Nurse checking in here: this absolutely applies to me 100%. I need to keep my back intact and my strength optimally functional. I really appreciate your work as it feeds directly into my ability, quality, and longevity of caring for patients and even my family. Blessings Geoff!
It's funny how well this applies to my life right now. I'm finding my current journey with thru Maximorum with 28's tricky, as I could only do a 3RM for C&P. However, with adequate rest, I'm able to do each day as the program continues. We'll see how well hitting 4x is this weekend tho!! Also, my snatches increased by 20% week over week, and I'm not trying to push the intensity. Pretty cool way to work into being stronger!
This is exactly what I’ve been doing for the last couple of weeks…even up to 4 sessions per day. Got the idea from your Strength Shortcuts 2.0. Makes my energy levels so much higher for my family and job. Works perfectly with OS, crawling, and kettlebell work. By the way, I would love to see a video of you explaining your successes with crawling and short workouts throughout the day. Thanks for all you’re doing!!!!
Been adrenal fatigue for a long time due to indoor air pollution, now after a few items removed from bedroom, I do feel better, but still couldn't handle program like ladder or 10x10, just too much for me. This is an excellent advice and strategy~
Hey Geoff i was wondering if you could do a video on warm ups and stretching in general i have zero knowledge on these subjects and how to properly execute them like whens the best time warn up is obvious but stretching i guess is where i get confused
Hi Geoff, love your programmes. Please could you recommend one of your programmes that I could run two days a week, all year round, to fit around martial arts training three says a week? Thank you!
@thomasturnbull3742 - Thanks, Thomas. You could adjust 'THE GIANT,' "The King-Sized Killer," or even the "Strong!" program to 2x week, year round. Hope that helps.
Working on Maximorum, Week 2. Did day 2 today, Option C on the DFS. All good. Finished with 33 C&P and 66 DFS, 2x24kg, aged 55. 10 mins on the floor breathing for 'the last set', then got on with my day. All rests determined by diaphragmatic breathing. A lot of volume, I think, but I'm not trashed. It works.
Which of your programs would you recommend for someone who: - has always been in good shape - is still athletic (sprints, jumps, etc.) - works out 6 days a week and hikes/rucks 7 days - has no injuries - has great mobility - is pretty experienced with kettlebells, barbells (has not used one in a long time though), sandbags, and calisthenics - is in their early 40s but seems to be able to recover as well or better than when he was in his 20s and who has a full set of KBs from double 16s up to double 48s and wants to have a good mix of hinging, squatting, ballistic work, pressing, carrying, and some calisthenics basics plus cardio?
@jasonwelsh417 - Good question. All my program rec's are based on an individual's #1 goal. Then all other training is organized around that goal. If that "someone" is you, what's YOUR #1 goal?
@briancampbell5243 - For the first half, you should know and be comfortable performing the basic 6 single KB lifts: Swing, TGU, Goblet Squat, Clean, Press, and Snatch. For the second half, you should be familiar with the double KB exercises.

Got your hair done and upping your editing skills. Geoff is on a roll!😃
@stefanolsson230 - Ha! Too funny! You can thank my video editor for those skills. ;-]

@truebeliever8605 - Thanks for your input. I'll put those on the list.
I did just order your kettlebell wod book that helps me a decent amount. I guess jus a discussion of the dos an donts for longevity.

@@GeoffNeupert Probably to maintain my cardio and conditioning capacity while getting stronger
What are the skill requirements for this course?
