You hear and read all the time about how you should feel during and after your workouts.  “You gotta feel the burn”, they say or, “your goal during the workout is to get pumped’.  Remember the old Saturday Night Live skit with Hans and Franz?  “We’re here to pump, you up”!  Funny stuff but not grounded in reality.

After the workout everybody evaluates how good the workout was by how exhausted they are leaving the gym or how sore their muscles are the next day.  All bull shit!  The only thing you should be concerned about is results, period!

I never experience a “pump” during a workout, only feel a burning sensation when performing high rep lifts for conditioning, absolutely never leave the gym exhausted and haven’t been sore after a workout in years.  Despite that, I continue to make progress, meaning, I get stronger each and every year.  That would be called getting results.  What do I care about the other stuff?

All that other crap comes out of the old stale bodybuilding playbook.  All those “feelings” that people who don’t know what they are doing tell you you should be having mean nothing.  Don’t fall for the trap of thinking you should feel a certain way during or after a workout.  I felt all those things for many years and didn’t see results, and results are ALL that matter.

If you are employing the lifting strategies that I am teaching, the strategies that I learned from others who had achieved, results are what you will experience.  Leave all the other stuff for the gym rat with big muscles who looks stronger then he really is.  It’s all about results, results, results.

Kill It!

Before entering into a fitness routine, especially one that incorporates kettlebells, be sure to consult with your physician or medical professional to be sure you are healthy enough to begin a strength and conditioning regimen.  Be sure to learn the proper way to perform each lift and complete each exercises in strict form employing a spotter when applicable.  In other words, if you hurt yourself, it’s your fault.
