Kettlebell Simple & Sinister

Total Training for the Advanced Minimalist You are strong or used to be. You take pride in your all-around physical development—but have precious little time for it. You are serving your country, raising a family, training for a sport… You have been around too long to be fooled by pop fitness "high intensity" fads. The Quick and the Dead is designed for an advanced minimalist like you. A culmination of five years of research and experimentation, it distills cutting-edge science to a straightforward protocol of only two basic exercises you mastered years ago: kettlebell swings and power pushups. Q&amp;D delivers. A highly ranked pro boxer sums up its effects: “I had even greater speed and explosiveness and I was able to maintain this for the whole match… I had gas to sell.” A military special operator, on the wrong side of 40, reports: “a speed increase in all my powerlifts… pain relief in all of my injuries… an increase in my endurance while doing combatives… increased striking power…” Q&amp;D can be a minimalist’s stand-alone total training regimen—or be plugged into any athlete’s regimen. It takes only 12–30min, two to three times per week. Additional benefits may include: Increased testosterone Decreased cortisol Improved heart rate variability Reduced body fat Improved soft tissue quality All this without getting "smoked"—because you need energy to fight, work, play, live.

The Quick and the Dead

Build yourself into a Ferrari with Prius mileage. Discover a method that makes the impossible come true. Born decades ago, in a country that no longer exists, AXE used to be the exclusive domain of Soviet athletic elites. At last, it is here to take you to the next level in your sport of choice-or simply get you in the best shape of your life, and maybe even add years to it. ü Build muscleü Boost powerü Lose fatü Multiply work capacityü Burst with energy The "A" in "AXE" stands for "aerobic." The "X" refers to type IIX fast muscle fibers. "E" is for "exercise." AXE will install aerobic power infrastructure in your fast fibers. While simultaneously making these fibers bigger and more powerful-the ancient conflict between strength and endurance finally resolved. With AXE, you will sprint faster and hit harder-over and over-while producing less soul- and performance-crushing lactic acid. Improve your health and boost your energy. A friend of the author, a military and federal law enforcement veteran who lived at the tip of the spear for four decades and has the mileage to show for it, said after starting AXE: "I feel 15-20 years younger."A Kettlebell Axe training session feels like a lumberjack's labor: powerful, unrushed, relentless.StrongFirst applied AXE to our go-to exercise, the kettlebell swing, and developed a bulletproof progression. Follow it two or three times a week and be unstoppable. Do it as standalone training-just add your favorite upper body work-or combine it with almost any athletic training.(Note: The AXE swing protocol is not for beginners and this book does not teach kettlebell skills. Start with Kettlebell Simple & Sinister.) Take a kettlebell AXE to your training and behold your power!
