Kettlebell - August, 2023

Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat. - Sun Tzu

Forethought makes the difference. We plan the work, then work the plan. Double Kettlebells deliver our power, strength, and conditioning. We harness our results through combinations of ballistics, grinds, and timed performance strategies.

Our tactics are simple: we build a framework of General Physical Preparedness (GPP) then fine tune our efforts toward our life’s endeavors. We build success through progressive overload and continuously waving volume. We stay ready for the fight.

August’s Program Design takes its motivation from my love of fastpacking. The Tactical Cycle and Tactical Viking Push Press bias strong power endurance and conditioning benefits with a healthy, but light emphasis on fatigue inducing squats.

My time in the mountains requires me to keep my legs as fresh as possible. Still I’m a believer in squats for overall leg strength and ROM benefits. As an aside, the idea is to “flirt” with hard leg training but prioritize beneficial sport-specific development.

I wear my 5.11 Tactical Plate Carrier for training as much as possible. When I’m shooting my AR 15, I wear this 21lbs of ballistic armor so I can carry two more magazines pouches. I love this thing. Remember Bodyweight+?
