On this episode of Off the Mats Podcast, Dana Zornes and Mike Lee of RazeBells and the All American Kettlebell Open return for a wide-ranging conversation about coaching and participating in youth sports, the current state of kettlebell sport, endurance strength, and the mental side of long-form training. Dana shares insight into how kettlebell sport continues to evolve from upcoming competitions and events to the difference between sport kettlebell lifting and general fitness training. We discuss how the discipline of kettlebell sport emphasizes skill, breathing, efficiency, and long-term resilience rather than simply chasing numbers or intensity. The conversation also moves beyond training. Dana talks about helping coach his daughter's youth softball team, the importance of keeping kids engaged in sports, skill acquisition, and how early athletic experiences shape the way people approach competition and discipline later in life. Mike reflects on his love for niche sports, such as frisbee and cycling, staying active, and how experience and mobility can often compensate for raw athleticism. With UFC 326 playing in the background, we also get into the evolving business side of combat sports, including the UFC's Paramount+ deal and the broader question of whether major media partnerships help grow a sport or dilute it. At the core of the episode is a deeper discussion about the mental side of endurance strength. Dana and Mike break down what actually happens mentally during long sets and explores whether athletes tend to break mentally before they break physically. From coaching strategies and discipline under fatigue to lessons that carry beyond the gym, this episode explores what kettlebell sport can teach about resilience, patience, and staying composed under pressure. If you're a grappler, strength athlete, coach, or anyone interested in the mindset behind endurance training, this conversation offers insight into the mental framework required to perform when fatigue sets in.

In this episode of The Fitness League, Josh Scutnik and Joelle Cavagnaro dive into practical training questions that come up all the time—but rarely get clear answers. We break down kettlebell training fundamentals, how to improve your pull-ups the right way, and why progressive overload still matters no matter where you're starting from. We also talk through how to adapt workouts to individual needs without losing effectiveness, including common mistakes people make when substituting exercises or relying too heavily on banded reps. Along the way, we share some behind-the-scenes insight into how The Fitness League app is evolving, how community feedback shapes programming decisions, and why tracking habits—not just workouts—can be a game changer for consistency. This episode is all about training with intention: understanding why you're doing what you're doing, focusing on proper form, and building strength in a way that actually carries over to real life. Whether you're working toward your first pull-up, learning kettlebells, or just trying to train smarter—not harder—this one's for you.

In this episode of Barbell Shrugged, Doug Larson, Travis Mash (powerlifting world champion), and Dr. Michael Lane break down how to deadlift across the entire lifespan, from kids learning to hinge to lifters in their 40s, 50s, and beyond chasing strength without paying for it later. They start with youth training principles that actually work: keep it simple, keep it safe, and keep it fun. Kettlebell deadlifts and goblet squats win early because they naturally put kids in solid positions with minimal coaching, while the real focus is learning a neutral spine, good mechanics, and building a positive relationship with training. Next, the conversation moves into the teen and peak-performance years, when athletes can build serious capacity and eventually push heavier weights. The guys lay out practical programming that prioritizes technique and volume tolerance over ego lifting, including linear periodization, conservative maxing through heavy triples, and velocity-based thresholds to keep athletes away from breakdown reps. They also dig into why deadlifting is not one-size-fits-all. Anthropometrics drive stance choices and sticking points, and the best assistance work depends on what is actually limiting you, whether that is front squats for getting the bar moving, RDL variations and bands for lockout strength, or staples like glute-ham raises and reverse hypers for posterior chain durability. Finally, they tackle the strength versus functional training debate and bring it back to real-world outcomes. Strength training builds the engine, sport practice is the most functional skill work, and instability training has a place but is not where max force gets built. From there, they map out how deadlifting evolves with age: more attention to stimulus-to-fatigue ratio, smarter variations like blocks, deficits, and trap bars with high handles, more respect for recovery, and more intentional periodization. The throughline is simple. Deadlifting can stay in your life forever, but the version of deadlifting you choose should match your body, goals, and season, not your pride.

