What’s Next?

Click Image To Visit Site Have you ever wondered "what’s next?" as you’re finishing your current kettlebell training program?

If you’re like me, and 88.4% of my customer and subscriber base, then the chances are pretty good that you have. (I’ll tell you more about that in a minute…)



And that’s perfectly normal. Your brain is always “on” and searching for the next big thing, especially when it comes to achieving your goals. In fact, there’s a part of your brain called the Reticular Activating System and it’s designed to do just that.

According to a study done on a Harvard Law School class, 95% of the class didn’t have any predefined goals written down and only 5% of the graduates actually wrote down their goals. Thirty years later researchers followed up with the entire class and guess who had actually achieved their goals?

We all work out for one of four basic reasons, four basic goals – here they are. (You’ll recognize yourself in one of these 4.)

You see, each one of those four categories aren’t as specific as you think – they are really just ONE category –

At the end of the day, we both use our kettlebells because we want to feel better about ourselves. They provide us with a means to an end – to feel stronger on the inside – in other words, when we feel stronger, we feel happy.

And when we don’t feel happy, the frustration builds. Slowly… Until it sidetracks us and we’re nowhere near where we set out to be.

As I mentioned before, we are all motivated by one of four areas to use kettlebells. And interestingly enough – and most people don’t know this – that’s the exact way we should design our kettlebell workouts.

That’s right – our workouts should always cycle around getting stronger, looking better (that’s actually two categories – but more about that in a minute), performing better, and fixing any aches and pains (which we all have in some way, shape, or form).

And chances are, when you aren’t seeing the results you’re after, you’re on the wrong phase of this cycle. (Of course, it could also just be that your program design is all screwed up…)

In the simplest of terms, this means that you shouldn’t always be on a fat-burning program. Or a strength program. Or a muscle-building program. Or a pre-/rehab program.

Your body operates on cycles, and so does nature. And so should your kettlebell workouts. Just like your body and nature, each one of those cycles should help and build upon the other. Always.

And the best part is that when we apply that cycle to our kettlebell workouts, we will always make progress and always achieve our goals.

The problem is in knowing exactly how to do that without spending a lot of money on books, workouts, and other resources, and wasting a lot of time experimenting trying… Read more…

BJJ Conditioning – BJJ Workouts – Kettlebell Training

Let me give you a real quick introduction. My name is Jason C. Brown, I’m an internationally known kettlebell training expert and for the last 10-11 years I’ve specialized in helping BJJ, Judo players and MMA athletes just like you get the most out of their training and their bodies off and on the mat.



During this time I’ve coached around 97 professional and recreational BJJ players. What I’ve discovered from working with these athletes (probably people just like you) is that popular training and conditioning options they were using before working with me were NOT helping them be a better Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu player or athlete…(and in many cases it was actually making them worse.)

Here are the four main categories that I found. One-Bodybuilding (a.k.a. All show-no-go): This type of training has nothing to do with performance. I’m sure you’ve trained with this type of guy, he looks great with his shirt off, makes sure he walks around your academy bare-chested 97% of the time but once the rolling starts, his face turns beet red and he’s done before the timer hits the 2 minute mark. Sound familiar? The problem is big muscles don’t automatically translate to big throws. Two- 1000 reps per day club: I’m sure you’ve seen this program. Just pick obscure Indian exercises and perform them for upwards of 1000 repetitions per day….or until your shoulders and knees give out due to repetitive stress and monotony. While this type of training will condition you to do lots of push ups, I’ve seen plenty of people who train this way have their BJJ careers cut short due to shoulder and knee pain from worn out joints. Three- All-muscle-all-the-time: This is a very close cousin, maybe even a brother to Bodybuilding method. At least in the bodybuilding method most people will actually perform some light cardio and throw in a quick stretch prior to getting on the treadmill. Not so with the All-muscle-all-the-time methodology. I’m sure you’ve had the pleasure of training with guys that belong to this school. You can tell who they are simply because they kick you in the head while working on triangles and arm bars from the guard. No mobility training, no conditioning and no movement…just muscle. If you can defend for more than 30 seconds you’ll be fine. Four- “Just Roll Man”: BJJ alone is a great way to stay in shape but eventually you’ll need to add some additional training to support your body and make continual progress in BJJ. If all you do is more rolling, overuse injuries are sure to happen and you’ll be on the sideline or… Read more…
