thigh: 20.5in&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Calf: 13.5in&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Net Change&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Weight: -6.4lbs&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;BF% : - 1.9%&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Neck: -1in&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Arm: same&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Waist: -3.5in&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Hip: -2.5in&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Thigh: -2.5in&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Calf: -1in&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First and foremost I want to thank Troy and Josh for doing this contest. Without it I would still be “floundering” around wondering what to do next.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was very new to &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_19" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;kettlebells&lt;/span&gt;, but the bug bit me big time. I purchased the Meltdown &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_20" class="blsp-spelling-corrected"&gt;Transformation&lt;/span&gt; when it came out in Feb. I was using a 7lb bell thinking that would be “heavy” enough.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, we all know that’s not true!! I was quickly going out and buying the next size up about every other week! I am about to go into a 35lb bell! (Thanks Troy for the &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_21" class="blsp-spelling-corrected"&gt;encouragement&lt;/span&gt; and giving me the confidence of knowing I can use it!)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By March, I was no longer going to the gym to workout. I was so thrilled not to have to use a &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_22" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;cardio&lt;/span&gt; machine – my most dreaded exercise machine!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; I could get an intense workout done in 30 minutes at home and still have time to spare!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When the contest came out it was just the thing I needed. I was beginning to get that “why am I exercising” mentality – a dangerous place to be – it gave me a goal to work towards.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; I had a reason for doing my training even when I &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_23" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;didn&lt;/span&gt;’t feel like it. Being accountable to others is a very powerful motivator.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By the middle of the contest I was getting compliments on how great I looked from both guys and gals. Now if that &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_24" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;isn&lt;/span&gt;’t an ego booster, I don’t know what is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was actually getting muscle definition and – wait – are those actually Abs I see??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And those live sessions on Friday – it was something I looked forward to as a great way to end a hectic week at work and start off feeling energized for the weekend.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also liked the fact that Troy was doing the workout right along with us – getting “smoked”, too! He made it feel like we were working out with a friend not an instructor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; I don’t know how to say Thank You enough for being there and supporting us every step of the way.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lorri&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V1Sd1XqZXAE/SlqH7MFxfUI/AAAAAAAAANU/PZjwog4dQRw/s1600-h/start2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 170px; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5357744157638098242" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V1Sd1XqZXAE/SlqH7MFxfUI/AAAAAAAAANU/PZjwog4dQRw/s200/start2.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_V1Sd1XqZXAE/SlqH7dUeEjI/AAAAAAAAANc/ULiizrn7I_c/s1600-h/fin3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 186px; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5357744162263142962" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_V1Sd1XqZXAE/SlqH7dUeEjI/AAAAAAAAANc/ULiizrn7I_c/s200/fin3.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_V1Sd1XqZXAE/SlqH4D-MlkI/AAAAAAAAANE/zpsJ9LetUl4/s1600-h/start1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 200px; HEIGHT: 183px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5357744103919228482" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_V1Sd1XqZXAE/SlqH4D-MlkI/AAAAAAAAANE/zpsJ9LetUl4/s200/start1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_V1Sd1XqZXAE/SlqH6tQ1zlI/AAAAAAAAANM/6i7ceql6R7Q/s1600-h/fin1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 200px; HEIGHT: 191px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5357744149363019346" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_V1Sd1XqZXAE/SlqH6tQ1zlI/AAAAAAAAANM/6i7ceql6R7Q/s200/fin1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Guy &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_25" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Bedard&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Start –&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Age: 50&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Height: 70 inches&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Weight: 202 lbs.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Body composition: 33% b.f.