EOW: Kettlebell Side Lunge and Touch | Men's Health

EOW: Kettlebell Side Lunge and Touch | Men's Health: "
At the gym,  most men perform exercises that occur in a forward-and-back or up-and-down motion, like the squat and bench press. But the truth is, life rarely happens in just one plane of motion. So develop real-world strength by moving laterally with the kettlebell side lunge and touch."

Weight Training Knowledge You Can't Do Without: "Teaching clients and pupils how to lift a heavy weight may seem like a simple task; but it's not because of the peripheral issues it raises.

Build Serious Power and Strength with the Barbell Clean and Press

Build Serious Power and Strength with the Barbell Clean and Press: "The Barbell Clean and Press is a GREAT exercise for developing power and strength in the entire body.

However, proper technique is something that must be TAUGHT as there is potential for injury if you're not doing it correctly.

I've got an excellent guest instructional video here from "Unbreakable Badass 2.0" author Travis Stoetzel that delves into the mechanics of the movement.

If this is an exercise you've always wanted to try but were worried about injury due to lack of instruction, this is a video you should ABSOLUTELY watch."
