One final reminder:

I still have my 8-Minute Hip Fix plus ReHab Revolution running as a two-for-one deal. I was out of town over the weekend, and I know a lot of folks missed it, so I’m keeping it live for one more day. Both programs are just $15, and then it’s gone:

-> Final Call: 8-min Hip Fix + KB PreHab 2-for-1

Now, a Quick story:

My daughters are getting a little older and are really into softball right now.

I only played baseball through middle school. Then, in high school, I focused on football and track. But I still want to assist however I can, so I’ve been helping coach both teams.

And after the first whole week of multiple practices and games about three months ago, I found myself stiff and tight, not moving the way I wanted to.

I typically prioritize strength, so I have more than enough bandwidth there. My cardio stays decent between a couple of kettlebell sessions per week and a couple of rucks/hikes/runs. The gap was when I realized I was not doing enough specific mobility work for my needs.

So I built the 8-Minute Hip Fix and PreHab Revolution – because even a few focused minutes a day can make a massive difference.

After doing the program for a week, I could already feel the difference in how I was moving and feeling.

If YOUR hips feel tight, your back aches more than it used to, or you want to move better and feel younger, this bundle is for you:

-> Final Call: 8-min Hip Fix + KB PreHab 2-for-1

Here’s what you’ll get:

• 8-Minute Hip Fix – Simple, daily follow-along routines to unlock tight hips in under 10 minutes.
• PreHab Revolution – A 4-week plan to restore mobility and rebuild pain-free movement in your hips, knees, and back.

…and it’s your last shot to get both for this price!

“Powerbuilding” is all about getting strong AND adding lean muscle, all at the same time. Traditionally, it combines the best of both the powerlifting and bodybuilding worlds for the best results.

This got me thinking—could we create a powerbuilding-style program using kettlebells ONLY? Traditionally, you would focus on squatting, benching, and deadlifting, then add bodybuilding-style exercises on top of that. But what if we replaced those traditional movements with kettlebell exercises?

This way, you can achieve the same results at home, in less time, and with the joint-sparing benefits of kettlebells.

Back when I was playing pro football, training was all about power, speed, and raw strength.

But when my football career ended, my training had to evolve. Because I wasn’t just preparing for a game anymore—I was training for life.

That’s when ​kettlebells​ changed everything for me.

I needed something that would keep me strong, athletic, and resilient, but also efficient—because between building a business, raising a family, and staying in peak shape, I didn’t have time to waste.

​Kettlebell training​ became my go-to, and over the years, I refined it into something more than just a workout. It became a system—one that helps people over 40 build serious strength, torch fat, and improve mobility, all in 20-30 minutes, 3-4 days per week.

One of the best ways I’ve found to track progress? 300-rep challenge workouts like this one.

This is a sample straight from Ares’ Battlefield Trial, part of my ​Olympus Gainz Kettlebell program​. We do workouts like this regularly, using them as a benchmark to measure strength, endurance, and grit in a fun (but brutal) way.

If you’re ready to see where you stand, give this a shot:

Ares’ Battlefield Trial” – 300 Rep KB Challenge

Tier 1 (Beginners)

6 Rounds for Time

• 5 one-arm kettlebell clean and squat (per side)
• 5 single-arm kettlebell press (per side) – Recommended weight: Women: 8kg+ / Men: 16kg+
• 5 per side stepping kettlebell swing – Recommended weight: Women: 16kg+ / Men: 24kg+
• 10 plank with reach
• 5 one-arm kettlebell racked rear lunges (per side) – Recommended weight: Women: 12kg / Men: 20kg

Tier 2 (Intermediate/Advanced)

5 Rounds for Time

• 5 one-arm kettlebell clean and squat (per side)
• 5 bottoms-up kettlebell press (per side) – Recommended weight: Women: 8kg+ / Men: 12kg+
• 10 per side stepping kettlebell swing – Recommended weight: Women: 16kg+ / Men: 24kg+
• 10 plank to push-ups
• 5 one-arm kettlebell racked rear lunges (per side)

These 300-rep challenges push your endurance, strength, and mental toughness while giving you a measurable way to track progress. Every few weeks, we revisit workouts like this to see how much stronger and more conditioned you’ve become.

If you’re a trainer or coach, this is exactly the kind of structured programming you need to keep your clients progressing for months to come.

