This is the second in a series on my progress on biofeedback. Click here for the first post.
I still feel like I need more time to have revolutionary results. So far the results have only been great!
My lifts are going up. By following my biofeedback my body is guiding me to do higher volume most of the time versus what I use to do which was singles or maybe 5×5.
You may have heard about cycling or waving the loads before in periodization or other training plans. It looks like the reason that works is because that’s what the body naturally wants to do!
The question you may be asking is, is this higher volume leading to more strength on the top end? So far it seems to be yes. Still need more time to see the overall and definite trend but I’m starting to see it right now. About once a week or so the testing guides me to work up to a max (in different lifts). As long as the exercise keeps testing better with increasing loads I keep going.
One big change is that I no longer do a daily joint mobility routine. I don’t need to. My body isn’t beat up from training, in fact I rarely get sore and when I do its just a small amount.
I have improved my flexibility without doing static or isometric stretching. Even my hand balancing practice is getting better, when I’ve been stuck for a long, long time.
I leave each workout moving better than I did before the workout. I feel good, if not downright fresh and ready to do much more. Sometimes I feel a little worked after high volume or many exercises but I never feel dead tired or like I need to lay down to recoup.
Making it Hard or Making it Easy? The Choice is Yours...
I saw a comment on another blog regarding PR’s and I want to clarify what that really means. PR stands for personal record. It doesn’t mean you have to max out in your lift in order to get it. It simply means you’ve done more in one way or another than ever before.
Progress is the name of the game in training. And progress comes in the form of PR’s. There is no other way.
So these are my results…so far. I will continue to do this because its working. There is no turning back. I expect over time it will get even better. And I will report on what happens.
On that note, Adam Glass is re-releasing the Grip and Rip DVD’s with even more material that explains how to do all this properly.
When I got started I had lots of questions. It took time to get the feeling and to be doing it right. With these DVD’s you’ll cut the learning curve in half. And then you’ll see these results faster.
No other training information or program out there will give you the capabilities this one does. To listen to your body for your own training. To guide you in how you and only you should be training.
Not to mention I’m actually having even more fun then before with this stuff.
***BONUS***
These DVD’s are going to show you everything you need to get started fast. But I was thinking about what I could offer to complement this and I happened on this idea. You see, I learned best by going through the process myself. You can tell me something or show me how it works and I still might not ‘get it’.
Maybe you’re the same?
So I’m going to film my next two workouts and walk you through exactly what I’m doing and why I’m doing it. How I test, when I test, why I test, when I stop my sets, everything I can show you.
These will be made available as online videos on a secret page only for you who order now through this link and forward me your receipt.
They made a limited number of copies and they’re likely to sell out fast. So if you want this information and my bonus, which is the closest thing I can give you to walking you through it in person, you need to act now.

I wanted to let you know about a workshop I’ll be attending in just a couple weeks. Its put on by some of the top trainers in the RKC and is well worth the cheap price of admission.
There’s Mark Reifkind presenting on the lat muscles and all the goes into building a powerful back.
The Iron Tamer, Dave Whitley will be teaching the lessons of the old-time strongman and how to apply these to your training whether you do feats of strength or not.
He’ll also be drilling deep into pressing movements with many variations and how to balance out your left and right sides.
And lastly, the Queen of Kettlebell Swings, Tracy Reifkind will show all she knows on the kettlebell swing. And if you haven’t seen the numbers she’s done you’d be impressed.
I won’t be presenting, but I’ll be there taking notes. Plus I’ll be an open book to any questions you have for me, whether its kettlebell juggling, my latest techniques on the kettlebell snatch or anything else.
Plus I’d like to meet you. 
Its on Sunday, May 2nd in Sunnyvale, California
For those who are around the area, or if you want to make the trip, I’d highly recommend you check this out.
Full details can be found here.

P.S. I am not compensated if you sign up. There’s just so much value here I had to tell you about it. So if you can make it you need to be there. They’re even giving you DVD’s of the event to review afterwards.
P.S.S And if you do sign up, or if you already have, let me know and I’ll see you there.

The kettlebell snatch is one of my favorite exercises. And the kettlebell snatch test is one of my favorite tests of endurance and mental toughness.
Several minutes into a kettlebell snatch test
I didn’t stop there.
My next goal was 250. I hit that a couple months back (actually got 251).
Now my goal is 200 with the 32 kg. Its tough work. My best so far is 160 and I’m making my way up step by smooth step.
Of course, I’m not trying to brag. If I was I wouldn’t tell you just how hard snatching was for me in the first place. But I’ve come a long way. I no longer tear my hands up doing this and I make progress each and every time I set out to do it.
I know there are many others out there who want to add numbers to their snatches. And believe me there is a lot that goes into that, from techniques to pacing, programming and more.
I’m thinking about putting a DVD together that shows you everything I know about the kettlebell snatch test in its many forms. And I mean everything.
So here’s what I want you to do. I have a two question survey.
Kettlebell Snatch Test Survey (survey is closed).
Even though its tiny I still want to give you something for completing it. I shot a video showing you two tips that you can start using right away to increase your snatch numbers.
If you want it all you have to do is answer my easy questions and you‘ll get access to it.
Sound fair?
