New Warrior Review of Mike Mahler’s Book “Live Life Aggressively: What Self Help Gurus Should Be Telling You”

In my opinion, Mike Mahler should have titled his new book, “Live Life Aggressively: What Self Help Gurus (& your so-called best friends, as well as your ego) Should Be Telling You.” Yet, I guess that would be a tad bit too long. However, Mike’s latest information-based effort addresses an area in which so many shy away from (including ourselves): telling us what we “need” to hear, instead of always what we “want” to hear.

 

Mike Mahler's "LIve Life Aggressively: What Self Help Gurus Should Be Telling You"

 

A few years ago, it seemed everyone and their mother was in an uproar over reading about (or watching) a collective group proclaim that in order to get what you want in life, you had to know a certain “secret.” However, after making all of the affirmations, proclamations, and eventually realizing that some of these shelf-help gurus were setting them up for “intentional” constipation, most folks realized the one thing they sought and needed most, was not a secret, but a cold hard shot of “self-inventory and the truth.”

 

As long as I have known Mike Mahler, I must admit that “the truth” is the one topic he Continue Reading »New Warrior Review of Mike Mahler’s Book “Live Life Aggressively: What Self Help Gurus Should Be Telling You”

New Warrior Media presents “A Few Minutes With A Girevik” #1: Jason Dolby

What’s up, New Warrior Nation. I know it’s been a while, since my last post. However, I’ve been traveling, learning, moving, improving, and putting together some great content  for you here on the NWT blog. Today is no exception.

It’s no secret how passionate I am about kettlebells and kettlebell sport. Kettlebell culture, as a sport, is still growing here in the West. However, athletes in the West have been very fortunate to train with some of the top kettlebell sport athletes, coaches, and world champions in the last few years, myself included.

Last month, I had the honor of training and learning from Honored Masters of Sport (among their many other accolades), Sergey Rudnev & Sergey Rachinskiy. In order to get an idea of what both of these coaches have accomplished, and what they are consistently do to help promote the sport and culture of kettlebells, be sure to stop by the International Kettlebell Sport & Fitness Academy’s (IKSFA) website.

However, today’s post features a kettlebell athlete a little closer to home. On numerous occasions on this blog, my Facebook page, and even on various workshop videos, you will find photos and clips of me and my friend, Jason Dolby. The kettlebell cultre has truly made the two of us family for life, and I not only consider J.D. my friend, but more like my brother.

[New Warrior Thoughts] “12 Teachings of the Great Grand Master Carlos Gracie Sr.”

I recently saw the following post via my friend, Rannoch Donald, via a strength coach and teacher of life that I truly look up to and admire, Martin Rooney. Martin simply shared the following from the Gracie Barra Jiu-Jitsu fanpage. Thus, I believe if anything should truly go viral in social media, it’s those things that make us all more knowledgeable, wiser, and, well….”sociable.”

 

I think everyone should print this out, post it where you will see Continue Reading »[New Warrior Thoughts] “12 Teachings of the Great Grand Master Carlos Gracie Sr.”

It’s Getting Real In The Whole Foods Parking Lot

Whenever I conduct grocery store tours at Whole Foods for my New Warrior Fitcamp & Kettlebell Club members, I always warn them of what days to avoid grocery shopping. Every weekend (especially Sundays) & Wednesdays, it seems like the Apocalypse and Ground Hog Day produce a weekly love child know as the, Whole Foods Parking Lot Experience.

 

My good friend, Uncle Mike Stehle, from the Training Room Online.com, posted a great Continue Reading »It’s Getting Real In The Whole Foods Parking Lot

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

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

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.
