You are correct Yusuf. I can’t think of anyone who couldn’t workout the way I do. It’s simple, fast and effective for me at least.

Train with purpose,

That’s outstanding Sandy. Short simple workouts with results we all want to have. Great example to show that anyone has the time to have a very high level of fitness and vitality.

Dear Mark,

When I first started to dead lift last summer after a 25 + year break I limited my kettlebell work. I didn’t cut it out completely but certainly scaled back. Now I do about the same kb work as pre dead lift.

Hope that helps:)

Sandy,
Well said. I constantly make great strides when I aim to master the basics, then revisit the basics, then master the basics again. I always reap the most benefits when I follow the “less is more” principle. Thanks for the reminder.

Sandy,

I’ve been inspired by your blog to simplify my approach, just yesterday the phrase “simple but not easy” kept going through my head.

I do have one question, I’m starting a PTTP cycle and I’m wondering if it’s counter-productive to continue my kettlebell work as well (this is my first return to the deadlift in years).

Great stuff, thanks!

Mark,

Thanks for stopping by again! Too much time is wasted on low return workouts.

Navy SEALS do it as simple as anyone i know. was told by one that pro athletes think they’re warriors, train like ass, and still get to do shaving cream commercials with all the girls for taking second place. he doesn’t have that luxury. he takes second place and comes home in a box.

nice work Sandy!!
