Training Tips

Turn Up the Volume

Training volume is always a hotly contested issue, with the magical, idealized, “optimal” strategy always being approached but rarely encountered.

PhDs Mike Israetel and Milo Wolf are on the case to help you make heads and tails of the appropriate volume required for continued growth, maintenance, and avoidance of overtraining. In short, more may be better up to a point, but it simply becomes excess work for limited actual results after a while. Lucky for you, our breakdown below demystifies the whole thing.

Kettlebells

Reset and Rethink

After a hard summer training block, likely directly preceded by a “get peeled for the beach” phase, it’s common for a lifting cycle to flounder in the falling autumnal foliage.

Enter the kettlebell. By shifting your focus to kettlebell-style circuit training, you can strengthen some weak points, increase your work capacity, and freshen up your training while still progressing toward your ultimate goals.

Short, sweet, and intense, the kettlebell workouts below will lead to funk-busting sweat sessions that drag you out of long days at the gym spent resting in between sets. Start with lighter weight than you think you can handle, and don’t get too judge-y with yourself if the cardio seems a bit too much to handle. Remember, you’re doing this for a reason.

See what kettlebell training can do for you, and learn how to stitch it into the fabric of your overall training tapestry.
