[1] You can develop a fair amount of muscle from “just” power training
[2] You can get stronger from “just” power training
[3] Power training improves carbohydrate utilization and improves your health
Power is typically developed with lower reps, and higher sets, in a range of about 30-40% of your bodyweight for Swings, and, if memory serves me correctly, about 26-32% of bodyweight for Snatches.
[1] The one that easily fits into your schedule
[2] You won’t rationalize not doing
[3] You’d feel foolish for not doing it
[4] Leaves you with more energy than you had
[5] Is repeatable
[6] Creates a “reservoir” of energy inside you so you WANT to do more
[7] Produces results
One of the smartest things you can do to “regain your manhood” is to AGGRESSIVELY take charge of your health, and get rid of that stomach fat - PRONTO. P.S. For a limited time only, you can now get Kettlebell Burn 2.0 at a 42% discount. 👉 https://go.chasingstrength.com/burn-sa3/
One of the simplest applications of this principle is simply changing how you perform a particular exercise. If you’ve been frustrated by your lack of progress, like variety, and are ready to see results, I think you’ll like my newest program. Grab your copy and start seeing the results you deserve from your KB workouts. 👉 https://go.chasingstrength.com/kettlebell-maximorum-e/
So one of the simplest ways to get stronger (along with lifting more) is learning which muscles to contract… How hard to contract them… And when to contract them…
While of course being in and maintaining the optimum position to Press. Strength, after all, is a skill.

Metabolic stress manifests as a result of exercise that relies on anaerobic glycolysis for ATP production, which results in the subsequent buildup of metabolites such as lactate, hydrogen ion, inorganic phosphate, creatine, and others (169,178). Muscle ischemia also has been shown to produce substantial metabolic stress, and potentially produces an additive hypertrophic effect when combined with glycolytic training (136,182).
It is a major training variable around which most people over 30, and especially over 40 and 50, would be smart to organize their training.
And that means some days, your KB(s) feel(s) light and your workout easy. Other days, it’s the opposite - you feel like a giant foot is grinding you into the earth, like a cigarette butt.
You’d be a Beast if you could use a pair of 40s (2x40kg) and a single 40kg.
Admittedly, this may look like a lofty - near impossible goal from where you stand.
And that’s ok. If you need a program to help you do that, use this one.

“It has been said that a properly executed kettlebell swing is better than 99% of all strength and conditioning exercises. I respectfully disagree. I believe it is better than 100% of all the strength and conditioning exercises - at least for 99% of all people.”
