The Hammer Cast

Get my 9-Minute Kettlebell & Bodyweight Challenge FREE here: http://www.9MinuteChallenge.com Is THIS the most ambitious crossover episode ever? Aleks Salkin, Pat Flynn, AND Al Kavadlo all in the same place? You're not dreaming, pal. It's real, and it's spectacular. Listen in as we tell YOU about how to stop overthinking your fitness so you can get busy getting the gains you so desperately crave.

Get my 9-Minute Kettlebell & Bodyweight Challenge FREE here: http://www.9MinuteChallenge.com I get lots of questions sent my way through various channels: email, social media, singing telegram, etc. And no matter where they come from, I always do my level best to answer as many such questions as I get. This podcast takes a couple of people's burning questions and gives them some soothing answers. Listen in, and feel free to send your own questions my way as well.

Get my 9-Minute Kettlebell & Bodyweight Challenge FREE here: http://www.9MinuteChallenge.com Some of the greatest questions in life are also those that cut deepest into the human psyche and reveal untold mysteries of the human condition. "What is the meaning of life?" "To be, or not to be?" "Boxers or briefs?" And when it comes to training, there is another question that has cut in another direction; a direction that people since time immemorial have been grappling with: "Hacks" or hard work? I aim to answer this question (and more) on this episode.

Get my 9-Minute Kettlebell & Bodyweight Challenge FREE here: http://www.9MinuteChallenge.com I'm joined on this fine episode by Dr. Judson Corn - an ER doctor, life-long fitness enthusiast, and avid member of my Inner Circle and all-around crusher of weakness. We talked about a great many epic things on this splendiferous episode, including: * How he suffered from - and ultimately overcame - asthma as a child * His journey from outdoor sports and activities to strength training * How frustration in his efforts toward greater gains led him to Yours Jewly - and how my programs helped him crush weakness and conquer gravity in ways he never thougth possible * Some of the crazy stuff he's seen and saved people from in the ER * Much, much more This is one episode you won't want to miss! On that note, if you like training that: Gives you more strength than it takes from you Improves your stamina and resilience simultaneously Powers-up every nook, cranny, crevice, and corner of your Soft Machine Then you just might like my 9-Minute Kettlebell and Bodyweight Challenge. As the name indicates, it's just 9 minutes long, and it's designed to be done WITH your current workouts — NOT instead of them. How? By harnessing the power of your body's gait pattern (i.e. walking pattern) to unleash the strength ALREADY hidden inside you — via movements like crawling, loaded carries, and more. Even cooler: Many find that it actually amplifies their strength in their favorite kettlebell and bodyweight moves, like presses, squats, pull-ups, and more. And best of all, it's free. How free? I'm talkin' freer than the 4th of July, my friend. Get thee thine own copy here => http://www.9MinuteChallenge.com Have fun and happy training! Aleks Salkin

Get my 9-Minute Kettlebell & Bodyweight Challenge FREE here: http://www.9MinuteChallenge.com I field a lot of questions from people who like to work out at home/on their own — both beginner and intermediate in their strength endeavors — and probably the single commonest problem I encounter is that of stalled results. The thing to keep in mind is that your body doesn't really care about your goals — it only cares about homeostasis (i.e. internal stability). It will only make changes when you thoroughly convince it that these changes are necessary for survival. This is a pretty major oversimplification, but for our purposes it gets the point across. Your results can stall out for a number of reasons, and rather than just list them all, I want to pose a few questions to you to see where you stand or where perhaps you've fallen and need to pick back up. And naturally, I pose those questions on this podcast. Listen in and enjoy!

Get my 9-Minute Kettlebell & Bodyweight Challenge FREE here: http://www.9MinuteChallenge.com Before you get too triggered by the headline of this article, let me just start by saying I love the kettlebell. I really, really do. This year marked 14 years since I first picked up a kettlebell, and it has seriously changed my life for the better. It has led me by the hand(le) on some pretty incredible journeys — from enthusiastic student to budding teacher to globe-hopping workshop giver-type-guy and beyond. It's been truly amazing. In this time, I've learned a lot about what the kettlebell can do — and I've also learned about what it can't do. Or perhaps more to the point, what it doesn't do. If you're creative in your training (and you should be!) the kettlebell can be used to continually drive your progress boldly forward, but you can't be conventional with how you use it (or not solely conventional, that is). From my experience, the main problem with the kettlebell is that it lulls you down an overly predictable path with the two primary advantages it gives you, the exerciser. What are they, and how can you make sure you can actually still make gains in your training? Guess what, dawg: that's exactly what this episode is about. So STOP reading and start listening already!

