Finally, the first Aggressive Strength Level 2 workshop is coming to NYC. I cannot wait to cover all of the new information that will dramatically impact your strength and health in the best way possible. I will get right to the point. This course is not for beginners or intermediate kettlebell trainees. If you cannot do the following exercises with good form, DO NOT register for the course: 

One-arm Clean and Mil Press

One-arm Snatch 

One-arm Swing 

Windmill 

Side Press 

Double Clean and Mil Press 

Double Bent-over Row 

Double Front Squat 

Course Information 

I do not have time to cover the basics and you will be asked to leave if you cannot keep up. Do not worry, you will get your money back if you are asked to leave. This course will be limited to ten people as I want to provide personal attention to each student. We are going to work on some very advanced stuff such as: 

  • Mastering the double rack walk to learn the "sit-back" to increase overhead pressing dramatically. You will be able to move to the next KB size up when you master this and do not have to add any more muscle or bodyweight. 

  • Why too much tension is a waste and how to apply just enough tension to get the job done. I did not clean and press two 70lb bells 19 times by over doing tension. 

  • Where to look and what to think when doing heavy KB mil presses 

  • How to press more than ever before with the Windmill Military Press 

  • Why you must do rows and other pulling movements for healthy shoulders and strong pressing. 

  • Why body positioning and leverage is more important than maximum tension for strength and efficiency 

  • How to use the side press to take your mil press through the roof 

  • Learn the Kickstand Lunge for the benefits of the one legged squat without the stabilizer issues. Also great for building strong well developed calves. 

  • Tons of tips to go from Renegade row failure to renegade row success. Variations of the Renegade row to accelerate strength and progress. 

  • The ten best kettlebell exercises for fat loss and how and when to do them. 

  • What equipment to get to compliment your KB home gym and why kettlebells are not the best option for a ripped tapered midsection. 

  • How to avoid over-training the shoulders with kettlebells. Every KB exercise is a shoulder exercise. Learn which ones to focus on and which to cut out. Otherwise, expect to have expensive shoulder injuries. You cannot have it all all of the time. 

  • Why the Double KB Swing is the best ballistic KB exercise for strength and power and how to handle more weight than you ever imagined was possible in the safest manner possible. 

  • Why Double Swings carry over well to double pressing 

  • The best KB exercises for speed and explosive strength and why you should never do more than three reps when speed and explosive power are your goals. 

  • Develop incredible explosive power with the Jump Shrug and Full Body Attack 

  • How to use kettlebells for strength and size 

  • How to get ripped with your KB program and why high rep KB programs are not the answer. Not by a long shot! 

  • Why exercise form changes with each kettlebell and why light KB work does not transfer well to the heavy work. How to get the best of both worlds. 

  • The biggest mistakes that kettlbell trainees make with program design and why many KB trainees are over-trained stimulus addicts. 

  • The critical role of nutrition and supplements to get the most out of your training. 

  • Why you need to get detailed blood work and what tests to get. 

  • Why you will never be strong, powerful, and successful with low T, IGF-1, DHEA, and high Estrogen levels. What you can do about it and why it is critical to your health and well-being.

Frequently Asked Questions 

Q: I just started training with kettlebells a month ago, can I come? 

A: Unless you are the fastest learner around, no. I will not cover the basics at the workshop. If you cannot keep up, you will be politely asked to leave. I only want advanced KB lifters at this workshop. I have too much to teach and do not have time for anyone that will hold up the class. I only have space for ten people so do not take a spot that would be better for someone else, unless you are sure you can handle the course. 

Q: Do I need to bring kettlebells? 

A: No I will have plenty on site and they will be available at a 20% discount as well. 

Q: I am a certified kettlebell instructor, will I pick up anything new at your course? 

A: Congrats on the RKC and you bet your ass you will learn a lot at my class. The RKC cert covers the basics very well so you have a good foundation to survive my advanced class. You will have a whole new tool set to teach your students and increase your value in the marketplace. 

Q: I have some shoulder injuries and have trouble with some of the basics. Can I attend? 

No, you need healthy shoulders and rotator cuffs to take this course. 

Q: Is this going to be a boot camp style course or will it be instruction focused? 

A: Both which is why you need to be prepared for the course. Get ready to work your ass off. 

Q: I have high blood pressure, will I be okay? 

A: Maybe, but I am not going to take any chances. You are not ready so please do not register. Go to my beginner course instead. 

Q: I am not sure if I should sign up. Can you convince me? 

A: No, if you are not sure, do not bother signing up as you are not ready mentally and probably nor ready physically. I want ten serious students. 

Q: I want to get stronger, faster, leaner and take charge of my health. Should I attend? 

A: Yes and I cannot wait to work with you!

The course is not cheap at $699.95 and it is priced that way for a reason. I only want ten serious people at the workshop. If you think the price is too high then do not sign up as you are not a fit for the workshop.
