I am joined by the creator of DVRT The Ultimate Sandbag Training System, Josh Henkin, to talk about the theory behind sandbag exercises, the different levels and 7 patterns of DVRT's training program, and how simply shifting your movement with the sandbag will change the resistance, force, and intensity. If you're looking for a new type of exercise or want to build strong muscle, Josh gives a lot of great tips on how to do that with sandbags vs. traditional weight lifting.

Do the 7 Day Paleo Reset DVRT The Ultimate Sandbag Training System Why the Ultimate Sandbag-Properly Used-Has a HUGE Athletic ROI In the full-contact arena, athletes contend with an ever-shifting set of challenges: sudden changes in velocity, power, force, weight, and energy demand. The athlete needs to withstand powerful blows directed at any part of the body, to accelerate and decelerate at a moment's notice, to strike back with blinding power and to remain stable in a highly unstable environment. The athlete needs to be this dynamic-while simultaneously minimizing the risk of personal injury. He needs a cat's agile movement skills, a bull's rock-like strength, and a stallion's enduring power.

In this episode, I discuss a recent post I did on using data and technology. While there is no doubt, technology has made huge advances, it doesn't always help us out in the end. I share a personal example of how I used a variety of tools to help determine the type of workout I did. In our race recap, I interviewed SGX Coach Anne L'Heureux. Anne recently qualified to race in the elite heat at Tahoe for the Spartan World Championships. She give a great overview of the race and what sets the World Championship apart from other races. She even gets into a few of the mistakes she made to help you learn from them. We discussed fueling requirements at altitude, how to properly carb load, how to use the race map to determine fueling, and much more. In our coach's corner, I have on Coach Josh Henkins. Josh is the creator of the Ultimate Sandbag and Dynamic Variable Resistance Training. I have discussed sandbag training in the past and feel they are a vital tool for OCR training, so I wanted to get insight in from Josh himself on his philosophy and training system. Josh Henkin is a CSCS and Master RKC with twenty years of experience. His innovative Dynamic Variable Resistance Training (DVRT™) has allowed him to present in more than 13 countries and publish in top outlets like Men's Health and the Wall Street Journal. Josh has coached people of all backgrounds, including the U.S. Army Special Forces Recruiting Battalion and U.S. Marines. In this interview Josh explains how he got into the whole world of sand bag training and how shares equipment we see in the gym is used as a vehicle to express a training system. He discusses the pros and cons of training with sandbags and the variety of ways to overload and stress the body other than just adding more weight. He also explains how certain equipment provide different feedback to the body, that we can learn and progress from and how to use a combination of equipment for better learning. Josh has an incredible gift for explaining how we can use different tools we find in the gym to help us not improve our workouts, but to improve how we perform in the real world.