Get my 9-Minute Kettlebell & Bodyweight Challenge FREE here: http://www.9MinuteChallenge.com All right, let's get to the question that is on everyone's mind (or maybe it isn't, I don't know): Is Greasing the Groove any good? Greasing the Groove, in case you didn't know, is the act of practicing a strength movement throughout the day at VERY reasonable levels. For example, if you could do, say, 10 reps of a given exercise, you would stick between 3–5 reps, and you would do 1 set maybe every 30 minutes to 2 hours. And you don't just do it willy-nilly, either. You have to be laser focused on the technique and overall execution of the exercise to really get good at it. I break down some of the best ways to Grease the Groove to Greater Gains in this episode.

Get my 9-Minute Kettlebell & Bodyweight Challenge FREE here: http://www.9MinuteChallenge.com "Life is not a journey. Life is a process." — Dan Pena Pena is a success coach known as the 50 Billion Dollar Man — a man who grew up dirt poor in East LA and went on to become worth half a billion dollars through grit and determination and has coached so many students to success that their combined net worth is now said to be 50 billion dollars (hence his moniker). Pena's quote really stuck with me, because it perfectly encapsulates success as a whole, including in strength and fitness endeavors — it's not a "journey" (unless you like spinning your wheels and don't care where you go). It's a process. And not just ANY process — it's a process that has to have two things - both of which (and much more) I dive into on this podcast.

Get my 9-Minute Kettlebell & Bodyweight Challenge FREE here: http://www.9MinuteChallenge.com Pullups are, without a doubt, one of the few truly essential exercises. Climbing, hanging, and generally pulling yourself upward is a skill that's been passed down to us from our ancient forefathers til today. While they needed it for different reasons (climbing to escape predators, climbing to find food, etc) for our purposes the benefits of overhead pulling are in strengthening the back, arms, grip, and abs (yes, even abs) — all of which will greatly increase your usable, real-world strength in leaps and bounds, make your shoulders resilient, and start helping you fight back against the ravages of PPP syndrome (piss-poor posture) caused by sitting all day and just generally not moving a lot. But what if you CAN'T do a single pullup yet? This episode will give you some insights on how to nail your first one (without one of those silly rubber band setups, too) here's a video demo: https://youtu.be/IG9qHQfoWNM

Get my 9-Minute Kettlebell & Bodyweight Challenge FREE here: http://www.9MinuteChallenge.com Crawling is one of those rare movements where more really can be better and not just more. There are some caveats to consider, and it's best to build up to it, but 10 minutes of crawling non-stop is a great goal for just about anybody, and can be scaled to any level of fitness. Best of all, there are a litany of benefits that go along with it. What are those benefits, you ask? Well, I'll tell you all about 'em! Tune in and enjoy.

Get my 9-Minute Kettlebell & Bodyweight Challenge FREE here: http://www.9MinuteChallenge.com The way you're squatting is not enough to strengthen your legs. If you're thinking "them's fightin' words!" just hear me out. The way most of us squat is with our feet flat on the floor, a weight (or weights) in our hands or on our back. This is a good start (a great one, actually) and will certainly go a long way in building stronger, more powerful legs. However! There's more to squatting than just front and back squats and the occasional pistol. In order to have truly strong legs, you have to mix things up from time to time. I give you some ideas on how to do just that in this fine episode.

