ATTENTION: For Kettlebell Lifters Who Thrive On ‘Next Level’ Physical & Mental Challenges

The Soviet Special Forces - Spetsnaz - forged their wiry physiques and their “no quit conditioning” from multiple 20 to 30 rep sets of [snatches and] double kettlebell clean and jerks. 

Russian, and other Eastern European Brazilian Jiu Jitsu clubs reportedly include a 20 rep set of the C+J using a pair of 32kg as a right of passage to earn their black belt.

And powerlifting world champion, Donnie Thompson (the first man to total 3000lbs in 3 lifts), used the long cycle to pack on 15 pounds of muscle on an already overly developed frame.

Hard men (and women) “in the know” select this tough-as-nails exercise to test, develop, and refine their mettle.

Truth be told, in recent years, I’ve held back from extolling the virtues of the repetitive double kettlebell (long cycle) clean and jerk to help guys (and gals) get “quick wins” in strength, hypertrophy, and stamina (and even fat loss) using the clean and press.

In a recent email exchange, a close friend, (and probably the most well-known kettlebell expert on the planet, whose name I will not drop), was shocked that I did NOT include the double kettlebell Clean + Jerk in my top 5 list of kettlebell exercises.

My reason, I told him, was simple:

Most people - probably 99% - don’t have the patience or desire to throw off their physical restrictions and limitations that the modern western sedentary lifestyle has imposed upon them so they can perform the Jerk properly.

And that got me to thinking...

What about that other 1%?

Those men and women who demand more from themselves? 

Who are constantly looking for a physical challenge?

What about people who DO want to aggressively recapture lost mobility so they can drink from the fountain of exercise cruelty that is the long cycle clean + jerk?

Is that you?

If so, then keep reading, because today is your day - this is for you.

Other than being a part of this elite group...

[1]  The Right Learning Sequence

For example: There are 3 “D’s” that make up the Jerk - 

1. The Dip - the quick knee bend to load the legs.

2. The Drive - the quick reversal to thrust the kettlebells off the shoulders and get them airborne.

3. The Drop (not “Dip” - it has to be aggressive!) - the quick reversal of the body down and under the kettlebells, catching them overhead at arms length.

And there are specialized drills to learning each one of the D’s. 

Sure, on the surface, the first two D’s may appear easy.

However, if you use the wrong cues, and many people do -

(Like “hinging” into the Dip…)

You screw up the trajectory of the “drive,” which although recoverable with lighter bells…

Becomes practically impossible with heavier ones, practically guaranteeing you’ll injure your shoulders or lower back.

Ignore this at your own peril.

[2]  The Right Restoration Exercises, In the Right Order.

Most Westerners can’t Jerk because they have immobile thoracic spines (middle and upper backs) and “sloppy” shoulders - 

Shoulders that have limited range of overhead motion.

They also have weak abs, tight hips, and fragile lower backs.

So, they need to do specialized restoration exercises in a certain order to get their bodies to work correctly again.

I’ll show you which ones and exactly how to do them.

[3]  The Right Programming.

Most people make the mistake of going for endurance first.

There’s a correct order to train your Clean + Jerks in, and it doesn’t start with light weight and high(er) reps.

And that’s because with lighter weight, you can, and most likely will, “muscle” the weight up.

You need to use the correct size of kettlebells and program your body to “break in” to the C+J, cement in proper technique, minimize fatigue, build your confidence, and then enlarge your capacity.

That’s why during this Black Friday Weekend, I’m releasing an updated version of:

Kettlebell RMF is:

Here’s what you’ll discover inside the video series:

Each video “chapter” has one or more videos, breaking down in specific detail, the exact steps to safely learning each component of each lift.

For example, here’s what’s inside the Clean:

… And much, much more.

There’s 2 hours and 10 minutes of videos, chiseled down to only the most relevant information to make you competent and confident in your clean and jerk technique -

Especially the jerk technique, which every person I’ve ever met struggles with.

PLUS...

Inside, you'll get immediate access to three different training programs. (Programs 1 and 3 are new.)

Here are their details:

And yes, each program can be repeated with a heavier set of kettlebells.

PLUS...

When you reserve your copy of Kettlebell RMF this weekend, you’ll also get the following bonus:

This video shows you how to improve your Jerk, by using this systematic 3-step sequence to correctly build a solid, stable, truly functional Hollow Hold position.

Here's what John Grahill and Hazen Alward said about the Kettlebell RMF program:

What kind of results can you expect? 

And how fast can you expect to see them? That all depends on you - your ability to learn, your training background, injury history, and your commitment to the program.

To date, everyone who's used Kettlebell RMF and reported back has reported improvements in strength, conditioning, body fat reduction, and muscularity.  

And I expect similar results for you too.

During this Black Friday Weekend, you can get the updated Kettlebell RMF at 50% off for a one-time only payment of just:

$99 $49.50

Test out these new drills and skills and the training plan of your choice. (I recommend the Novice version.) If you don’t see noticeable improvement in your ability to Clean and Jerk, and you don’t see and feel noticeable changes in your strength and physique within 60 days, just send me a copy of your training journal detailing the work you did, and I’ll happily refund you. Deal?

Q: Is this a digital product only, or will you be shipping a product to me in the mail? 

A: This is a digital product only. That means you get immediate access across multiple devices. This also means you can train anywhere, not just in front of your TV and DVD player. It also saves on shipping and handling and trees.

Q: What size kettlebells will I need for this?

A: I recommend training with multiple pairs - medium and heavy - 10RM and 5RM loads. Jerk technique is best acquired and mastered when there’s some load to push against, otherwise you’ll just “muscle” the weights up.

Q: How long before I can expect seeing results?

A: That depends on you, your training background, and your injury history. Some people see results immediately from doing the drills, and some take a little while longer. 

As far as the training programs, you’ll see results usually in your first 2-3 weeks.

Q: Do you recommend I do anything else along with the training programs?

A: Just mobility work and other restoration work like daily walks. There’s zero need to add other exercises because you’ll feel like you’ll be missing out on something. The long cycle is so demanding, you’ll walk away feeling like no muscle was unscathed. 

Q: What’s different between this version of Kettlebell RMF and the previous one?

A: The two extra training programs - the Novice and the Advanced. 

Thanks for reading this letter.

I'm looking forward to hearing how you conquered the Long Cycle Clean + Jerk.

Stay Strong,