Check out the ​Olympus Gainz Kettlebell Bundle​—it’s loaded with workouts, programming strategies, and unique challenges to keep your clients engaged, getting stronger, and coming back for more.

Ever wonder what it takes to build the raw power, endurance, and resilience of a true warrior?

In ancient mythology, Hercules was known for his unmatched strength and relentless willpower. He faced impossible trials, pushed through brutal challenges, and proved his dominance time and time again.

This workout is inspired by that legendary grit.

No wasted effort. No fluff. Just sheer power, endurance, and mental fortitude.

How Hercules Would Have Trained

— Strength and Power – He would have lifted heavy objects, carried beasts, and gripped unbreakable chains to forge superhuman power.

— Endurance and Stamina – His battles lasted hours, requiring lungs of steel and an engine that never quit.

— Agility and Speed – Whether dodging strikes or overpowering foes, Hercules had to be both quick and devastating.

— Mental Toughness – He endured pain, exhaustion, and near-impossible tasks—but never backed down.

These are the same elements you need to dominate your training and build a body that won’t break. And I have just the workout to help you do it:

Hercules’ Final Stand Workout

This challenge is built to test your strength, endurance, and conditioning—pushing your limits just like Hercules himself:

Part 1 – Strength Ladder

Perform the pair of exercises below in a ladder format:

— 3 lunges / 1 chin-up or 5-second chin hold or 3 rows
— 6 lunges / 2 chins or 10-second chin hold or 6 rows
— 9 lunges / 3 chins or 15-second chin hold or 9 rows

Repeat from the start for 8 to 10 minutes—aim for at least two full rounds.

Part 2 – Circuit Training for Strength and Conditioning

Complete four rounds of the following circuit. Work for 45 seconds per exercise, then rest one minute between rounds.

Movements:

— Single-arm kettlebell swings (45 seconds per side) (12-16kg for women, 20-24kg for men)
— Body saw
— Kettlebell side lunges (45 seconds per side) (8-12kg for women, 16-20kg for men)
— High knees in place (max effort)

Part 3 – Hercules’ Gauntlet

Set a timer for 8 minutes and complete as many rounds as possible of:

— Kettlebell halos with tricep extension – 5 reps per side (8-12kg for women, 16-20kg for men)
— Plank-to-push-up – 5 reps per side

Only the strongest will make it through Hercules’ Final Stand.

We had an awesome Super Bowl Training Camp Workout this morning at my studio!

Everyone loved it—it was fun, challenging, and different from what they were used to.

Now, I wanted to share this workout with you so you can get in a killer session, burn some serious calories, and have a little fun before the big game.

Go Chiefs!

-> 28-day Kettlebell EDT Drop-a-Size Challenge – Starts Monday, February 10th

Super Bowl Training Camp Workout

Dynamic Warm-Up (30 seconds per move, no rest)

This is the type of warm-up we’d do before speed, agility, or practice sessions:

• jog in place / high knees / butt kicks
• bodyweight squats
• single leg deadlifts
• hurdle walks
• quad / opp arm reaches

Part 1: Strength & Power

In football strength workouts, we’d typically start with a big explosive movement first, so that’s how we kicked this off.

4 Rounds – 30 seconds work / 15 seconds rest

• Kettlebell Deadlifts
• Kettlebell Horn-Grip Cleans
• Kettlebell Squat Cleans
• Plank Series (Plank → Low Plank → High to Low Plank)

Part 2: Leg Circuit (Modified from Green Bay Training)

This was inspired by a brutal leg conditioning circuit I did with the Green Bay Packers.

30 seconds work / 15 seconds rest per move

• Bodyweight Squats
• Alternating Reverse Lunges
• Squat Jumps

Part 3: Classic Football Conditioning Drill

A high-energy footwork drill we used to do in training camp.

30 seconds work / 30 seconds rest

1. Quick feet chop → I call “Drop!” → Push-ups until I call “Pop!”
2. Back to quick feet chop → repeat

Part 4: Abs Finisher (Inspired by My College Training Days)

Back at UC Davis, we had a Sacramento Kings coach come train us with a brutal abs routine. Here’s a quick taste.

30 seconds work / 15 seconds rest

• Negative Sit-ups
• Alternating Leg Drops

We wrapped up with a cool-down stretch to hit all the major muscle groups.

Give this a go before the Super Bowl, torch some calories, and let’s go Chiefs!
