my 5 Top KB Swing Hacks (list inside)

On By adminIn Tips and TricksLeave a comment

One thing that’s generated a lot of interest in 2026 so far is coaching people on the basics of safe and effective kettlebell training.

Kettlebells are incredible tools — fat loss, improved health markers, lean muscle, stamina, mobility, and flexibility.

But you do want to understand the basics of training with them safely and effectively, both to get the most out of your sessions and to avoid injury.

Here’s the thing: whether someone has been training with kettlebells for years or has never picked one up, I always start them in the same place — the swing.

The swing is the foundation. It’s the movement that underlies all the other ballistic kettlebell lifts — cleans, snatches, you name it. Get your swing dialed in, and everything else becomes easier to learn.

So here’s the exact progression I use with new clients:

—–

If you want to go deeper, I have a full one-hour kettlebell swing workshop where I walk through all of this and more — it’s essentially a personal training session with me, on video. It was recorded live over Zoom, so you get to see real-time coaching, real questions, and real corrections. That workshop is included as a bonus in the Kettlebell 500 Protocol — 28 Day Challenge — and honestly, the cost of the challenge alone is probably worth it.

→ Kettlebell 500 Protocol — 28 Day Challenge 

—–

  1. Face-the-Wall Squat

Grab your kettlebell, place it a couple of inches from the wall, and face toward the wall. Your goal eventually is to squat with your toes touching the wall — but start with your feet a couple of feet back. The bell goes between your feet. Focus on staying upright, shoulders back, no twisting or collapsing forward. Do a few reps.

  1. Face-Away-from-Wall Hip Hinge

Now turn around. Step a bit further from the wall and face away from it. Same setup — bell between your feet. This time you’re hinging at the hips, pushing your butt back toward the wall until you tap it, then standing back up. Stand far enough that you really have to reach those hips back — you should feel a solid stretch in your hamstrings. A few reps here.

  1. Deadlifts (No Wall)

Come away from the wall and repeat the same hip hinge movement — just you and the bell now, in open space. Clean this up, own the pattern.

  1. Half Swings

Step back from the bell so it’s slightly in front of your feet. Hike it back like a football snap, then drive your hips through. That’s the focus — the hip snap. Let the bell float up (maybe waist height), but don’t worry about how high it goes. This is not an arm lift. Just hips.

  1. Full Swings

Same movement, just snap those hips a little harder and let the bell travel higher. From here, you’re swinging.

—–

Now, this is the clean version of the progression. In reality, we often add in drills along the way — towel swings to take the arms out of it, band work to reinforce the hike pass, glute bridges to wake up the glutes. It’s rare that someone has a perfect swing right out of the gate.

If you want to go deeper, I have a full one-hour kettlebell swing workshop where I walk through all of this and more — it’s essentially a personal training session with me, on video. It was recorded live over Zoom, so you get to see real-time coaching, real questions, and real corrections. This is the kind of session I typically charge a few hundred dollars for as part of one of my monthly coaching programs.

That workshop is included as a bonus in the Kettlebell 500 Protocol — 28 Day Challenge — and honestly, the cost of the challenge alone is probably worth it.

→ Kettlebell 500 Protocol — 28 Day Challenge 

If you want to work with me one-on-one, in person or over Zoom, I do offer individual training sessions — but they come at a higher cost since it’s my direct time.

But whether you sign up or not, I hope this progression gives you something useful to work with.

Let’s make it a great week!

“Steel Mace Sunday” (sample workout inside)

On By adminIn General, Tips and TricksLeave a comment

Happy Sunday!

One of my favorite parts of my morning routine is when I have the time to do some steel mace work.

This is why our 28-Day Steel Mace Flow Challenge starts tomorrow, and I wanted to give you a taste of exactly what it looks like.

Now, a 7 or 10-pound steel mace works great for this. If you’re brand new and don’t have one yet, even a broomstick can offer surprising benefits for practicing movements and building mobility.

Two Ways to Run the Challenge

Option 1 — Add-On Format

One session per day, done first thing in the morning, tacked onto the end of your existing workouts, etc. Each session runs 5–10 minutes. Train 6 days per week, rest on Day 7. This keeps your current strength training intact while layering in rotational strength, shoulder stability, and conditioning.

Option 2 — Standalone Format

Two sessions back-to-back, 3 days per week (Monday, Wednesday, Friday). Total session time is 20–30 minutes. This is a dedicated steel mace training block — one tool, one focus, all 28 days.

