Your job as an individual is to define yourself FOR yourself — not to rely on the ready-made identity your parents wanted for you (though you may certainly find inspiration in that, as I have). On the strength front, this is more important now than ever (especially if you're a millenial). Listen, apply, and enjoy!

Get my 9-Minute Kettlebell & Bodyweight Challenge FREE here: http://www.9MinuteChallenge.com I'm joined on this riveting episode by Rob Pleban - a long-time Hammer Head (i.e. follower of Yours Jewly, the Hebrew Hammer) and even longer time enthusiast for kettlebells, calisthenics, and old-school training from near-forgotten eras (something I'm also very interested in). Listen in as he walks us through his journey to greater strength, health, and physical vitality in his 70s than in his "spring chicken years"

Get my 9-Minute Kettlebell & Bodyweight Challenge FREE here: http://www.9MinuteChallenge.com Without question, learning how to avoid common mistakes in your training — mistakes that hold back your gains, frustrate your efforts, and do precious little more than kill your success and take you way off course while your friends surge boldly forward — is a must. And if you're a busy professional with limited time to work out, you don't have a lot of time for trial and error — so there's no sense in taking a shot in the dark and hoping for the best. With that said, one of the best and most frequently ignored methods of boosting your strength in just about anything is...exactly what I talk about in this podcast. Tune in and check it out.

Not because it's ineffective (it's highly effective).

Get my 9-Minute Kettlebell & Bodyweight Challenge FREE here: http://www.9MinuteChallenge.com Manifestos often get a bad rap. Serial killers have them. The Unibomber had one. Karl Marx had one. But really, a manifesto is kind of like a mission statement, and if you've seen enough James Bond and Mission: Impossible movies, you know that missions are badass and totally cool. So why the "anti-exercise" manifesto? Because exercise — as necessary as it is for us nowadays — is to movement what vitamins and protein powder are to eating: a supplement. Ideally you should be adding exercise and (maybe) nutritional supplements to your existing movement routine and diet. What in the hell can I possibly mean by this? Listen in closely and find out.
