We’re all meatheads here, but the truth is no matter how much we enjoy training, eventually we’re gonna have our peaks and valleys with the level of enthusiasm we have towards it. And if left unattended, this can eventually lead to a level of burnout that makes you fall out of love with training all together. My remedy for this is simple… Have some other hobbies in conjunction with lifting! For me it’s archery, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and competition barbecue. Some may argue that having multiple loves takes from the MAXIMUM you can get from one, but I find that being passionate about all of these hobbies keeps me from getting TOO hyper focused on one hobby (which makes those natural ebbs and flows of enthusiasm seem less extreme)… With that said, for the sake of getting to know more about you, what are some of the additional hobbies you’ve got?? Let me know in the comments or replying to this email…

One of my FAVORITE ways to spice up any routine done with a pair of kettlebells (or dumbbells if that’s what you’ve got access to) is performing fundamental movements while loading the weights at different levels. Here’s what I mean. Doing a squat with one in the overhead position and the other in the rack, or one in the rack while the other’s in the anchor (at side)… This adds a demand on not just the primary movers of the exercise, but your core and upper back too! Ultimately letting you get more work done in the same time window that you do the exercise in…Big boost to training economy! Here’s a great example of how I do this wrapped into a killer total body “Man-Maker” routine!