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Waste: 46 inches&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Neck: 17 inches&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Arm/bicep: 14.5 inches&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Thigh: 24 inches&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Calves: 14.75 inches&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;End –&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Age: 51&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Height: 70 inches&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Weight: 181pounds &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Body composition: 23.4 % &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Waist: 38.5 inches &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Neck: 16 inches &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Arm/bicep: 15 inches &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Thigh: 24 inches &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Calves: 15 inches&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Net Change&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Weight: -21pounds&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Body composition: -10%&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Waist: -7.5 inches&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Neck: -1 inch&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Arm/bicep: + 1/2 inch&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Thigh: same&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Calves: +1/4 inch&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I started &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_26" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;kettlebelling&lt;/span&gt; 18 months ago and loved it. I was hooked. How did I get to the &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_27" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;kettlebell&lt;/span&gt;?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I use to be a marathon runner and thin as a rail. I stopped running due to injuries in the knee area. I kept on eating like I was running however. Well the pounds packed on. I went from 155 pounds to 209 pounds.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shortly thereafter, I had a hard time lifting a cup of coffee, some doctors thought I could have MS. A battery of tests and I was cleared, however it did scare the hell out of me.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I knew I had to do something to get back in shape and I &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_28" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;couldn&lt;/span&gt;’t run and did not have access to a gym. Also did not have room for traditional gym equipment in the house.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Surf the net and found &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_29" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;kettlebells&lt;/span&gt;. Got an 18 kg bell and was off and swinging. I got stronger and feeling better. However I was not loosing any of that mass I had put on.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I found Meltdown and joined immediately and purchased the program. Although I had DVDs on using the kettle bell I wanted a program that was specific to weight loss and an ongoing program. Meltdown was it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had not lost any significant amount of weight when I first got my bells although I was getting stronger.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I started using Meltdown and joined the &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_30" class="blsp-spelling-corrected"&gt;Transformation&lt;/span&gt; contest and began to loose weight and feeling even better.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Troy would host ‘Live’ sessions on Fridays and I would attend as many as I possibly could. I learned from him that I was performing some of the drills incorrectly at first. I was set &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_31" class="blsp-spelling-corrected"&gt;straight&lt;/span&gt; and on my way to further &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_32" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;kb&lt;/span&gt; drills and more weight loss.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During one of the Live sessions Troy was instructing on the virtues of dbl &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_33" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;kb&lt;/span&gt; snatches. Well I had never done dbl snatches before and did have a pair of 24 kg bells. During that Live session I was able to snatch for the very first time my pair of 24s! I was motivated!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I lost a good amount of weight and I’m feeling well. 8 weeks is a good start but a ‘start’ none the less. I will continue with the program which is 5 months of workouts. Rinse and repeat for more added benefits.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks Troy and everyone who helped me out.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Guy&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V1Sd1XqZXAE/SlqHSLp53eI/AAAAAAAAAM0/URCWFWaFrWY/s1600-h/start2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 116px; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5357743453146570210" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V1Sd1XqZXAE/SlqHSLp53eI/AAAAAAAAAM0/URCWFWaFrWY/s200/start2.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_V1Sd1XqZXAE/SlqHST_ZFWI/AAAAAAAAAM8/ANDbz1z1smo/s1600-h/fin1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 131px; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5357743455384180066" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_V1Sd1XqZXAE/SlqHST_ZFWI/AAAAAAAAAM8/ANDbz1z1smo/s200/fin1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_V1Sd1XqZXAE/SlqHRrjsGgI/AAAAAAAAAMk/cgihG5fLYic/s1600-h/start3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 88px; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5357743444530567682" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_V1Sd1XqZXAE/SlqHRrjsGgI/AAAAAAAAAMk/cgihG5fLYic/s200/start3.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_V1Sd1XqZXAE/SlqHR8MNpgI/AAAAAAAAAMs/SsyLmdS6aDc/s1600-h/fin3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 72px; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5357743448995505666" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_V1Sd1XqZXAE/SlqHR8MNpgI/AAAAAAAAAMs/SsyLmdS6aDc/s200/fin3.