FOUR REASONS WHY YOU WILL BENEFIT FROM OUR DVD:

Steve Cotter: Russian Professional Kettlebell System And Chi-Kung

The most exhaustive instruction on Russian professional kettlebell lifting ever seen on DVD. If you want to learn the most efficient way to use kettlebells for endurance and work capacity, then you need to know how Russian professionals use kettlebells. Steve went all the way to Russia to learn from the best in the world and his section on the clean, swing, snatch, and jerk is the best that I have seen period. Frankly his section is worth the price alone. If you want to get the most out of cleans, swings, snatches, and jerks then you want this DVD. In addition to Steve’s exceptional kettlebell instruction, he took it one step further with his chi-kung section. This is exactly what you need to add to your training regimen. It is not enough just to work the muscles; you need to work your internal organs for real health and longevity. Fortunately, it only requires a few minutes per day when you know what you are doing and you will know what you are doing after viewing Steve’s section.

Mike Mahler: Power Kettlebell Training And Optimizing Hormones

If you want to train with heavy kettlebells in the most efficient manner possible, then you will benefit greatly from my section on power kettlebell training. Learn how to ramp up your kettlebell military press numbers dramatically. If you are stuck at three reps now with a 70lb bell, you will get to six reps or more after you master these non-tension techniques. You will also learn how to use the one-arm snatch to master the double snatch, an extremely effective alternative to the kettlebell front squat for blasting the quads and glutes, and much more. In addition to my kettlebell section, you will be watching my section on optimizing sex hormones multiple times. Optimizing hormones is one of the most important things that you can do to maximize your training regimen. More importantly, it is a critical factor in your health, sex drive, and overall well-being.

Steve Maxwell: Joint Mobility And Kettlebell Core Training

After you watch Steve’s section you will understand clearly why you must add joint mobility exercises to your routine. Steve refers to joint mobility drills as the fountain of youth and he has the results to back it up. A crucial part of Steve’s anti-aging regimen is his joint mobility routine and no one teaches joint mobility better than Steve. Steve’s joint mobility section is the best that I have ever seen period on any DVD. You will never need to purchase another DVD on joint mobility. If you have any physical pain at all then you will benefit immensely from Steve’s joint mobility section. If you want to recover from your workouts faster than ever, then you need Steve’s joint mobility section. More importantly if you want to prevent future aches and pains, then you need to be proactive and add Steve’s joint mobility routine to your program now. In addition to Steve’s incredible joint mobility section, Steve goes over an array of bodyweight exercises and kettlebell exercises for the core. Why should you take Steve’s core advice? Steve is ripped to the bone with a super strong midsection and lower back. It is generally a good idea to take advice from trainers that have achieved the results you desire.

Nate Morrison: Performance Breathing For Kettlebells And Beyond

You will never take breathing for granted ever again after checking out Nate Morrison’s detailed section on performance breathing. More important than what Nate is teaching is where he has tested what he has learned. Nate Morrison has been a member of USAF Para-rescue and Special Tactics teams for the last thirteen years. Nate covers in detail how to use breathing to boost your endurance big time and how to use breathing to cut your recovery time. You need to master breathing in order to master any exercise or form of exercise. You will never be the best you can be with mediocre breathing skills. Most people do not know how to breathe while sitting still in a chair let alone while performing intense exercise. After watching Nate’s section you will know exactly what breathing method to use to enhance whatever exercise program you are on.
