If you want to improve your fitness then you’ve got to enhance your physical work capacity. There are several ways you can go about doing this. However to do it effectively you need to understand what is most effective.

This is one article you don’t want to miss out on. Make sure you read through this one carefully and share it out to your family and friends.

Do you currently look to enhance your fitness and conditioning for faster recovery?
Are you interested in learning how you can supercharge your conditioning for your life and sport activity?
So are you looking to increase your ability to perform greater work output?

I’ve been very fortunate in my career to have trained a variety of different athletes. When it comes to being able to compete and to get to the next level the only thing that separates the good from the great is one’s ability to do more work. Of course in terms of training, fitness, and physical competition this is a challenge when you think your heart is going to beat out of your chest. This is without question the proverbial kick to the balls and it is what us strength coaches refer to as Physical Work Capacity.

How do you organize your workouts to achieve optimal results?

I felt the kettlebell clean movement needed some attention and today’s article will shed some light on it. The bottom line is that you can’t perform most kettlebell lifts until you master the kettlebell clean.

This movement is a critical prerequisite to most every other lift so you want to get it right. A good set up equates to a good execution. Make sure you read and apply this to your own training.

The kettlebell clean is one of the first movements you can perform with the iron bell. This is because it is a prerequisite point of position for many other movements. I mean if you’re going to lift the kettlebell from the ground to start then you’ve got to be able to perform the clean. The thing is that there are many aspects to this lift that are missed. This results in it commonly being done wrong with many lifters.
