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

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 -

  • Dropped 4.5 pounds...
  • Wearing a pair of 35 inch waist jeans that were "slightly uncomfortable" and are now "spot on" - demonstrating that some of the weight he lost was stomach fat - the most dangerous kind - the stuff that contributes to heart disease...
  • Did this without "significantly altering his diet"... 
  • His arms are "more vascular" - which means he's seeing more definition in them...
  • Improved his conditioning levels by adding almost 2 extra ladders...

Here's what else John said -

Here's what's inside:

  • THE GIANT 1.0 - A basic 10RM program for those with lower endurance...
  • THE GIANT 1.1 - An intermediate 10RM program for those with average endurance...
  • THE GIANT 1.2 - An intermediate 10RM program for those with better than average endurance...
  • THE GIANT 2.0 - An advanced 10RM program for those with average endurance and high levels of strength...
  • THE GIANT 3.0 - A 5RM program for those who want to make a heavy pair of kettlebells feel light...

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.

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.
