Mission Critical

32kg at 50: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Geoff Neupert (@geoff.neupert) Gabriel is 50 years young. He just pressed the 32kg kettlebell. And he said he has never ever been in this kind of shape before in his life. Here's exactly how he did it. He ran Kettlebell STRONG! - specifically the long version called Slow and Steady. Phase 1 is 24 training sessions - 8 weeks, 3 times a week. Phase 2 is 48 training sessions - 16 weeks, 3 times a week. Phase 1 starts with a tough 4 to 5 rep max. By the time you finish Phase 2 - you're using that exact same weight and doing 10 sets of 6 reps with it. 60 total reps with a weight that used to be your near-maximum effort. How is that possible? The stimulus changes every single workout. The sets and reps wave - up and down, up and down - like waves on an ocean delivering a boat to shore. That way the weight just gets lighter and lighter and lighter over time - even though you never changed the load. Your body adapted to the load. Not the stimulus. That's the key my Soviet-trained Olympic lifting coach Alfonso Duran gave me years ago. And it's the key Gabriel used at 50 to get into the best shape of his life. It's available to you too.