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kylie&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Start –&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Age: 35&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Weight: 65.4 kg (144 lbs)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Body fat: about 33%&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Chest: 93.5 cm (36.75")&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Waist: 82.5 cm (32.5")&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Hips: 100 cm (39.5")&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Thigh: 61.5 cm (24.25")&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Calf: 38 cm (15")&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_34" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Bcep&lt;/span&gt;: 30 cm (12.75")&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;End –&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Age: 35&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Weight: 63.3 kg &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Body fat: 30.5% &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Waist: 79 cm &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Hips: 98.5 cm &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Thigh: 60 cm &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Calf: 37 cm &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Bicep: 28 cm &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Net Change –&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Weight: - 2.1 kg / 4.4 lbs&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Body fat: - 2.5%&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Waist: - 3.5 cm / 1.4"&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Hips: - 1.5 cm / 0.7"&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Thigh: - 1.5 cm / 0.7"&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Calf: - 1cm / 0.4"&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Bicep: - 2cm / 0.8"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What I really need to show you is a picture of my brain before and after, because that is the part of my body that has most &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_35" class="blsp-spelling-corrected"&gt;significantly&lt;/span&gt; changed in the last 8 weeks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I’d had my &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_36" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Kettlebell&lt;/span&gt; for less than a month, and the Meltdown Manual for less than a week, when this contest started. Before that, I thought I was pretty strong for a small woman, using 5 kg dumbbells for single arm rows and presses. Dot on the forum told me to “be prepared to buy a heavier &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_37" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;kettlebell&lt;/span&gt; very quickly”, I thought, “c’&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_38" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;mon&lt;/span&gt;, I have just started swinging an 8 kg cannonball with a handle around, surely that’s enough for a while!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, Dot was right, and I am now using my new 12 kg bell for most of the workout. I can press it, with one arm, over my head. I can snatch it up from the ground up above my head. I can swing it around – up and down, in figure 8’s through my legs, or around my torso. Soon I will even be able to stand up from laying on the ground with a 12 kg weight suspended over my head. That is so cool!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I started with 4 weeks of the prep phase workouts, then moved to the Ladders &amp;amp; Circuits. I really enjoyed the progression of more sets or reps, and I added extra weight too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, life got in the way sometimes, but the others at the forum were there to inspire, motivate, and &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_39" class="blsp-spelling-corrected"&gt;occasionally&lt;/span&gt; kick butt. I have been sceptical about ‘online chat forums’, but have found there is something comforting in posting your progress each week, and seeing others’ too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most of all, &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_40" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;kettlebells&lt;/span&gt; are FUN!! And that’s what will keep me coming back to my workouts, eat well, and progress – because &lt;strong&gt;I can!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br

/&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"Piper says, these are the right size of &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;kettlebell to get S-T-R-O-N-G with"&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;If I have been asked this once, &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;I have been asked it a hundred times: &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What size kettlebell should I use?&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;If I had my druthers, I would recommend &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;that everyone who uses kettlebells purchase &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;three&lt;/strong&gt; of them right out of the gate &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;– a pair of smaller kettlebells and &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;- one large kettlebell that might be a little too heavy at the moment of purchase. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;With this set-up, you will be able to accomplish &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;virtually any goal you may have. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;For example, a female who has never lifted a &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;weight in her life should buy a pair of 6 kg/13 lb &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;kettlebells and one that is 12 kg/26 lbs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;However, having said that, I realize that the&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;kettlebell is a brave new frontier for many people &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;regardless of their level of fitness experience. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Choosing the right one depends on what &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;your goal(s) is(are).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your choice may be different based&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;on whether the kettlebell will be the &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;#1 fitness tool for a home workout program &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;or a tool for metabolic fat-loss workouts instead. