For Serious Trainees Who Want Faster, More Noticeable Results From Their Kettlebell Training...
"How Family Men Over 35, 45, Even 55 Are Using Kettlebells To Build Muscle In Their Shoulders & Arms, Get 24% Stronger, And Strip Up To 1 Inch of Fat From Their Waists In Only 4 Weeks...
Without Dieting."
Would you like to "actually see fat coming of your torso?"
What about noticing your "chest and arms gain a lot of size"?
Or would you "settle" for your "T-shirt fibers... fighting for dear life across [your] shoulders and sleeves"?
That's a real post over on one of the largest threads on the StrongFirst forum. Look:
That's 159 pages, over 277,000 views, and over 3000 replies.
And there's a very good reason why this thread is so popular and I'll tell you about it in a minute...
But first...
I'm not sure you remember when kettlebells first hit the market back around 2000/2001...
One of their selling points was that you would -
"Watch in amazement as high-rep kettlebells let you hack the fat off your meat -- without the dishonor of aerobics and dieting..."
And that promise was through using high-rep Snatches and Clean & Jerks.
So what happened?
Why is it that so many people have failed to see the results they're looking for?
4 Words:
Swings And Get Ups
As someone who's been hoisting kettlebells since January of 2002 both with myself and with my clients, these 2 exercises are a double-edged sword.
Unlike the Russians, who apparently had lots of Physical Education interspersed throughout their school days, their American counterparts became stiff as boards and lost the use of their hips and shoulders.
And thus, the Swing and the Get Up became the substitute for the Snatch and the Clean & Jerk.
So the Swing and the Get Up, along with a whole host of weird mobility drills became the foundation for the modern kettlebell movement to the point where these two exercises have achieved [in my mind] an unwarranted near cult-like status.
10,000 Hours & School Lunch
'Mystery Meat'
Malcolm Gladwell, in his book, Outliers, wrote about the "10,000 Hour Rule," which is the necessity of practicing something for at least 10,000 hours to become proficient at it.
In the science of Motor Learning, it is also estimated that it takes approximately 10,000 reps of practicing a certain movement for it to become "autonomous" -
Near effortless and thoughtless.
While I agree we should all probably perform 10,000 Swings...
I also firmly believe that once we do, we should move on to more challenging and more powerful exercises if we can...
Exercises like the Snatch and the Clean & Jerk (and it's variations - the Clean & Press and the Clean & Push Press).
Why?
Simple.
Exercises like the Snatch and better yet, the Clean & Press/Push Press/Jerk produce a greater demand on the body for change, so they produce better all-round results.
In my experience, Swings are like school lunch "Mystery Meat" -
You know, the "meat loaf" served at school lunches that tasted like meat but you were never too sure...
Sure, it tasted fine, and filled you up, especially when paired with mashed potatoes and a couple of cartons of milk...
You could count on it, but if you had options, it wouldn't be your first choice...
Ok, perhaps I'm being a bit harsh.
How about this -
Swings and Get Ups are like a Wendy's Double Cheeseburger -
It looks great on the menu, smells good on your tray or in the bag, but when you open up the wrapper, it doesn't look exactly the same...
And although it certainly is tasty, it doesn't really satisfy.
The [Double] Clean and Press on the other hand is like -
A Bone In Tomahawk Ribeye
If you've never had one of these beauties, it's hard to describe what you're missing.
The meat, especially when cooked rare, is succulent and juicy, bubbling with flavor...
One of the most satisfying (and expensive!) steaks I've ever had.
The Kettlebell Clean & Press Is Like That.
Especially when using a PAIR of kettlebells.
Especially when programmed correctly.
You feel your whole body practically swelling with strength -
Legs, hips, midsection, arms, shoulders, upper back, grip...
And when programmed correctly, even your heart and lungs.
And unsurprisingly, it even peels off body fat -
When programmed correctly.
After over 20+ years of kettlebell training, in my estimation, it is the near-perfect exercise.
Here's Proof
Mike Moran is a certified trainer in Arizona. He's been a customer of mine for about a decade, maybe more. He also trains karate and BJJ - Brazillian Jiu-Jitsu.