Here’s a Sample — Days 1 & 2

Day 1 — Lower/Core Focus

30 seconds work / 15 seconds rest — 3 to 5 rounds

  • Hinge Rotate Press (Right)
  • Hinge Rotate Press (Left)
  • Reverse Mace Lunge (Right)
  • Reverse Mace Lunge (Left)

Do this as a finisher on its own, OR combine it with Day 2 for a full standalone session:

Day 2 — Upper Focus (EMOM)

6–10 minutes, every minute on the minute:

  • Minute 1: 12 Steel Mace 360s per side
  • Minute 2: 7 Burpees

Alternate back and forth for the full duration.

The full 28-Day Steel Mace Flow Challenge kicks off tomorrow, Monday, March 2nd, and you can still jump in and do it live with us.

(That was the backdrop while my flight was delayed last night, lol)

However, my flight got delayed, I got home at 430am, and now I have a full day of family stuff ahead.

Honestly? I’m a little tired.

Here’s a little sample of how we finish off one of the workouts in week one of the program:

Kettlebell Bear Complex

This is a kettlebell version of the classic barbell “bear” complex. Some people call it the Russian Bear. Either way, it’s a classic for a reason.

Here’s how it works:

With one bell (or two), you’ll do:

  • Do 1 rep of each, one move after the other, “complex” style – Clean + Rack Squat + Push Press + Rack Squat + Push Press
  • Repeat 5 times
  • (if single ‘bell) – repeat on side #2; rest 60-90 seconds
  • (if double ‘bells) – rest 60-90 seconds

—– then repeat the full sequence for 5 rounds total.

ALSO – your goal, if possible, is to build the weight up across your rounds. Start lighter in the first couple of rounds, go heavier in the middle, and hit your target weight on the last round.

That’s just one small taste of what’s inside the Kettlebell 500 Protocol.

506 cal kettlebell workout

On By adminIn Kettlebell WorkoutsLeave a comment

Did you know there are about 3,500 calories in one pound of body fat?

That means if you want to lose one pound of fat, you need to create a 3,500-calorie deficit.

When people first hear that, their mind typically goes straight to diet — and yes, nutrition has a big impact on fat loss, without question. That’s why with my Kettlebell 500 Protocol 28-Day Fat Loss Challenge, I give you a simple meal plan that will help you lose up to a clothing size in 28 days without having to skip your favorite foods.

That said, calorie burn through movement is also a real thing.

If I’m trying to cut weight to hit a certain weight class for a kettlebell certification, or maybe there’s a challenge at the gym where you get ranked and earn more points by lifting more and weighing less, I’m looking at both intake and expenditure.

And you can pretty easily burn 500 calories in a kettlebell workout.

Yesterday, for example, I had a client in my studio. We were going through a kettlebell complex, and in 14 minutes, he was absolutely smoked. He went outside, took a walk, came back, and tried to go in the wrong door.

Here’s the exact complex we were doing:

Every 2 minutes, complete the following on one side:

  • Turkish get-up (floor to standing)
  • 5 clean & presses
  • 5 snatches
  • Turkish get-down

Then repeat on the other side. That’s one round.

Let’s do the math. Seven rounds of that complex is about 14 minutes — roughly 280 calories.

Then – if you want to hit your 506 Calorie total:

  • You finish with a 7-minute burpee/squat/swing ladder: 1 burpee, 2 squats, 3 swings, then 2 burpees, 4 squats, 6 swings, and so on. That’s another 126 calories.
  • Add a 5-minute warm-up and 5-minute cool-down and you’re looking at about 100 more.
  • Total: roughly 506 calories in just over 30 minutes.

(And don’t worry if Turkish get-ups aren’t in your wheelhouse yet — inside the challenge, I give you modifications and alternative exercises so you can get after it regardless of where you’re starting.)

According to an ACE study, kettlebells can burn up to 20 calories per minute — so the numbers above are well within reach. The point is, you can do a lot in a short amount of time if you know what you’re doing.

That’s exactly what we’re building with the upcoming Kettlebell 500 Protocol.

It uses a combination of three things:

  • 500-calorie kettlebell workouts
  • The “500 Engine” Protocol — which helps you burn 500 calories on your off days through low-intensity cardio, high-intensity cardio, or a variety of other options I give you
  • The “500 Cut” Protocol — an easy way to cut 500 calories out of your diet every day

Combine all three, and the goal is to create a 1,000-calorie daily deficit and lose 8 to 10 pounds over 28 days.

We start in just over a week — but if you want the best price, now is the time. The price bumps tomorrow morning.

20-30 Min, 500(ish)-Calorie KB Complex Workout

On By adminIn Kettlebell WorkoutsLeave a comment

Kettlebells are among the most efficient fat-loss tools on the planet.

An ACE study showed kettlebell training can burn up to 20 calories per minute, so in 20 to 30 minutes, you can burn (on average) 500 calories, all without pounding your joints.

All you need is a kettlebell or two and a small space — your garage, your bedroom, your backyard — it doesn’t matter.