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It will also be different if you have &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;never exercised vs. having consistently&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;done strength training your whole life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So you'll need to start by conducting an &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;honest assessment of what your current &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;capabilities are. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Note: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Those who have never exercised will &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;generally under-estimate and those with &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;significant experience will often over-estimate &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;their ability.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok, let's look at some specific recommendations. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I'm assuming that you are going to use the kettlebell &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;as the dominate tool in your workout and that initially &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;you will only be purchasing one kettlebell. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I start with recommendations for advanced &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;users and work down to beginners.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1. Intermediate Lifter –&lt;/strong&gt; Has worked out consistently w&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;ith weights 3x/wk for at least the last two years and knows &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;how to perform "big lifts" such as the squat, deadlift, press, etc….&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Recommended kettlebell size:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Men – 20 kg/44 lbs&lt;br /&gt;Women – 12 kg/26 lbs&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2. Beginner Lifter –&lt;/strong&gt; Has consistently done resistance &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;training at least 2x/wk for less than one year and has tried &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;the "big lifts" but is not sure if he/she is using the correct technique.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Recommended kettlebell size:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Men – 16 kg/35 lbs&lt;br /&gt;Women – 8 kg/17 lbs&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3. Straight-off-the-street Lifter –&lt;/strong&gt; Has not touched a &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;weight in more than three years and can't remember &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;what a "big lift" is or has never lifted a weight and never &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;heard of a "big lift". &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;His/her "exercise program" has &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;consisted of nothing more than walking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Recommended kettlebell size:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Men – 12 kg/26 lbs&lt;br /&gt;Women – 6 kg/13 lbs&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These are my base recommendations for &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;someone who is only going to purchase one kettlebell. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And believe it or not one kettlebell used consistently &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;will automatically put you on the path to fitness success. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;If you follow this simple selection chart, &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;you will not only enjoy your first kettlebell &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;experience but also get the most out if it whether &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;your goal is fat-loss, strength, muscle building, or &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;just plain getting healthy. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a

type='text'>My New Challenge</title><content type='html'>As most of you are well aware from my postings&lt;br /&gt;at the &lt;a href="http://kbfatloss.ning.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kettlebell Workout Resource.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;  &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I set a daily additional exercise challenge&lt;br /&gt;for myself of 100 kettlebell lifts&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Simple goal, not matter the weight or&lt;br /&gt;movement just 100 reps.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I tried not repeat too many sequences&lt;br /&gt;but I did have couple that I became&lt;br /&gt;fond of.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While I didn't get them in every day&lt;br /&gt;come hell or high water&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I did get all 10,000 repetitions done&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;100reps x 100days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had use a few 'make-up' days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As you might guess by performing an&lt;br /&gt;extra 10,000 reps I definitely got better&lt;br /&gt;at all my  kettlebell lifts during that time&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Along with that I got the extra work in&lt;br /&gt;which definitely helps in relation to weight&lt;br /&gt;loss and body composition&lt;br

What?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;New challenge of course, actually&lt;br /&gt;2 new challenges&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of them kind of started during the&lt;br /&gt;1o0 reps challenge and that is my quest&lt;br /&gt;to get 200 reps of snatches with the 24kg&lt;br /&gt;kettlebell in 10 minutes&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Secondly my new daily challenge is