And he's in his 40s.
And he's STILL turning the heads of his colleagues who don't know the physique-transforming power of the Kettlebell Clean + Press.
Here's More Proof
I've "known" John Grahill for over a decade now.
He's been one of my customers for that long, having purchased several of my products and beta-tested others, including Kettlebell STRONG!, Kettlebell RMF, and Kettlebell EXPRESS! (twice).
He agrees with both Mike and I about the Clean & Press.
Here's a recent email exchange he and I had:
He was doing the "Double Giant" - which is the doubles version of a single kettlebell program called, "The Giant."
As you can see, in only 3 weeks, training 30 minutes a day, 3 days a week (90 minutes total), John -
Here's what else John said -
John emailed me after Day1, Week 4. He was able to improve his reps from 55 in one session to 72 in one session... in only 4 weeks.
That's a 24% increase in total work performed!
In other words, John saw a 24% increase in his strength levels in only 4 weeks!
Oh, and I failed to mention -
John is a "high mileage" individual who's in his mid-50's!
This is more like that original promise of kettlebell training, wouldn't you agree?
"Watch in amazement as high-rep kettlebells let you hack the fat off your meat -- without the dishonor of aerobics and dieting..."
Quite honestly though, John didn't use reps that were that high.
He used "moderate" reps and my specialized programming.
Now, you too can get your hands on -
THE GIANT
You may think THE GIANT is one program.
It's not.
It's actually FIVE different programs.
John used #4.
Here's what's inside:
And the best part is -
You can run all these programs back-to-back for 20 weeks of high quality programming!
All You Need Is ONE Kettlebell
And it doesn't even have to be HEAVY.
All you have to do is be able to Clean & Press it 10 times.
And now, suddenly, you have 16 weeks of programming at your fingertips allowing you to transform your body with the kettlebell Clean & Press in only 90 minutes per week.
Better yet -
Accelerate your results and grab A PAIR of kettlebells - they don't even have to match - you're simply limited by the "heavier" one.
How much does THE GIANT cost?
That depends on whether you get the Basic version or The PREMIUM version.
Here's what's included with each:

Ron DOUBLED his Rep Max after just 4 weeks on the program - from 10 to 20!
"I feel leaner, stronger and what's more important, feeling zero pain in my shoulders."
"I'm getting leaner in [the] abdominals and bigger shoulders."

FAQs
Q: How long is each workout?
A: Each workout is 20 to 30 minutes long. You decide.
Q: How long is THE GIANT program?
A: There are FIVE programs and each is 4 weeks long - so 20 weeks - almost 5 months worth of programs.
Q: What size kettlebell do I need?
A: Something that you can Clean & Press for a max of about 10 times. Or a PAIR of kettlebells you can Clean & Press 10 times.
Q: What's better - using a single kettlebell for THE GIANT or a pair of kettlebells?
A: A Pair. They create greater systemic demand and therefore faster, more noticeable results (like John's).
Q: If I use a pair of kettlebells, do they have to be equal?
A: No, you can use mixed-matched kettlebells.
Q: Does this work for women as well as men?
A: Yes. The higher rep sets probably work better for women because women respond to strength training through a "growth hormone response" - which is based on higher training volumes and densities. So I fully expect a woman, based on my experience of training women for the last 25+ years, including my wife, to see results.
Q: Will THE GIANT work for people over 40?
A: Yes. John Grahill is over 50. It worked for him, it'll work for you. Incidentally, I'm in my late 40s, and these types of programs seem to work BETTER for me the older I get. They seem to work better for my recovery.
Q: How long do I have to try this out?
A: You can have a 30-Day Money Back Guarantee. I fully expect you to see similar gains to John Grahill, who is over 50. If for some strange reason you don't - email me at support@chasingstrength.com with a copy of your training log showing me your lack of progress, and I'll happily refund you and we'll part friends.
Thanks for reading this letter.
I hope you decide you're ready for the "Bone-In Tomahawk Ribeye of Training" and take me up on my offer and grab THE GIANT programs today.
