Let me start out by saying “Thanks”. About 18 months ago I started looking into KB to help with weight loss and overall fitness. The problem was I couldn’t get a handle (pun intended) on the best methods…the internet is full of suggestions …some bad. I can across your site; purchased and use Kettlebell Express and am starting to work with some of the DKB programs in Kettlebell Express Ultra. The videos you included were very informative. I am a Safety Manager for a construction company and I am both in the office and field on projects regularly. I’ll be 60 yr old this year so most of our field crews are half my age. Keeping up was getting to be a challenge. In the last 17 months I have dropped 46 lbs. and feel and sleep much better overall. I also enjoy reading your emails each week. I am planning on getting Kettlebell Express Ultra as soon as its available. I don’t need a free copy, I just wrote this to say how much I appreciate your work and Thanks again for helping me get on track.

Can you expand on your bullet point of head and neck position while pressing? I have noticed that I want to squeeze my weak eye shut on a grind. I know that can’t contibute positively to the effort.

You once sent out an email about the best way to loose weight was to go longer. It was something to do with swings. The problem is i deleted the email which i don’t now days and I cant find that info on your blog. It went something like this that if my goal was to loose fat I would do given number of swings and then rest and go again I know very vague but can repost that. Also in that you advised against fatigue but now i read in your answers that fatigue produces lactic acid which gives GH which is important for fat loss. Can you please shed some light?

Topic – Enduring Strength in Maintaining the “Rack” position during Transition

I believe I understand that the Rack is really important in terms that we say “Your Press is only as good as your Clean”, I think you could almost say “Your Press is only as good as your Rack”. In terms of activating the right musculature to perform the exercise properly.

So I know the Rack is really important in these DFS, but I feel the bell wanting to teeter over forward when the breathing gets heavy.

Are there any tips you can share regarding alignment of the forearms, position of the elbow some tip, trick, clue that will help me improve my rack during the transition (down and up) phase to stabilize it more. My rack is giving out before my legs are.

I have a question regarding complexes. I own your book “Kettlebell Muscle” and will be starting the program soon (currently doing the ETK Rite of Passage). I tried on a variety day to practice a complex and they are super but I have to ask, with one kettlebell should the exercises be completed all in order onn your weak side first followed by the strong side i.e. go from swing to snatch to clean, etc down the left side then do the same on the right or do one exercise on the left switch to the right and go back and forth until done?

I have quoted you extensively on adaptation. I am 72 years old, and unfortunately have started to adapt to not working out as much as I should. Over the last couple of weeks I have reversed that trend.

Geoff,

Your blog is very interesting and has detailed ideas for performance. However my question is about your last great project: kettlebellsecrets.com. I’ve sent a few emails and I’m just trying a new way to reach you. Is the kettlebellsecrets website shut down or is their a new password? Thanks.
