How to get STRONGER and MORE MUSCULAR while LOSING WEIGHT*…?

Seriously?

Most people typically don’t believe this is actually possible.

Deep down inside they HOPE / WISH it was possible…

But they don’t think it’s a realistic outcome based upon their experience.

Yet it is possible - I experienced it for the first time 30 years ago.

I cut 12 pounds (~5kg) in only 3 weeks for an Olympic Weightlifting meet, got ripped, and set PRs in the Snatch and the Clean + Jerk.

It’s just that most people -

[a] Have never done it

[b] Don’t know how to do it (or failed trying to do it)

[c] Don’t know anyone else who’s done it

So again, they just don’t think it’s possible.

Or, the caveat is -

It’s “only” for professional PED’s-using bodybuilders who workout 2 hours a day, 6 days a week.

Which is why I want to show you this email I got from Marco -

As you can see, in “just” 6 weeks, Marco reported that he -

[+] Lost inches in the right places (hips, belly, etc)

[+] Filled out nicely in the shoulders and arms even in a deficit

[+] His reps increased from 215 total… to 293… Almost 30% more volume (work performed)

In other words, Marco got -

[+] Stronger (30% increase in volume - did more work)

[+] Leaner (lost inches in hips, belly, etc)

[+] More muscular (shoulders and arms filled out nicely)

*LOSING WEIGHT = I know I’ve shunned this term lately, but it keeps showing up in my “support” inbox in the form of “how to” questions.

So did Marco actually “lose weight?”

Did the scale change?

I don’t know because he didn’t directly report it. I suspect he did.

But he did LOSE FAT - as evidenced by his smaller belly and hips.

And that’s what we want - to get rid of body fat.

So, if you want to experience a similar transformation to Marco…

And the pride and confidence that seems to magically come with it…

Follow these 3 Simple Steps:

STEP 1 - Lift Heavy For You
Use the slower kettlebell lifts:
Press, Double Press, Goblet Squat, Front Squat, Double Front Squat, TGU, etc.
Keep your reps between 1 and 5 per set

STEP 2 - Lift Explosively
Use the ballistic kettlebell lifts:
Swings, Cleans, Snatches, Push Presses, Jerks, etc.
Keep your reps between 5 and 10 per set

STEP 3 - Manage Fatigue
Notice I said “manage” - not avoid.

But don’t “chase” it either.

Your goal is not to exhaust yourself and end up in a puddle of your own sweat or a pile of vomit.

The best practice is to use autoregulation.

If you don’t want to build your own program around those steps, then do what Marco did and run Kettlebell MAXIMORUM.

I’ll leave a link to it in the video description below.

And yes, you can speed up your results by dialing in your nutrition, in case you’re wondering.

For the last 30 years I’ve advocated a “protein first” nutrition plan. So focus on getting approximately 1 gram per pound per day.

If you want a plan, inside “Kettlebell MAXIMORUM” I show you a near-painless way to get into a caloric deficit while managing your appetite.

Stay Strong,
Geoff
