I'm joined on this episode once again by none other than Clif "No Need For a Nickname" Harski. We covered a boatload of ground on this one - so much so you might even want to whip out your favorite notebook and pencil to take some notes as you listen. Here's a sneak peek at what all we covered: 0:06:16 - Kettlebell Training Techniques Cliff's double snatch with 44 kilo kettlebells Discussion of kettlebell training complexity 0:08:42 - BA Method of Training Explanation of Be Able, Be Athletic, Be Adaptable approach Importance of variety in strength training 0:13:37 - Real-World Strength vs. Gym Strength Discussion of athletic movement and adaptability Indiana Jones analogy for strength training limitations 0:17:15 - Injury and Training Cliff's knee injury and kettlebell training approach Maintaining athleticism through specific training 0:44:55 - Training Philosophy Discussion of minimalist vs. varied training approaches Importance of trying new training methods 0:55:38 - Kettlebell Community and Certifications Discussion of RKC, Strong First, and kettlebell training evolution 1:01:21 - Single Leg and Bulgarian Training Cliff's experience with Bulgarian cleans Benefits of single-leg and power training Follow Clif online at: Instagram: @Clifharski @Painfreetraining 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. Even cooler: Many find that it actually amplifies their strength in their favorite kettlebell and bodyweight moves, like presses, squats, pullups, 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