Here’s what that could actually look like in practice:

#

20-30 Min, 500(ish)-Calorie KB Complex Workout

(start with a targeted warm-up/movement prep routine, then)

1 – Clean KB to the right rack position.

2 – Do 5 presses.

3 – Transition DIRECTLY into 10 KB rack squats on the same side.

4 – Transition DIRECTLY into 15 one-arm KB rows on the same side.

5 – Switch hands; repeat on the other side.

6 – Once all reps are completed on both sides, do 5 burpees (jump back or step back; hands on floor or elevated; push up or not – pick the variation that works for you)

7 – Rest 60-90 seconds.

8 – Repeat for four rounds total.

(then, finish with)

Set your timer for 10 minutes. At the top of each minute, do 15 KB swings. Minutes 1,4,7, and 10, do two-hand swings. Minutes 2, 5, and 8 are one-arm swings. Minutes 3,6, and 9 are hand-to-hand swings.

DONE!

If you’re looking for a straightforward way to lose body fat and gain lean muscle… do it with short, effective, and joint-friendly kettlebell-based workouts… WITHOUT having to be hungry all day long or cut out every food you enjoy, my new “Kettlebell 500″ Protocol could be right up your alley.

Here’s the big idea:

Every day for 28 days, we create a 500-calorie “swing” (no pun intended, lol) in your favor. These 500-calorie swings add up so that most people can lose about 2 pounds a week, which, for most people, amounts to about a full clothing size difference over 28 days.

Here’s how we do it:

1 — 500-Calorie Kettlebell Workouts

Kettlebells are among the most efficient fat-loss tools on the planet. An ACE study showed kettlebell training can burn up to 20 calories per minute, so in 20 to 30 minutes, you can burn (on average) 500 calories plus – all without pounding your joints. All you need is a kettlebell or two and a small space — your garage, your bedroom, your backyard — it doesn’t matter.

2 — 500-Calorie “Engine Builders”

On non-kettlebell days, we do our 500 “Engine Builder” protocol. There are various options for these. If you want to go lower-impact, I’ll give you options like walking or rucking. If you want something more dynamic or higher intensity, I’ll give you things like sprint intervals. The big idea is that we burn an extra 500 calories EVERY DAY through activity.

3 — The “500 Cut” Nutrition Method

This is the method I typically use with my personal training clients when they first come to me with a fat loss goal. This is the part many people struggle with, so it is the easiest starting point. We figure out a simple way for you to cut 500 calories a day from what you’re currently doing, which, for most people, isn’t that hard when we go through my “Diet Audit” process. It’s not a crash diet. You don’t have to track every calorie. You don’t have to eliminate everything you enjoy. This is a guide you get with the challenge, and I’ll also go over it with you individually on the kickoff call before the challenge starts.

So if you’re interested, we’re getting this rolling right now before it goes public. You can get it at founder pricing. There’s no long sales page yet — it’s coming very soon as we ramp this up — but if you’re like, “This is for me, I know I need to do this,” click the link below. (It goes straight to a checkout page):

-> the “Kettlebell 500” Protocol​

This is the lowest price it will ever be, because you are signing up at “pre-sale” pricing. I’ll be talking about it more soon, and the price will increase. If you have any questions, just reply to this email.

10-Minute KB Iso Circuit

On By adminIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

Centuries ago, ancient warriors and martial artists harnessed the power of asymmetric loading and isometric tension to build incredible strength and resilience — without destroying their joints.

These methods emphasized control, stability, breath, and total-body tension.

Today, those “old school” principles are making a serious comeback.

Trainers, athletes, and high-performers over 40 are rediscovering isometrics for:

  • Greater muscle activation
  • Stronger joint integrity
  • Increased tendon resilience
  • Real-world, functional strength

And when you combine isometrics with kettlebell training?

That’s where things get interesting.

The kettlebell’s offset load forces your body to stabilize in ways a barbell or machine simply can’t. Swings, cleans, presses, squats, lunges — they all demand coordination and tension.

Then, isometrics take that tension and amplify it.

An isometric is simply a muscle contraction without visible joint movement. Think plank holds, wall sits, pushing into an immovable object, or holding the bottom of a squat.

Inside my Kettlebell Isometric System, I show you exactly how to combine dynamic kettlebell work with strategic isometric holds so you get the best of both worlds:

-> Kettlebell Isometrics 2.0

Below is a sample 10-minute KB Iso Circuit you can try right away:

Part 1

Set a timer: 45 seconds work / 15 seconds rest.

A1: Double or Single Kettlebell Squats
– 45 seconds work
– 15 seconds rest

A2: Side Plank with Hip Lift Hold
– 22 seconds per side
– 15 seconds rest

Repeat for 3 rounds.