Ultimately&lt;br /&gt;I am gunnning for a set of 30 straight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have made a couple of jumps up in&lt;br /&gt;my reps per set so far so I am hitting&lt;br /&gt;8 rep sets currently, should be to 10 rep&lt;br /&gt;sets pretty soon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I use all different grips to keep my the&lt;br /&gt;tendons in my elbows that I have a&lt;br /&gt;bit of trouble with from acting up. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Plus it adds variety.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The sit-ups aren't too bad, ultimately I would&lt;br /&gt;like to be able to do a set of 60 consecutive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The push-ups are the easiest kind of a no&lt;br /&gt;brainer, my secondary goal with them is to&lt;br /&gt;be able to do 100 consecutive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While it might sound a little mundane&lt;br /&gt;or boring daily practice of a lift or skill&lt;br /&gt; that you want to improve is a pretty sure&lt;br /&gt;way to get better.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My friend Dan John says something like:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;'If it is worth doing, do it daily if not don't &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;do it at all'&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; (I am paraphrasing)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am pretty excited at the prospect of&lt;br /&gt;being able to do a set of 30 pull-ups&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What are you excited about?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take a few seconds to think about&lt;br /&gt;a movment you might like to improve&lt;br /&gt;and  implement as your daily&lt;br /&gt;exercise challenge and&lt;br /&gt;leave a comment below&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are already using a daily challenge&lt;br /&gt;please share with the rest of us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Troy M Anderson&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://tinyurl.com/c2qgul"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Join the Kettlebell Meltdown Transformation Contest&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://kbfatloss.ning.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Your Kettlebell Weight Loss Resource&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.kettlebellfatlosstraining.com/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Get Your $7.97 Trial of Kettlebell Meltdown&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1688984870953480960-1396130008457739515?l=www.russiankettlebellworkouts.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.russiankettlebellworkouts.com/feeds/1396130008457739515/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.russiankettlebellworkouts.com/2009/05/my-new-challenge.html#comment-form' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1688984870953480960/posts/default/1396130008457739515'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1688984870953480960/posts/default/1396130008457739515'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.russiankettlebellworkouts.com/2009/05/my-new-challenge.html' title='My New Challenge'/><author><name>Troy Anderson</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02280302623034531865</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-G7hFEIz49GU/TpxUhaeGwII/AAAAAAAAAUA/0nmSzW7omQg/s220/Troy4.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_V1Sd1XqZXAE/SgMyeHuacnI/AAAAAAAAALY/MbdkA0bn1sE/s72-c/30-30.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1688984870953480960.post-6484079203721476721</id><published>2009-04-21T14:56:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-22T10:51:47.343-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Adjustable Kettlebells Good Idea Or Dumb</title><content type='html'>Adjustable dumbbells and for that matter&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;kettlebells&lt;/span&gt; have been around for awhile.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Back in the day I bought of pair of adjustable&lt;br /&gt;dumbbells from a company called &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;Ironmaster&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I thought they would really be slick, adjustable&lt;br /&gt;from 10-120lbs. Cost me a pretty penny too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well it turns out they were &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;OK&lt;/span&gt; but ended up&lt;br /&gt;being more of a pain in the ass than anything&lt;br /&gt;I still own them and use them on &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;occasion&lt;/span&gt; but&lt;br /&gt;they are far from my first choice of implement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ever since that time have NOT been a fan of adjustable&lt;br /&gt;fitness tools.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Welcome to the era of adjustable &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;kettlebells&lt;/span&gt;, while they&lt;br /&gt;have been available in various forms prior to now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The one I can recall were name &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;kettlestacks&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There seems to be a resurgence of production from&lt;br /&gt;pretty well known folks in the fitness product arena&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Look Anthony's product below I have actually held this&lt;br /&gt;product as Josh has one and it isn't a bad product by any&lt;br /&gt;means but like I said I just don't like the hassle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The three things Josh and I noticed were&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;a)  There is a subtle seam under the handle that I noticed&lt;br /&gt;b)  All the weight is in the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;kettlebell&lt;/span&gt; 'body' so actually&lt;br /&gt;feels heavier, not a bad thing&lt;br /&gt;c) The 'filling port' very large a far cry from some of the&lt;br /&gt;smaller ones in the past, a good thing&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Interestingly enough Josh has &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;received&lt;/span&gt;

