Traditional weightlifting increases both size and strength. For most people this is ideal and doesn't come with any drawbacks. However, there are instances where it's more ideal to gain strength and power without the addition of extra bodyweight. This is a common situation for anyone in athletic events involving weight divisions or those working on bodyweight skills such as pull ups or vertical jumping, which are easier to perform at lower body weights. In these instances the strength of the body can be increase via neuromuscular efficiency training with little to no increase in muscle size. The technique explored in this video is known as "greasing the groove", a term coined by kettlebell guru Pavel Tsatsuoline. This technique can create amazing gains in strength, power, strength endurance and strength skill in a relatively short period of time.

A truly strong core requires more than just abdominal work, it requires the integration of numerous muscles and connective tissues all working together. A useful core is one that protects the spine, has the mobility to move in all directions, and can create and transfer strength across the body. Too many core routines focus on only the visible abdominal muscles and not on the actual functional strength of the midsection. Kettlebells offer a great way to target the core in more of a functional manner.

Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) has become the go to low testosterone treatment for men over 35. However, there is a lot of scientific research to suggest that TRT may be completely unnecessary for most men. For men without any pathogenic issues, changes in lifestyle factors can boost testosterone without the potential negative side effects of TRT. The primary goal of these lifestyle changes is to reduce the total load of physiological, emotional and mental stress. This can repair the stress response mechanisms of the body and in most cases, improve natural levels of testosterone.

Walking is an aerobic, fat burning activity that is very low demand for the human body. This makes it perfect to pair with muscle building exercise programs as it will burn the fat while still leaving plenty of energy and physical resources for strength training.

The side kick and it's variations are considered by many to be the world's most powerful kicks. This can depend on the situation in which they are used, though it is generally a true statement. Yet aside from it's power the side kick is a an excellent striking option for other reasons. It is a long range and quick strike that can keep an opponent at bay while delivering extensive damage.
