Mike Mahler Discusses Power Exercises & His New Book on “The New Warrior Nation”

Posted by Sincere on May 16, 2011

Recently, I had the pleasure of speaking with my buddy, Mike Mahler on the phone. Mike is better known for his kettlebell expertise, tireless hormone optimization research, and as an great animal rescue advocate. However, Mike takes time out of his busy schedule to discuss his new DVD project with renown strength coach world class Strongman competitor, Mark Philippi, “Mastering The Power Exercises w/ Mark Philippi.” This DVD is a total 180, from what Mike is normally known for.

However, I will admit that the info Mark shares with Mike, in regards to building killer strength with the most basic moves, is beyond priceless and makes this DVD a must-have for anyone (male/female/adult/teen) looking to get better, stronger, break plateaus, leaner, as well as avoid senseless injuries.

 

Mike also gives us an exclusive heads up on the release of his soon-to-be-released new book, “Live Life Aggressively! What Self Continue Reading »Mike Mahler Discusses Power Exercises & His New Book on “The New Warrior Nation”

Top 10 New Warrior Thoughts You Can Learn From NFL Pro Ray Lewis

Posted by Sincere on April 25, 2011

Yesterday, my buddy & kick ass strength coach, Zach Even-Esh shared a video featuring NFL star Ray Lewis, that was just the kick in the pants I needed to hear. We all have good days and bad days, as well as, face challenges that seem make the road to success feel like LA traffic…going nowhere fast.  We’re all human. However, we can all be great, which is just one of the things Ray touches on, in the following clip.

Although, I am a die-hard Dallas Cowboys fan for life (often, to a fault), I’ve always admired this Baltimore Ravens pro linebacker’s work ethic, spiritual foundation, and ability to not only make an impact on the football field, but in the lives of those he comes in contact with off of the field.

The following clip showcases Ray sharing what keeps him going everyday, and what motivates him to Continue Reading »Top 10 New Warrior Thoughts You Can Learn From NFL Pro Ray Lewis

Posted by Sincere on April 7, 2011

In the never-ending quest to keep you safe from all things wrongly taught on YouTube University, here is another example of why it pays to get qualified instruction from a real certified kettlebell instructor, and not someone, such as lil’ mama in the following clip. I really don’t have to say much about this clip, as it speaks for itself. However, watch it, and then post your comments below.

Hey, look at the bright side. At least she Continue Reading »How “Not” To Train With Kettlebells: Episode 4: “Kettlebelly Dancing?”

A “Salute” To The Ultimate Bodyweight Exercise – “Performing The Human Flag” by Tim Bell

Posted by Sincere on March 9, 2011

Progressing Towards The Human Flag
Guest Post by:  Timothy Bell PTS

The human flag, it’s easily one of the most impressive feats of strength, core stability, tension, and total body control ever created. The human flag involves holding onto a vertical pole and supporting your body weight completely horizontal with only your hands touching the pole. Its a technique that many dream of one day performing, yet few know how to actually train to progress towards performing the human flag. As with every physical feat of strength there is a path of progressions that will help you one day achieve the human flag!

First things first, you’ll need to be very comfortable holding abdominal and core stability exercises for long periods of time. I would suggest starting with basic front planks, side planks, and super man holds. Once you’re holding all of these for longer than a minute each, it’s time to move onto some advanced planks. Advanced planks involve removing one or more limbs, for example performing a front plank with one foot off the ground.

Next, you’ll want to build your upper body strength in both pushing and pulling, this is because Continue Reading »A “Salute” To The Ultimate Bodyweight Exercise – “Performing The Human Flag” by Tim Bell

The Top 3 Things You Can Do Right Now To Make A Difference: “Listen, Laugh, Help”

Posted by Sincere on March 8, 2011

Yes, today is Mardi Gras, and I planned on posting a “Non” Fat Tuesday-style workout. However, when I work up this morning, I received a Facebook email, via my buddy Mike Mahler. Mike shared a post from another friend, and and all around great guy, comedian, John Heffron. Usually, John creates some of the funniest videos, and shares them with us on Facebook. However, this message had a differnet tone, and was a lot more personal. I will keep this simple, and quote John’s Facebook message, below:

“2 soldiers in Edwin‘s (my brother in laws) unit that have paid the ultimate sacrifice this week, Fahey and Weaver may you RIP! In addition to Continue Reading »The Top 3 Things You Can Do Right Now To Make A Difference: “Listen, Laugh, Help”

Kat Ljubicic of BadKat Bodies Stops By The New Warrior Nation

Posted by Sincere on March 7, 2011

Ok, so I’ve been a little M.I.A. with my blog posts, as I was away on vacation, celebrating my 2 year anniversary, with my best friend and most “awesomist” woman in the world, my wife. Also, I have been gearing up for competing at the IKFF Kettlebell Invitationals, in Novi, Michigan, this week. However, I’m back on the grind, with the blog posts. As for being m.i.a., blame my mind, not my heart ;-)

A few weeks ago, I had to pleasure to receive a Facebook message from an awesome chica, who planned to visit the great state of Texas, during Super Bowl weekend. Her name is Kat Ljubicic, of BadKatBodies in Toronto, Canada.

There’s no question that Kat Ljubicic is one of the baddest, toughest, and strongest people I know. This rockin mama, not only kicks a- – in training, but one you get to know her, you will see how she kicks a- – in life.

Kat continues to not only inspire many, at her Continue Reading »Kat Ljubicic of BadKat Bodies Stops By The New Warrior Nation
