I thought the article was an honest description of the journey of one man. I think it was implicit in the article that when he says, "best" he means "best if you're anything like me, and I think a lot of people are" - and I have no problem with someone writing about their own experiences in those terms.
Think and Implicit
You go out of your way on trying to give other the benefit of the doubt, which is good and bad.
However, what you think and view of what it implies amount to guessing at what he meant and is thinking. Which means your really don't know.
Warren is the only one who really knows what he means.
Chris Thibaudeau's Neuro Training Type (Post 26)
Thought it was a pretty cool article and wanted to share. Russian Style Kettlebell Training: The Best Way to Get Fit for Almost Everybody
www.strongfirst.com
I posted information on this a while back. Someone, rightfully so, quizzed me what part of it meant.
Rather that guessing and coming of with what I think, I contacted Chris Thibaudeau to fully comprehend what me meant. Then posted Thibaudea's reply.
"Your Feeling Don't Matter, The Fact Do"
A large part of the foundation of Warren's article is based on his self induces injuries from Bodybuilding and CrossFit. As well as his fear of Powerlifting being a more prone injury sport that doesn't do much for cardiovascular health.
Warren injuries are due to poorly written and executed programs. Powerlifting injuries are usually due to that, as well,
Powerlifting is not doing much for cardiovascular health. Well, duh.
As per....
his bias against bodybuilding and other method is unbelievable.
This takes us back to the "Blame Game". Warren blamed his poorly written and executed injure on the program.
Rather than accepting it was due his poor choices.
OverTraining and Recovery
As per Warren...
"The most popular training modalities in the US are too focused on the stimulus and not enough on the recovery..."
The is definite one of the primary issue with overly ambitious individuals. it
OverTraining With Kettlebells
Training with a Kettlebell Program doesn't make the program bullet proof on OverTraining that impedes recover.
Some post on this site, often pops up, in regard to an individual who isn't making progress and losing ground with a Kettlebell Training Program.
The Issue
The issue isn't the Strength Training Modality.
Each modality provides some type of positive training effect, when it is a well written and executed.
Kettlebell Training: Here Is What I Like and Why
This would have been a better title regarding his personal experience: high lighting some of the unique benefits of Kettlebell Training.
Warren's Personal Experience
This take us back to.,,.,
Great that he finds his favorite training modality/protocol, but his bias against bodybuilding and other method is unbelievable.
As q.Hung stated, it is great that he found something he likes. One of the keys to maintaining any type of exercise program, diet, etc. is finding something you like doing and look forward to.
The foundation is Warren's bias is based his failures and his not accepting that he was he issue rather than the modality.
Type of People To Learn From
1) Successful
1) Warren's Kettlebell Training personal successful training experience provide some good information on what he found that works.
2) Unsuccessful
2) Warren's failure with Bodybuilding, CrossFit Training and thought on Powerlifting, etc. can provide others with good training information on, "What Not To Do".
