The Kettlebell Gladiator Press

I first saw this variation performed by Jeff Martone. There are several ways to get into this position. None of which are too easy. Start off light and perform this drill while fresh, early in your training. As you’ll see, it’s a tough position to hold and when fatigued you’ll have a tendency to shake.

P.S. I’m really not that white, it’s the lighting.

Mr. Spectacular Amplified!

Yesterday I posted a video of Mr. Spectacular which is a great kettlebell and bodyweight combo that I picked up from Rob Shaul from MountainAthlete.com

Well, we took this kettlebell and bodyweight combo and amplified it a few degrees by making the kettlebell Clean & Press a kettlebell Clean & Jerk. We also laddered up from 1 -10 on both the push-ups and the kettlebell Clean & Jerks.

Here’s a short video showing how to get it done!

Sweet Little Kettlebell & bodyweight Combo!

I picked this kettlebell and bodyweight training combination up from Rob Shaul from mtnathlete.com Rob is a great resource and comes up with some great workouts.

Here’s what Rob calls Mr. Spectacular:

Tune in tomorrow and check out how we amplified Rob’s kettlebell and bodyweight combo into something a little more sinister.

Thanks Rob.

Anthony “The Animal” Gatt- 5am 6 x 3

I love working with this guy. Today I got together with Anthony “The Animal” Gatt, a professional heavyweight boxer from Philadelphia PA.

Anthony has a fight quickly approaching on Jan. 17th and we’re finishing up his 6- week conditioning cycle.

This workout took place at 5am on a very cold and slick Philadelphia morning. Working with motivated combat athletes is by far one of my most favorite things in life. They make that 4:30am buzzer worth it.

Anthony performed 6 x 3 minute rounds of:
30 seconds of Power Ropes
Dumbbell Snatches- 30 seconds right/30 seconds left
Jumping Lunges- 30 seconds
Plate Lifts-30 seconds right/30 seconds left

Try this one for 20 minutes

Pick your poison, kettlebell or dumbbell both are brutal. This 20 minute workout is a favorite of many of combat athletes that train at our facility or with us online.

Every 2 minutes for 20 minutes you start a new set.