In this episode of Kava and Kettlebells, we share an honest update on our Whole30 elimination phase and what we actually learned about gut health, skin issues, energy, and training performance.This was not about doing Whole30 perfectly or following rules just to follow them. We used it as a tool to identify food triggers, reduce inflammation, and better understand how our bodies respond when certain foods are removed and slowly reintroduced.We talk about:• Using Whole30 as an elimination diet rather than a reset• Gut health, IBS, and what changed when dairy was removed• Perioral dermatitis, skin flare-ups, and food triggers• Training performance, energy levels, and under-fueling• Why we did not complete a strict 30 days and what we would do differently• Reintroducing rice, beans, grains, and dairy without shocking the system• Listening to your body instead of following nutrition dogmaIf you are considering Whole30 or any elimination diet, this episode offers a realistic look at what worked, what did not, and how to approach it in a sustainable way.Let us know if you have tried Whole30 or an elimination phase and what you learned from it. You can find us on Instagram @kava_kettlebells for questions and continued conversation.
In this episode of the Garage Gym Athlete podcast, Jerred Moon and Dave discuss the importance of consistency in fitness, particularly through their 300 Challenge. They share insights from the community, strategies for maintaining daily and weekly training goals, and the significance of front-loading workouts. The conversation also covers the epic version of the challenge, which includes additional volume and step goals, and how to effectively track and adjust these metrics. The hosts emphasize the need for intentionality in workouts and the benefits of community support in achieving fitness goals. Takeaways Consistency is key for success in fitness challenges. Breaking down goals into manageable chunks helps maintain motivation. Daily habits, like hitting 300 calories, can be challenging but rewarding. Front loading workouts can provide a buffer for busy weeks. Community support plays a crucial role in maintaining consistency. Tracking volume and steps can help in achieving fitness goals. Kettlebell exercises can significantly contribute to volume goals. It's important to be intentional about warm-ups and cooldowns. Gamifying workouts can lead to better habits in the long run. The challenge encourages accountability and intentionality in fitness. Topics Garage Gym, Consistency, 300 Challenge, Training, Fitness, Community, Daily Habits, Volume Tracking, Steps, Epic Version

Today we bid farewell to a legend in the kettlebell world, without whom the entire movement almost certainly would've petered out and faded into fitness obscurity more than two decades ago. I give my thoughts about it on this episode. On that note, if you like training that: · Gives you more strength than it takes from you · Improves your stamina and resilience simultaneously · Powers-up every nook, cranny, crevice, and corner of your Soft Machine Then you just might like my 9-Minute Kettlebell and Bodyweight Challenge. As the name indicates, it's just 9 minutes long, and it's designed to be done WITH your current workouts – NOT instead of them. Even cooler: Many find that it actually amplifies their strength in their favorite kettlebell and bodyweight moves, like presses, squats, pullups, and more. And best of all, it's free. How free? I'm talkin' freer than the 4th of July, my friend. Get thee thine own copy here: http://www.9MinuteChallenge.com Have fun and happy training! Aleks Salkin

Kettlebell workouts can be a great way to maintaining strength, even if you have a running injury. If you are a runner who has an overtraining injury like a metatarsal stress fracture or a plantar plate sprain, you are probably doing everything you can to keep the rest of your running body strong, while that one injured part heals. Kettlebell training can help, as long as you don't let those kettlebell workouts overload that injury to the ball of the foot. You have to pay close attention to form and technique. Today on the Doc On The Run podcast, we're talking about Kettlebell mistakes and modifications for injured runners.

This week on the Garage Gym Athlete Podcast, we're running three completely different scientific studies through the grinder—and none of us saw each other's ahead of time. Expect surprises, arguments, and some actionable training takeaways you can start using immediately. Jerred digs into a kettlebell snatch protocol that boosted VO₂ max without running. Joe explores how dietary nitrates (think beets, spinach, arugula) improve isometric endurance by 25%. And Dave breaks down a 2025 study showing how heavy strength work dramatically improves running economy, durability, and time-to-exhaustion in well-trained runners. We also kick things off with an update on last week's isometric training experiment—spoiler: it was brutal—and end with a practical roundtable on supplements we actually use.