Get my 9-Minute Kettlebell & Bodyweight Challenge FREE here: http://www.9MinuteChallenge.com One of the biggest roadblocks toward gaining serious strength and conditioning is overthinking. It's a stalling tactic, and is usually used by people who might really want to get fit, but are afraid of pulling the trigger. For the record, I understand why. There are thousands of programs, workouts, and possibilities for your strength, health, and fitness. The more options you have at your disposal, the harder it is to make a choice. The solution? A "Do this!" approach to your workouts — one that is so simple, so straight forward, and so easy to understand that it makes pulling the trigger a lot easier so you can stop navel-gazing and start seeing some results. This episode will dish on that.

Get my 9-Minute Kettlebell & Bodyweight Challenge FREE here: http://www.9MinuteChallenge.com My big M.O. in training my students is always to look to old-school, proven approaches to training before I ever even look sideways at something "cutting edge". The reasoning is simple: 1) If it worked in such adverse conditions as those that prevailed in the 1800s (or hell, 2000+ years ago) then it will certainly work under modern easy living 2) The human body and the processes it is subject to haven't changed significantly since then — so why re-invent the wheel? Start from here and it'll take you far. A good place to start in particular is with the piece of equipment I mention in this episode. Tune in and enjoy. Aleks

Get my 9-Minute Kettlebell & Bodyweight Challenge FREE here: http://www.9MinuteChallenge.com We all know by now that modern living is sedentary far beyond what it rightfully should be. So what has society's answer to this been? Why, exercise, of course! And lots of it. Some would say we don't exercise enough. I would say I half agree, but we need to define some terms (but on MY terms): Exercise (n): physical activity done in an organized, structured fashion. This differs slightly from the textbook definition of exercise, but there's a reason for that. What, pray tell, IS that reason? I tell you all about it on this episode. Listen in and enjoy.

In this episode we have a freewheeling chat on social media, high school gym class, veganism vs. eating meat, and much, much more. (Oh, and Al has a brand-new book coming out about building your mobility through minimalist means, so you might wanna check that out, too: https://strongandfit.com/products/mobility-man-by-al-kavadlo)

Get my 9-Minute Kettlebell & Bodyweight Challenge FREE here: http://www.9MinuteChallenge.com There's been a lot of talk recently about the importance of consistency above everything in your training. And you know what? I agree with that. You need to remain consistent. But before you can be consistent, you need THIS. Tune in and find out WTF I'm talking about and why it's so important.

Get my 9-Minute Kettlebell & Bodyweight Challenge FREE here: http://www.9MinuteChallenge.com I wanna show you 3 of my favorite go-to tips to help you hit a PR in SOMETHING today. These are universally applicable (i.e. from upper body to lower body exercises and anything in between). If your training has been consistent and you're not too worn down from work, kids, a nagging spouse, existential dread, or something similar, you may very well find that you'll be able to crank out an extra rep, put up some heavier weight, or lift your old PR with greater ease!

Get my 9-Minute Kettlebell & Bodyweight Challenge FREE here: http://www.9MinuteChallenge.com I'm joined on this fine episode by my friend and former Master kettlebell instructor in not one, but TWO organizations...David Whitley (aka 'The Iron Tamer') On this episode, Dave and I take a slightly different, yet mighty important turn toward a topic that touches us all: casting off the shakles of the past to march boldly toward a future that is brighter not just for us, but more importantly for our children - and how to do that by UNlearning many of thing thoughts and habits we picked up as kids. Be sure to check out Dave's fascinating workshop on the topic (totally free, btw) on January 24th, 2023: https://www.advancingmanproject.com/optin-551722801660616478080

Get my 9-Minute Kettlebell & Bodyweight Challenge FREE here: http://www.9MinuteChallenge.com Henry Rollins, the lead singer of Black Flag and The Rollins Band, once said that "the definition of definition is re-invention" as far as deciding who you are as a person. Your job as an individual is to define yourself FOR yourself — not to rely on the ready-made identity your parents wanted for you (though you may certainly find inspiration in that, as I have). On the strength front, this is more important now than ever (especially if you're a millenial). Listen, apply, and enjoy!

