Improve Strength Endurance With The Kettlebell Snatch

Here's the deal...

To be 100% honest with you, there isn't a [kettlebell] workout on the planet that will help you lose body fat...

**GASP**

​Say whaaaaaa?

Yeah... I know

I sure you've heard this before (I've even said it)... Check out this x, y, or z [kettlebell] workout! It's guaranteed to strip unwanted body fat. This is pure marketing strategy to get you to buy a particular training plan. Like I said, I've said this before too.

Now, it's not actually wrong, but it is misleading. See what we really mean when we say this is, do this [kettlebell] workout to burn a bunch of calories which will lead to a caloric deficit and help you strip unwanted body fat.

Physical performance:

If your goal is to improve your endurance, build muscle, or simply get stronger in general... that can only be achieved through exercise. This has more to do with how you train and less to do with what foods or supplements you're taking.

Can food help? Sure.

It's it necessary? Not really.

Now before you get your panties in a wad and say, Hector are you saying eating right won't help you gain muscle? No, that's not what I'm saying... well actually, yes, that's what I'm saying.

Gaining muscle is the result of placing the muscle under prolonged tension, and less to do with how much protein your shoving in your mouth. If anyone who tells you that you need to increase your protein to gain muscle, is just trying to sell you something.

If you want muscle, perform higher reps (6-8) for several sets (5-10+). This will keep you under tension longer; this is how you gain muscle. If you want to improve your strength endurance to do a snatch test, again, you need to increase your volume of snatches or swings... not increase your calories.

Make sense?

Aesthetics:

If your goal is fat loss/weight loss; this can only be achieved through proper nutrition. There isn't a [kettlebell] workout in the world that can over come a crapy diet.

So if you're looking for a training plan to do that, you'll be looking for a loooong time. Now, can exercise help you lose weight? YES! but if you rely on exercise alone, you'll eventually plateau.

If you're looking to lose body fat, you need to know how to pair your workouts with what types of food you consume; I cover this in my 5-Day Fat Incinerator Course (and my our upcoming Hardstyle Diet™).
