Training & Nutrition Insider Secrets for a Lean-Body

Use a weight that you can still handle for your weakest lift of the bunch, but keep it
heavy enough to challenge you. Try to repeat the sequence 2-3 times without
resting... That’s 1 set. You could progress over time on this routine by increasing
the amount of times you repeat the sequence in each set, or by adding sets on
subsequent workouts before eventually increasing the weight. For example, say
you completed the above complex with 155-lbs for 3 sequences per set for 3 sets
in today’s workout. Next time you perform the workout, try to do 155 lbs for 3
sequences per set for 4 sets. Once you successfully complete 5 sets with 155,
increase the weight 5 or 10 lbs next time, and drop back to 3 sets. This is a great
way to make improvements over time, while cycling your training volume.
Now I’m going to show you a great kettlebell complex that really kicks my butt. I’ve
been training with kettlebells for a little over a year now, and can definitely say that
they’ve dramatically improved my strength, body composition, and overall physical
capabilities. If you’re not familiar with kettlebells, they are an old eastern European
training secret that has just started to take the US by storm over the last few years.
Many elite athletes are using kettlebells as their preferred training tool for serious
results. You can learn more info about body-hardening kettlebells here. I’d
recommend just starting off with one bell and learn all of the single kettlebell drills
first, before delving into the double-bell drills. Just one kettlebell coupled with some
bodyweight exercises can literally be enough to comprise your own home gym,
without any other equipment necessary. Or you can just incorporate kettlebell
training into your normal training routine once or twice a week to shake up your
routine and stimulate new results. Either way, they are one of the best fitness
products I’ve ever invested in that I’ll be able to use for the rest of my life.
