Your kettlebell swing might be too light — and it's costing you results.

The hip hinge (glutes, hamstrings, lower back) is one of the strongest movement patterns your body has.

If your swing feels easy for 20+ reps with zero effort in your hips, you're doing low-level cardio with a paperweight in your hands.

Your body resists change if you don't challenge it.

More bent-over rows. For those who haven’t been on the channel for a while, I’m using a 20-pound ankle weight to increase the load of my . It works great. Super comfortable and gets the dumbbells up to 110 pounds safely.

The Turkish Get-Up is usually treated like a single exercise. I treat it like a movement hub.

First I train movements like Cossack squats, kettlebell sn**ches, lunges, swings, and overhead presses in isolation to build strength and control.

Then I start stacking those movements inside the Turkish Get-Up.

Instead of simply standing up, I might lower the kettlebell down to the front rack position and use a Cossack squat to stand up.

On the way back down, I use different transitions like reverse lunges or overhead squats.

The goal isn’t to make the movement fancy. The goal is integration.

Isolation builds the parts.

Movement stacking proves the parts work together.

Train the pieces, then connect them.

When I want to improvise and move, I reach for my kettlebells and Turkish get-ups.

Once I’m in a standing position, anything goes.

Whatever I do on one side, I try to mirror it on the other.

Gym work is almost always preplanned (as it should be) and follows a recipe.

It’s been extremely refreshing over the last decade to include workouts where I make it up as I go.

Macebell 360 swings aren’t a max strength or muscle-building exercise — but that doesn’t mean they’re useless.

Used correctly, macebell 360s can improve shoulder movement quality, coordination, rhythm, grip strength, and controlled rotational patterning.

I use macebells 3 to 4 times per week in workouts, but not as the main meal.

Sometimes I’ll do longer work sets with high repetitions, and sometimes I’m looking for shorter bursts inside of warm-ups before compound resistance training.

The big message here is to understand what they will and won’t do for you.

Unique-shaped gym tools offer opportunities for unique exercises and training stimuli. I think about macebells in the same way that I thought about kettlebells back when they were introduced in the mid-2000s.

built my new favorite piece of equipment, The Adonis.

I'll never even get close to maxing out this thing's weight capacity.

Hybrid exercise pulling exercise here.

Odd stance and a hybrid pulling angle, not quite vertical and not quite horizontal.

With nothing holding me down, I’m limited in weight for this exercise by what doesn’t pull me off the floor.

Another 5-10lbs and I'm exceeding my bodyweight and therefore my ability to do this exercise at all.

Went to technical failure.

Single arm kettlebell sn**ch, pulling from the floor.

Doing my best to improve power. I really like this move.

I taught myself how to use kettlebells—sn**ches, swings, cleans, slingshots, Turkish get-ups, and beyond.

I don’t exclusively use kettlebells, but man, they make a ton of sense for my time, goals, etc.

One simple bell, one focused session, repeated.

When I didn't have a home gym to train, it didn't matter.

Kettlebells delivered the same training effect no matter what room I was in, inside or outside, traveling or at home.

Progress is rarely dramatic in the moment.

It shows up quietly, from putting in work day after day.

Small, repeatable habits.

I do a lot of stuff in the gym. I keep it fresh, but I never lose sight of the foundational exercises that need attention.

One of the wisest things I did many years ago was commit to more upper-body pulling exercises.

Rows aren’t sexy, but they’re part of a well-balanced program and help to keep my body balanced.

Inverted rows, not shown here, is one of my all-time favorite pulling exercises.