Get my 9-Minute Kettlebell & Bodyweight Challenge FREE here: http://www.9MinuteChallenge.com I'm joined on this riveting episode by Rob Pleban - a long-time Hammer Head (i.e. follower of Yours Jewly, the Hebrew Hammer) and even longer time enthusiast for kettlebells, calisthenics, and old-school training from near-forgotten eras (something I'm also very interested in). Listen in as he walks us through his journey to greater strength, health, and physical vitality in his 70s than in his "spring chicken years"

Get my 9-Minute Kettlebell & Bodyweight Challenge FREE here: http://www.9MinuteChallenge.com Without question, learning how to avoid common mistakes in your training — mistakes that hold back your gains, frustrate your efforts, and do precious little more than kill your success and take you way off course while your friends surge boldly forward — is a must. And if you're a busy professional with limited time to work out, you don't have a lot of time for trial and error — so there's no sense in taking a shot in the dark and hoping for the best. With that said, one of the best and most frequently ignored methods of boosting your strength in just about anything is...exactly what I talk about in this podcast. Tune in and check it out.

Get my 9-Minute Kettlebell & Bodyweight Challenge FREE here: http://www.9MinuteChallenge.com Ready thyself and steel thy nerves, dear reader, because in this short, no BS article I'm going to show you what is undoubtedly the WORST kettlebell combo EVER. Not because it's ineffective (it's highly effective). Not because it's dangerous (the opposite, in fact) And not because you'll barely be able to move after (you'll likely move far better) So why is it the worst? Listen in and find out.

Get my 9-Minute Kettlebell & Bodyweight Challenge FREE here: http://www.9MinuteChallenge.com On this fine episode I am joined by my partner in rhyme Pat Flynn, where we take a look at a video that YouTuber and would-be boxing contender KSI posted on Twitter showcasing some rather...how shall we say...amateurish front squat form. To see it yourself, be sure to check out the video on YouTube. Otherwise sit back, relax, and listen in as we discuss the importance of hiring a coach who not only has your best interests in mind, but can actually teach you properly.

Get my 9-Minute Kettlebell & Bodyweight Challenge FREE here: http://www.9MinuteChallenge.com Manifestos often get a bad rap. Serial killers have them. The Unibomber had one. Karl Marx had one. But really, a manifesto is kind of like a mission statement, and if you've seen enough James Bond and Mission: Impossible movies, you know that missions are badass and totally cool. So why the "anti-exercise" manifesto? Because exercise — as necessary as it is for us nowadays — is to movement what vitamins and protein powder are to eating: a supplement. Ideally you should be adding exercise and (maybe) nutritional supplements to your existing movement routine and diet. What in the hell can I possibly mean by this? Listen in closely and find out.

Tune in to this riveting episode and listen to his awesome story!

Get my 9-Minute Kettlebell & Bodyweight Challenge FREE here: http://www.9MinuteChallenge.com If you're like me and you prefer to train at home, you'll typically have to be a little more creative with your workouts to get the results you're after. The good news is that creativity in training can make some much-needed creativity elsewhere in your life easier. The better news is that you you'll very possibly end up with a badazz physique because you won't be doing the cookie-cutter programs you see everyone in the gym doing, AND you'll be more likely to stick with it since training at home is far more convenient. Win/win! And let's say one of your goals is to beef up your skinny shoulders. Good for you. This episode will show you how.

Get my 9-Minute Kettlebell & Bodyweight Challenge FREE here: http://www.9MinuteChallenge.com I'm a very contemplative person. I often sit around and ponder the deeper mysteries of life, such as "What is the meaning of life?", "what is the sound of one hand clapping?" and "what makes Teflon stick to the pan?" Occasionally I land on a question for deeper consideration than all of the above: "How can people get stronger without grinding themselves into the ground?" That's exactly what I aim to uncover on this fine episode. Tune in and find out.

