Here’s another training session, about a week out from my first time competing at the 2010 Arnold Classic, and my first time participating in a kettlebell sport competition.

After, reviewing this clip, I found a few tweaks that would help me get more reps, be more efficient in my movement, and reduce muscle fatigue.

One of the first things I worked on, after filming this, was closing the distance between me and the bells, as I went into the swing portion of the lift.

I remember Andrew Durniat mentioning this small tweak, last fall at Mike Mahler’sAge of Quarrel” workshop.

When giving the bells a small “bump,” as you come out of the rack and go into the swing, let you upper body slightly fall away from the descending bells.

Dude! You have no idea how much this helps get your numbers up, preserves your grip, and reduces the chance of the bells pulling you forward. There’s nothing more detrimental to your reps, sets, and long cyle training, than trying to fight the bells for body control.

The name of the game is “Efficiency” & “Economy of Movement.”

I highly suggest anyone looking to discover some of the best technique for achieving more efficient lifts, getting better numbers, gaining more strength, mass, power, or simply learning from the best, in terms of kettlebell training, joint mobility, advanced bodyweight training, indian club training, and more,

you owe it to yourself, and/or your clients to grab a copy of the “Age of Quarrel” DVD set from http://strengthbymahler.com. It is totally worth it, and will pay your training game back with big dividends.

Folks always ask what we do in our fitness bootcamp and what makes us different than the gazillion bootcamps in Houston (especially in our park location).

Trust me, it’s not just about the workouts (because, we don’t workout…we play).

It’s not just about the tools we use (it seems like everyone is trying to go “underground” with their training methods & use tires, sandbags, kettlebells, etc).

Heck, it’s not about offering a bootcamp, in order to get you out of the gym. (Again, it seems everyone & their mom offers a bootcamp, these days.)

So what makes us different?

This is a place for folks to stop wishing, complaining, hoping, and wanting their hands held.

This is a “Punk-Free” zone. If you are a true “go-getter,” this is the place for you.

If you want to reenact a scene from a weight loss reality TV show, and cry about what you “CAN’T” do & how hard things are…this is not the place for you.

If you are fed up with your quality of life not meeting your expectations, and are committed to doing something about it “RIGHT NOW!” then this is the place for you.

If you have a warrior inside of you, ready to get out and take charge in the world, and surround yourself with fellow Warriors & Warriorettes, who share your inner fire, then this is the place for you.

If you’re more concerned with “how much is it” versus “how committed am I,” then keep it moving. This is not the place for you.

The members of my JoshOne FitCamp & New Warrior Kettlebell Training Classes play hard, have fun, are not afraid to sweat, despise whiners, cheer on winners, ignore quitters, continuously meet & set new goals, and most importantly, get the results they seek!

If you are ready to make it happen, RIGHT NOW, stop “thinking about it,” and make the first move, by logging on to http://joshonefitcamp.com.

Here’s a really crazy circuit of kettlebells & bodyweight exercises, that will have you smoked.
It definitely had one of my New Warrior Kettlebells – Houston warriors sweating, as you will see in this video. Here is the workout:

Perform each exercise, back to back, without rest for 1 min. each.
Once you’ve completed 1 round of all four exercises, rest for 90 seconds, and repeat.
Complete 5 rounds, and let me know how it goes.

As always, play hard and have “FUN!”

1. 2 Hand kettlebell swings
2. Burpees (without the push up)
3. Alternating Push Ups (w/ 1 hand elevated on the kettlebell)
4. Kettlebell 1/2 sit up w/ 2 hand overhead raise

Here are some video highlights from one of our Team AM (awakeningsmovement.com) training sessions at the playground. We are a few weeks out from competing for the first time, in the Men’s Health Urbanathlon.

During the time that we shot this footage, my focus was to help build up the guys’s muscle endurance, improve their overall conditioning, and build some killer strength, using only their bodyweight.

It started to get dark outside, during this training session, so some of the clips are not shown, due to the quality. However, this session’s program is listed below.

The workout circuit consisted of the following:

1. Box Jump Squats
2. Decline Push Ups
3. Bulgarian Split Squat
4. Incline Plyo Push Up (bonus: add a chest slap & behind the back clap)
5. Decline Mt. Climbers
6. Step Ups
7. Dips

Perform each exercise for 1 min. before moving to the next one. Rest 30 sec. between each exercise. Perform 5 rounds.

Take this workout for a spin, and get back to me. I’m sure you’re heart will be racing, but it will definitely add some spice to your current routine.