The berries typically are&lt;br /&gt;dried blueberries, cranberries, or choke cherries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I did stumble across a couple sites that sell pemmican&lt;br /&gt;while doing a little research for this blog post.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.tankabar.com/"&gt;https://www.tankabar.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.grasslandbeef.com/"&gt;http://www.grasslandbeef.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think I will be ordering some product from each of&lt;br /&gt;these companies and doing a little tasting and write a&lt;br /&gt;review later.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will also be tweaking with my own version of paleo kits.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think my 'recipe' will involve.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-- Jerky (I am actually going to attempt to make it&lt;br /&gt;myself with my aunt’s recipe)&lt;br /&gt;-- Raw Almonds&lt;br /&gt;-- Pecans&lt;br /&gt;-- Dried Cranberries&lt;br /&gt;-- Dried Turkish Apricots&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hopefully this little piece has given you some thoughts or&lt;br /&gt;ideas for your own real food fat loss nutrition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you have an ideas on 'recipes' or have tried various&lt;br /&gt;'recipes' in the past please be sure to share by posting at&lt;br /&gt;the bottom in the comments area.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let's enjoy some natural eating on our way to fat loss.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;

How to do Double &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;kettlebell&lt;/span&gt; snatches? We covered this&lt;br /&gt;in an on the spot tutorial that I may shoot a video for at&lt;br /&gt;a later point in time. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These are an excellent and very challenging drill&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The other question I wanted to answer today was submitted&lt;br /&gt;by Daniel Kinney, he &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;asks&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What weight are you training with, and what type of &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;program are you on to up your snatch numbers?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While this might not be all that inspiring it is pretty telling on&lt;br /&gt;what it takes to 'get better' &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am training with 24kg/53lb KB&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's the shocker I am not really using any proper&lt;br /&gt;programming I am just practicing and testing on a weekly basis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Practice:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Comes in the form of my 100 rep workouts I do these&lt;br /&gt;everyday. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't always do snatches but I would estimate that&lt;br /&gt;I do snatches as a part of my 100 rep workout&lt;br /&gt;2-4 times per week.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I most commonly use the 20kg/44lb &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;kettlebell&lt;/span&gt; that&lt;br /&gt;sits next to my desk.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Test:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have been testing pretty much every Wednesday&lt;br /&gt;for the last 6-8 weeks I have a had a couple misses&lt;br /&gt;but been pretty consistent overall.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Protocol&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;24kg &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;Kettlebell&lt;/span&gt; Snatch as many reps&lt;br /&gt;as possible during 10 minute running&lt;br /&gt;clock.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pretty simple, to my knowledge this is&lt;br /&gt;what is called the Secret Service&lt;br /&gt;Snatch Test, by Pavel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Results:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I keep the results on the white board&lt;br /&gt;at my studio so I don't have the right in&lt;br /&gt;front of me but I can tell you what the&lt;br /&gt;progression has been.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Week 1&lt;/strong&gt; - 127 reps&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3 &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;Wks&lt;/span&gt; Ag0 -&lt;/strong&gt; best to date 171&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last week was 163 but that is coming&lt;br /&gt;off being sick and missing a week.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The ultimate goal is 200 reps which will&lt;br /&gt;be quite a challenge.  I heard somewhere&lt;br /&gt;one time that this was the gold standard&lt;br /&gt;so I figured I might as well shoot for it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am aiming at going 180+ this week which&lt;br /&gt;I believe will be an all time high.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The ultimate taken home message is that&lt;br /&gt;consistent practice will get you progress;

 I am big fan of whole food; you know shopping the perimeter of the store only buying real food that doesn't have any lables.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You could seriously waste a life time reading labels, so I say just stay away&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Only go after fruits, veggies, lean meats, eggs, and a little dairy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Simple stuff that you really can't overeat and are almost all excellent fat loss foods.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However there are a few hidden calories sources; that have even stumped me, until I took a moment to become a little more aware.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://kbfatloss.ning.com/"&gt;Kettlebell Exercise and Nutrition Community&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_V1Sd1XqZXAE/Scu8o8csW3I/AAAAAAAAAKA/q3D9yrkxkjY/s1600-h/vitamin-water.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317551196648266610" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_V1Sd1XqZXAE/Scu8o8csW3I/AAAAAAAAAKA/q3D9yrkxkjY/s200/vitamin-water.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Various Healthy Waters --&lt;/strong&gt; this one never really tricked me but the the way that they are marketed; can make it very confusing. When you take a look a the label and it even seems to have quite a bit less sugar than soda, yet when you do the math with 2.5 serv. per bottle you are tipping in at 33 grams of sugar per bottle. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;Not so conducive to losing belly fat&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_V1Sd1XqZXAE/Scu8o_hcHMI/AAAAAAAAAKI/uCvuSUG5BXo/s1600-h/balsamic-vinegar3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317551197473479874" style="WIDTH: 130px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_V1Sd1XqZXAE/Scu8o_hcHMI/AAAAAAAAAKI/uCvuSUG5BXo/s200/balsamic-vinegar3.