People like control. So when it's time to make a change, they naturally gravitate towards trying to workout (usually too hard, too fast) because it feels like you're "doing something about it". Unfortunately: your progress cannot exceed your body's ability to recover. This is where you have to set up your system for success to make progress the way it was designed. All you can do is set the table and trust that your body responds. No recovery, no progress.

That doesn't mean that you can't coax additional performance out, even in stressful environments. In fact sometimes that's an essential part of life, if not growth as well. But you can't stay there forever.

The coaches talk: how to recover in 3 different phases:

Basics

Advance-ics

Medics.

In other words:

ONE: how to get healthy and stay healthy.

TWO: what to do if the road gets bumpy.

THREE: what to do if you get benched with a serious injury.

Sometimes we need to do hard things to appreciate what we have in life and to experience compassion (or at least sympathy) for others. Josh and Jordan talk about how to get ready for the hardest thing you've ever done with kettlebells: clean and jerk for 1 hour straight, without putting the bell down!

That's the mission of No Bell Down, our annual charity lift!
