How Going Behind The Iron Curtain Opened My Eyes To Our WeaknessBy Scott SonnonWhen I left for Russia, I was a lot like you. I was thirsty for the truth about effective training. I was tired of gimmicks and “flavour of the month” fat loss & muscle building scams. I crossed an ocean in search of the TIME-TESTED methods old school Eastern athletes had been using for generations, to not only build awe-inspiring physiques but to out-perform their Western counterparts at every turn.In the West, it seemed like we were constantly focused on tools and tricks. The latest trend proved irresistible as it pulled us off track from our performance and our physique goals. $10,000 machines were shiny distractions from real progress.What I discovered behind the Iron Curtain changed everything. I found methods that would propel me, my athletes and eventually my physique clients directly to their goals — both rapidly and sustainably — using a single tool that was as simple and raw as it was effective.Almost unknown back in those days, the simple kettlebell has exploded in popularity here in the West. But most people — even well educated coaches — still arenʼt using it to itʼs full potential.“Most programs out there focus only on working muscle and burning fat”Unfortunately, when it comes to building a great physique and ensuring optimal performance in your sport or on the job, most programs out there focus only on working muscle and burning fat. And as a result, program designs are usually limited to one-dimensional gross motor movements. Make no mistake. Conventional kettlebell exercises are tough. And you FEEL like youʼre getting a great workout. But thereʼs a glass ceiling to what youʼre able to accomplish with brute force alone.If youʼve ever worked with my TACFIT Kettlebell Spetsnaz programs, youʼll know that wonʼt happen with my material.When in Russia, I immediately recognized how to apply the methods I was learning from the countryʼs top sport scientists and coaches to this timeless tool. The training system I came up with was so powerful that I even ended up coaching their Spetsnaz coaches and personnel.At the time, having a foreigner in that role was unheard of — and more than a little controversial. The fact that they even allowed it spoke volumes about the powerful results I was getting with my approach.Kettlebell training is often all show and no GO…Now that kettlebells are popular in the West, I see a lot of shiny penny programs that make big promises but have no substance. After all, the kettlebell is only a tool. Itʼs a very effective weapon to have in your arsenal, but garbage in will always lead to garbage out.And thatʼs why I want to share what Iʼve learned about kettlebells over my decades of study, coaching and experimentation. Iʼve dredged up the best that traditional kettlebell training has to offer — and that well is deep. But I’ve also bypassed rote adherence to tradition by integrating the no-nonsense lessons of cutting edge Eastern sport science.The Solution? Use tactical and functional kettlebell training methodsBecause Iʼve put in the time, you donʼt have to. By following the programs Iʼve developed for my special operations clients and law enforcement units, you can expect a wide array of benefits, including…    * accelerated fat loss    * lean and sleek muscular development    * functional carryover into your sport or occupation    * better coordination and timing in all physical tasks    * increased adherence to your exercise program    * and even a ramped up metabolism Part Of The Secret — Variety And ProgressionItʼs important that your training be infused with variety and progression. Unfortunately, thatʼs a rarity in most kettlebell programs.If you stick to those “other” programs, youʼll eventually either get bored and give up, your body will begin to break down from injury and overuse, or youʼll reach an unbreakable plateau in your progress. Thatʼs because your focus on muscle building and fat loss ignores the most crucial element in your training — your nervous system.Sophisticated Programming Will Turbo Charge Your Nervous SystemAnd that truly is the key. The nervous system drives everything. If you donʼt challenge, stimulate and develop it, your progress will stop dead in the water.The key to optimizing your workouts and fully stimulating your nervous system for maximum physical development is the inclusion of exercise sophistication.Whatʼs that?Essentially, it boils down to starting with a simple movement and adding small pieces of complexity only when your nervous system is ready to take on the next challenge. Incrementally stimulating the nervous system without blowing a fuse by adding too much motor complexity too quickly.You first learn to apply your maximum effort to a basic movement. And then — when youʼre ready — you move on to the next level and do the same. Motor programming is an admittedly complicated subject. But you DONʼT EVEN HAVE TO THINK ABOUT IT. Iʼve taken care of the entire process for you in TACFIT Kettlebell Spetsnaz. Just follow the step by step progression and youʼll have everything you need to take that next big leap in your training.Whether youʼre an athlete, a soldier, a police officer or just a regular guy or gal who wants to look and feel great, this kettlebell program is perfect for you. If you put in the effort, you can expect that fat to drip off your body as you reshape a lean and sleek muscularity. Youʼll notice your movements becoming more refined as your timing and coordination sharpens. And youʼll even notice that picking up new skills in other areas, such as sports or on the job, will become easier as your nervous system begins to function at entirely new levels.