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2. Balsamic vinegar --&lt;/strong&gt; This one tricked me for sure I had gotten some really delicious balsamic vinegar a while back and I was liberally using it on almost everything. Then I realized it had a label and on top of that that each tablespoon contained 11 grams of carbohydrate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was shocked who would have thought vinegar had any calories in it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_V1Sd1XqZXAE/Scu8pDBd7iI/AAAAAAAAAKQ/eTkUbDTVCL0/s1600-h/orange1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317551198413123106" style="WIDTH: 134px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_V1Sd1XqZXAE/Scu8pDBd7iI/AAAAAAAAAKQ/eTkUbDTVCL0/s200/orange1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3. Emergen-C --&lt;/strong&gt; Another one that got me, when I was sick last week I started taking the Emergen-C, vitamin C supplement I was taking several packets per day; and again I never thought about this Vitamin C supplement having anything more than vitamins and minerals in and here it had 6 grams of carbohydrate in. &lt;/p&gt;Tricky, luckly have just come off exposing the balsamic vinegar trick;  I took a look at the label on the packet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Will these products break the bank when it comes to fat loss results?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Probably not in the early phases.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However when you are in hot pursuit of your ultimate fat loss goal; a few grams here and a few grams there will definitely play a role in impeding your results.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hopefully this little post will help keep you vigilant and on your toes while you are out there going after you ulitmate body.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For more fat loss tips, kettlebell workouts and general support be&lt;br /&gt;sure to spot by our &lt;a href="http://kbfatloss.ning.com/"&gt;Kettlebell Exercise and Nutrition Community&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Troy M Anderson &amp;amp;

and as you&lt;br /&gt; know I have now moved to live video even cooler.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is one hiccup that video brings to the forefront and&lt;br /&gt;that is some people put out some stupid shit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The reason I say all this is that I saw some &lt;em&gt;‘stupid shit’&lt;/em&gt; with&lt;br /&gt;kettlebells out there this week; now I am not going to call&lt;br /&gt;anyone out I just wanted to give you a general commentary&lt;br /&gt;on couple things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I am not the one to ring the ‘that is dangerous bell’&lt;br /&gt;either because there are already too many of those out there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What I am is:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Basing my opinion off the fact that, when I can explain the&lt;br /&gt;movement I watched to my everyday clients they consistently&lt;br /&gt;asked ‘why would you do that’ = &lt;em&gt;stupid shit&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As with all things new and shiny things, just like the stability&lt;br /&gt; ball back in the early 90’s and now with the kettlebells people&lt;br /&gt;start to do stupid shit, because they get bored.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://kbfatloss.ning.com/"&gt;Join the Fastest Growing Fat Loss Community&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most of the time this boredom leads to people making up a:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ø&lt;/strong&gt; ‘new’ exercise to be novel&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ø&lt;/strong&gt; ‘new’ exercise to be a ‘progression’&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ø&lt;/strong&gt; ‘new’ exercise to be innovative&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ø&lt;/strong&gt; ‘new’ exercise because they don’t know how to program&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I prefer to call these folks geeks, because they always&lt;br /&gt;purchase the coolest newest gadget&lt;br /&gt;and instead of using the gadget for what is supposed to&lt;br /&gt;be used for they ‘try to make it better’&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the case of the kettlebell it has been around for at least&lt;br /&gt;100yrs and the lifts done with them have more than served&lt;br /&gt;those who have used them to get strong, lean, and mobile.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now there are some people out there that can do some amazing,&lt;br /&gt; challenging and even downright impossible feats with kettlebells.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These guys are &lt;strong&gt;NOT&lt;/strong&gt; doing stupid shit, they are &lt;strong&gt;FREAKS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They are very skilled, very practiced, and quite possibly freaks&lt;br /&gt;and it maybe unwise for people like you or even me to try and&lt;br /&gt;attempt what they are able to do without following the proper&lt;br /&gt;progression(s) and giving it the &lt;strong&gt;MASSIVE&lt;/strong&gt; amounts of practice&lt;br /&gt;needed to become a master of the movement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In my interview with Caroline Radway this week I shared my&lt;br /&gt;protocol for keeping boredom out of kettlebell training.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe that one should stick with a base set of movements like&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--presses&lt;br /&gt;--squats&lt;br /&gt;--lunges&lt;br /&gt;--rows&lt;br /&gt;--swings&lt;br /&gt;--snatches&lt;br /&gt;--cleans&lt;br /&gt;--get-ups&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://kbfatloss.ning.com/"&gt;Join the Fastest Growing Fat Loss Community&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And your variety should come from places like&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--changes in scenery you can go anywhere with your kettlebell&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--you can combine it with other activities like running, bodyweight&lt;br /&gt;