Chris Holder, Master RKC, collegiate strength coach, and practitioner of medical Qigong joins me for a discussion on training athletes with kettlebells, and why health needs to take a an integrated approach, whereby the practitioner looks at people not just from a physical, but also an emotional and spiritual perspective, as well. This was a lively and highly informative conversation. Hope you enjoy!
https://bengreenfieldfitness.com/holder What separates us from the rest is something that happens every morning around 11:00am. I walk over to the stereo, change the music to either Enya or Lama Gyurme, and the room stops. Those athletes who have been involved with this process all gather around, we walk over to a central space in the room, and we begin a practice that has been performed for thousands of years. Chris Holder is the Head Strength and Conditioning Coach at Cal Poly in beautiful San Luis Obispo, California. Along with working with 22 Division I athletic teams and over 500 student-athletes, Chris is a Doctor of Medical Qigong (DMQ-China). Under the tutelage of world famous Qigong Grand Master Dr. Jerry Alan Johnson, Dr. Holder conducted groundbreaking research on the effects of Medical Qigong Therapy with athletes in competition, the first of its kind. With the blending of western strength training practices and eastern medical and spiritual practices, Chris co-authored a study investigating the effects of a daily Qigong practice on strength gains in collegiate aged athletes. These two pieces have spawned additional studies that are currently in progress. The first is investigating the effects of Qigong on flow induction. The second could be one of the most important studies in concussion research. Both are showing tremendous benefits to each area of study. Chris is one of only 13 Master RKC’s in the world and is known in many strength training circles as one of the first to introduce kettlebell training to collegiate athletics. Chris has worked with athletes at all levels, including professionals in the NFL, NBA and MLB. Chris is a regular contributor to several of the major strength training websites on the web, including, Breaking Muscle, TrainHeroic and Dragon Door. During our discussion, you'll discover: -How Chris blends Eastern Medicine and bad-ass strength concepts to get breakthrough performance in his student-athletes...[7:40] -The five yin organs that Chris targets with his work...[11:20] -How Chris has substantiated the power of consistent Qigong work and its enormous benefits to strength-trained athletes...[17:15] -Why Chris thinks Qi Gong rivals performance enhancing drugs when it comes to performance breakthroughs...[23:10] -How Chris went from being a college football player to becoming a Medical Qi Gong doctor...[24:20] -Why more athletes and exercise enthusiasts, and the fitness community in general, aren't utilizing Qi Gong...[33:00] -The link between emotions, inflammation and cancer, and how you can use Qi Gong to release negative emotions...[36:56] -Why the lower dantian is so important for everyone to build...[44:55] -How to increase drive and sexual performance with specific Qi Gong exercises...[50:55] -How you can use your mind can make the kettlebell swing more effective...[52:45] -Why it's important to put your tongue on the roof of your mouth when doing these practices...[68:35] -Why you need to read "Bob Frissell - Nothing In This Book Is True"...[70:36] -And much more...

Robert ist Master RKC und einer der treibenden Kräfte der Kettlebell in Deutschland. Er unterrichtet in der Kraft und Bewegungsakademie in München, welche ein echter Kraftsporttempel geworden ist. Sämtliche RKC I und RKC II Zertifizierungen finden dort statt. Robert interessiert sich für Kraft und Bewegung. Ihm geht es um reale, messbare Leistungssteigerung. Daher sein Interesse für die Kettlebell, da dieses Tool sehr vielseitig ist. Aber es geht nicht nur um das Tool Kettlebell, sondern auch um die mittlerweile entstandene Gemeinschaft. So freut er sich, dass sich die RKC Community so vortrefflich entwickelt hat. Es ist eine Gemeinschaftsleistung, dass sich so viel Trainer bundesweit engagieren, den Leuten eine gute Technik zu vermitteln. Er erklärt den Unterschied zwischen einem System und einer »Einzelleistung eines Gurus«. Die Kettlebell, wie sie vom RKC unterrichtet wird, ist ein System und kann jedem weiter helfen. Es funktioniert auch ohne Leitfigur und Funktionen können auch von anderen Trainern wahrgenommen werden. Einzeleistungen von einem »Guru« sind oft nicht übertragbar und funktionieren so gut nur bei dem Guru selber. Wenn der Guru wegfällt, stirbt meist die Methode. Das Kettlebell Summercamp ist ein tolles Event, wo sich die »Familie« trifft und Neulinge die Kettlebell und die verschiedenen Leute kennen lernen können. Wenn Ihr selber die Kettlebell Community kennen lernen wollt, schaut hier vorbei. Er geht auf das »Enter the Kettlebell Seminar« und den RKC-Anfängerkurs ein, sowie auf das »brandneue« Konzept sein Geld durch echte Leistung zu verdienen. ;-) Das Bewegungsqualität etwas anderes ist, als einfach nur zu schwitzen und sich von einem Trainer »bespaßen« zu lassen. Auspowern ist kein Training. Auf die für Robert typische humorvolle und direkte Art macht er sehr klar, was er davon hält. Krafttraining heilt und bewahrt einen nicht nur vor Rückenschmerzen, sondern sorgt auch im Alter für festere Knochen. Wenn der Körper keinen Reiz hat, wird er das zusätzlich aufgenommene Kalzium nicht in den Knochen anlagern, egal wie viel man den alten Leuten gibt. Selbst Demenzerkrankungen werden mit dem richtigen Training weiter nach hintern verschoben. Robert betreibt auch den Kettlebellshop.
