Increase your performance and reduce the chance of injury during kettlebell training, crossfit, martial arts, or other physical activities.


These may be the only stretches you'll ever need to work the whole body from every angle, injury-proof yourself, increase range of motion and strength at the same time. Comes with alternatives and detailed descriptions.


These are not some collection of what's cool or the hip thing to do, these are the movements, exercises, and stretches that I've been using for years, and will keep using.


Got back pain?

As a hiker, BJJ practitioner, crossfitter, kettlebell enthusiast, and heavy lifter myself, I sometimes experience joints out of place. After performing some of the movements covered in this book I hear/feel things moving back into place. With that said, I've not had to visit a chiropractor for many years. I certainly think that there are some good chiropractors out there, and for certain people who lack the knowledge, a chiro is highly recommended, even by me, someone who prefers to rather gain the knowledge and/or handle everything himself.


Strength!

Before you go buy this book thinking that this is about gaining huge muscles and insane strength, allow me to explain why I have the word “strength” in the title. The strength you will gain from this book is that which is hidden in the form of isometric contraction, core strength from some of the movements, and strength from the small section dedicated to mobility through resistance. I mention this now as I don't want to disappoint you. If you're after a good book to gain strength, search for THE BIG FOUR strength program or Master The Kettlebell Press, all by Cavemantraining.


Photos

If high-quality, photo model, top-notch photography is what you're after, don't buy this book. Again, I want you to get what you're after and not be disappointed. I basically shoot my own photos, either on a timer, or with my wife or son. I then process them through Lightroom and play with it, I enjoy this process. I did not hire some hotshot photographer to make the photos. One day when these books start paying enough money to live off, I will hire some photo models and a hotshot photographer and redo all photos. For now, these will have to do. 


YOU NEED THIS!

This is the stuff you need to do to feel and move well. We all know how to do the bicep curls, bench press, deadlift, and whatever else to look good, but we tend to neglect the work and time we should invest in ourselves to give back, to stay injury free, to move better, and all this will translate into better performance and results in other areas of your life and training.


POORLY MADE

This book is poorly made. Hah. Yes, I have had this feedback on two other books, and I take feedback seriously, I do not want you to feel like you wasted your money, I take pride in the work I provide, I invest a tremendous amount of time into the work, I do the best I can to translate and describe that which I know can help people across the world. If that is not good enough for you, I'm available to chat about this, to answer your questions, and to help you in person. No payment required, assuming the topic is the book you purchased, and the question is within reason. My point being, read the information I present to you prior to buying, then make up your mind about whether this is the right info and presented in the way that's going to work for you. Peace.

About the author

  My name is Taco Fleur, and I'm an IKFF Certified Kettlebell Trainer, Kettlebell Level 1 + 2 Trainer, Kettlebell Science and Application, CrossFit Level 1 Trainer, MMA Conditioning Level 1, MMA Fitness Level 1 + 2, Punchfit Trainer and Plyometrics Trainer Certified, with a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I have owned and set up 3 functional kettlebell gyms in Australia and Vietnam, and lived in the Netherlands, Australia, Vietnam and Thailand. I'm currently living in Spain.Fleur, and I'm an IKFF Certified Kettlebell Trainer, Kettlebell Level 1 + 2 Trainer, Kettlebell Science and Application, CrossFit Level 1 Trainer, MMA Conditioning Level 1, MMA Fitness Level 1 + 2, Punchfit Trainer and Plyometrics Trainer Certified, with a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I have owned and set up 3 functional kettlebell gyms in Australia and Vietnam, and lived in the Netherlands, Australia, Vietnam and Thailand. I'm currently living in Spain.andThailand. I'm currently living in Spain.

The first thing I'd like to know about is that I do not know everything, I do not pretend to know everything, and I never will. I'm on a path of life-long learning. I believe there is always something to learn from someone, no matter who they are. I've been physically active since the day I arrived on this earth in 1973. I got serious about training in 1999, touched a kettlebell for the first time in 2004, and got serious about kettlebell training in 2009. I'm here to do what I love most, and that is to share my knowledge with the world.

Some of my personal bests are 400 burpees performed under one hour; 500 kettlebell snatches, 500 swings and 500 double-unders all completed in one session; 250 alternating dead clean and presses in one session with 20kg; 200 pull-ups in one session; 200 unbroken kettlebell swings with a 28kg; most kettlebell swings completed in one session with a 28kg (1,501); most total kettlebell swings done in 28 days with a 28kg (11,111); windmill with a 40kg kettlebell; lugged to kettlebell up to 1,184m mountain; 160kg dead lift; 250 alternating dead clean and presses in one session with 20kg; 100 snatches on sand with a 24kg kettlebell; 85kg Olympic Squat Snatch; Gold medalist with 30 minutes of unbroken 16kg half snatches for a total of 532 reps.PBs not to boast but to demonstrate that I have a good understanding of technique and movement across different areas.

My own training and goals are geared around GPP (General Physical Preparedness) which involves kettlebell training, calisthenics and CrossFit. I like high-volume reps but also like greasing the groove now and again. My main goals are to remain as possible, remaining mobile, training in as many plans of movements as possible, and learning as many different combinations and movements as possible while having fun and enjoying Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I'm not Arnold Schwarzenegger and will never be, but strength is not defined by physical appearance and huge bulging muscles.