Part 2 – 10-Minute Density Finisher

Set a 10-minute timer. Complete as many quality rounds as possible:

  • 5 Goblet Lunges per side
  • 10 Squat Jumps
  • 10 Two-Hand Kettlebell Swings
  • 30-Second Low Squat Isometric Hold
    (Add a kettlebell in the goblet position for extra resistance if you want to level it up.)

#

And this is just a small taste.

The full program is a structured 4-week progression.

You get:

  • Kettlebell Isometric 1.0
  • Kettlebell Isometric 2.0 (advanced progressions and variations)
  • Ageless Warrior Kettlebell GAINZ Program to transition into after you finish — so you can build lean muscle using joint-friendly loading

If you’re 40+ and still want to train hard without feeling wrecked…

This is the system.

“The Berserker” – 5 Min Mace / KB Finisher

On By adminIn General, Tips and TricksLeave a comment

You lift. You show up. You work harder than 90% of the people you know.

But there’s still a layer of fat sitting over your muscle that won’t budge.

And deep down, it drives you crazy.

Because you’re doing a lot right right!

But when you take your shirt off — or catch yourself in a mirror — it’s still there.

Soft around the middle, and blurring the definition you’ve worked hard to build.

And the worst part?

You have a good idea why:

You’re not getting your conditioning in.

Not really.

Maybe you run occasionally. Maybe you throw in a metcon every few weeks. But the consistent, regular conditioning work that actually strips the fat off your hard-earned muscle?

It’s not happening.

And it’s not happening because every format you’ve tried either wrecks your joints, eats into your recovery, or requires you to completely overhaul the training you actually love.

So you keep lifting. You keep eating well. And that layer stays right where it is.

I want to show you something today that changed this for me — and for a lot of the guys I train.

This is a 5-minute steel mace (or kettlebell) Finisher that you can take on to the end of whatever you’re already doing.

It’s just one move – but it gives you an idea of why this type of training is so unique and effective.

It’s the exact approach we use in my 28-day Mace Burn Challenge.

And it hits your conditioning hard enough that your body starts responding in ways that longer, slower cardio never delivered.

#

“The Berserker” – 5 Min Mace / KB Finisher

This is a compound movement that chains a full rotational swing into a deep loaded squat and cross-body reach. Every major muscle group fires at once. Your heart rate spikes. Your core works overtime.

Done for a few rounds at the end of your workout, it creates the kind of metabolic disturbance that burns fat for hours after you’re done — not just during the 5 minutes you’re working.

How to do it:

Start standing, feet shoulder width, mace held at the base of the handle with both hands close together.

Step 1 — Perform a mace 360.

Step 2 — As the mace returns to the front, flow directly into a squat. At the bottom, reach the mace head down and across your body to touch your opposite foot. Swing right, touch left foot.

Step 3 — Drive back up to standing. That’s one rep.

Do 5 reps per side every minute, on the minute, for 5 minutes.

Can you do it with a kettlebell?

Yes — hold it by the horns and mimic the circular swing before dropping into the squat and touch.

But the mace is genuinely better here. The offset weight creates real rotational load through the full arc — your core, shoulders, and grip are fighting to control it the entire time.

#

Give this a try, and you will see the power of the steel mace for rapid conditioning and fat burning, instantly!

Then go check out my 28-day Mace Burn Challenge HERE.

Kettlebell Arm Bar (plus last call for 8-Minute Fix)

Today is the last call for the offer where you get any 8-Minute Fix course free when you pick up my REGENERATE 3–6 minute per day recovery system for lifters and athletes.

If you’ve been meaning to grab it, this is it.

-> Learn more here

Now — quick piece of shoulder content for you.

The kettlebell arm bar is one of the first exercises I recommend for people looking to improve shoulder mobility and stability simultaneously.

It’s simple, but incredibly effective.

Some of the benefits:

• Improved rib cage mobility
• Better thoracic spine rotation
• Loosens up tight pecs
• Opens the fascial line between the pec and opposite hip
• Helps build healthier, more resilient shoulders

Here’s how to do it:

Start lying on your back with a kettlebell at your side at shoulder level — in what we call the “cradle” position (similar to the start of a Turkish get-up).

Pull the kettlebell to your chest, roll onto your back, and press the working arm to lockout.

Make sure to pack the shoulder down and back for stability.

Now take the same-side leg (same side as the working arm) and drive it over the top of your body. Let that hip rotate toward the ground as your shoulder stays packed and stable.

Breathe in.

On each exhale, gently drive the hip and shoulder slightly closer to the floor.

Do this for 3–5 slow breaths, progressively easing into the position.

This one move alone can dramatically improve how your shoulders feel under load.

I break down this exercise step by step in my 8-Minute Shoulder Fix program.

And remember—you can get that free (or any other 8-Minute Pain Fix course of your choice) when you purchase REGENERATE today.