Get my 9-Minute Kettlebell & Bodyweight Challenge FREE here: http://www.9MinuteChallenge.com I'm joined on this brand-new episode of TRANSFORMATION TUESDAY by none other than bona fide Hammer Head Jim Bain - whom I have affectionately dubbed "The Scottish Mad Lad" for his ability to make crazy good gains despite both working a hard labor job AND creeping ever upward toward age 50. Listen in and hear his epic tale of working some of the craziest, toughest jobs around AND doing some hard-as-nails workouts at the same time. (Side note: We didn't cover this in the episode itself, but Jim mentioned something to me after we finished recording that made me want to let you all know: his grandma's milk man in Edinburgh, Scotland way back in the day was none other than Sean Connery himself! According to her "I'm glad he turned out to be a good actor because he was a rubbish milk man")

Get my 9-Minute Kettlebell & Bodyweight Challenge FREE here: http://www.9MinuteChallenge.com One of my favorite quotes ever is from the Chief instructor of StrongFirst's kettlebell education department, Brett Jones: "Lock me in a room with a 16 kg kettlebell. I will get stronger." You don't have to be that extreme since there are definitely benefits to owning a multitude of kettlebells and other equipment, but most people make the mistake of thinking that owning an entire caravan of bells and other equipment is their ticket to strength. It's not! It certainly doesn't hurt, but it's no guarantee either. Here are 3 reasons why sticking with only 1 kettlebell can be one of the best things you do for your strength.

It's been a long time since I've done a bonus episode on a topic that interests me outside of fitness (and believe you me, there are many!) so I thought I would give some of my stream-of-consciousness thoughts on the story of the Hebrew Patriarch Abraham, and some of the hidden and interesting insights I've gleaned from re-reading about his history-changing life in the Book of Genesis.

Get my 9-Minute Kettlebell & Bodyweight Challenge FREE here: http://www.9MinuteChallenge.com I'm a big fan of pull-ups.

Get my 9-Minute Kettlebell & Bodyweight Challenge FREE here: http://www.9MinuteChallenge.com There are two major trends in the way people train (from my observations) 1) Those who seek endless variety (i.e. they need to be entertained) 2) Those who never change up their workouts The first group never gets good results because they never stay in one place long enough. The second group tends to end up with serious muscle imbalances and overuse injuries because they stay in one place too long. So how do we achieve *optimal* results? Well, I'm about to dish on that in this fine episode.

Get my 9-Minute Kettlebell & Bodyweight Challenge FREE here: http://www.9MinuteChallenge.com Functional fitness expert Paul Chek has described pattern overload as when you perform a movement so much that it basically becomes like poison to your body. That "poison" might manifest itself as pain (such as an overuse injury), or it might just manifest itself as your body getting weaker at the movement. In either case, it's not cool. It also might be the reason why you seem to be actually getting WEAKER rather than stronger from your training. The solution? Well, I dive deep into that in this very episode. Dig in!

And you know what? Military pressing *is* great! I like it a lot.

Get my 9-Minute Kettlebell & Bodyweight Challenge FREE here: http://www.9MinuteChallenge.com I'm a big believer in two things: 1) Being time efficient during workouts 2) Being energy INefficient during workouts The time efficiency thing is just a given; unless you have boatloads of time on your hands (who does?), you need to plan to get in, out, and noticeably strong in a short period of time. This episode contains just such a plan.

Get my 9-Minute Kettlebell & Bodyweight Challenge FREE here: http://www.9MinuteChallenge.com There are very few TRULY hard-and-fast rules to strength and conditioning, but there are lots of guidelines. When it comes to those of us who train at home, having some trusty, go-to modes of operation can help you gain more from your workouts. One of those things is using calisthenics for strength and kettlebells for conditioning only. Obviously you don't have to do this forever, but if you've never tried it, lemme tell ya: it's worth a shot. Why is that? There are a couple of reasons - all of which will be revealed on this fine show. Tune in, grab some popcorn, and enjoy.

Get my 9-Minute Kettlebell & Bodyweight Challenge FREE here: http://www.9MinuteChallenge.com I've noticed two unfortunate patterns in people as they get older who continue to strength train: 1) They get less and less mobile 2) They get more and more tweaks and outright injuries While the above two things are most certainly related to one another, they are NOT related to the discipline of strength training. Or at least they don't have to be. In this episode I will dish on exactly how to make that dream a reality.

And given my profession, naturally health, strength, and working out all ended up on the menu of conversation as well. She is a nurse who was working toward her doctorate and was (as you might rightly imagine) busy AF all the dang time. One topic that came up was the following: "How do you work out when you're busy AF?" I aim to answer exactly that question on this fine episode. Tune in and check it out.
