I still do the 30 minute don't put the bell down KB workout from years ago on the DD forum and the 2005 RKC cert. <BR/><BR/>This hybrid workout (as of now), the sandbag one from a few posts back, and the 30 minute Maxercise KB one are routinely worked into my HOC type training days.<BR/><BR/>So I am wondering if any of your new DVDs geared towards these kind of workouts. I am looking for fun/hard/intense 30-80 routines that work it all with a cardio theme. Follow along workouts are great because I sometimes get some co-workers to come out with me and they can follow the DVD to learn the workout.<BR/><BR/>Most of my training is LCCJ & 2 KB LCCJ with a focus on competing in GS. I do not follow the strict AKC mold as I like to do deadlifts, pull ups, Steve Maxwell workouts, and Art of Strength workouts to keep and more "well rounded" workout schedule.<BR/><BR/>So if you can recommended a DVD that might fit in with what I am looking for it would be appreciated.<BR/><BR/>Thanks,<BR/>RobAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5186815140250716212.post-77806460668017831332008-09-14T07:02:00.000-07:002008-09-14T07:02:00.000-07:00Where do you get the loop version?

One of the things I like about you...Thanks, Steve! One of the things I like about your style and ego-less approach it that you reference originators of training methods, and we can clearly see how you develop and sprinkle your own "Maxwellisms" into the original models in order to progress or alter them for greater efficacy, or for a specific application.<BR/><BR/>I've been trying to increase work capacity via less rests for the past few months, and your post provided me with more fuel for thought, and even inspired a workout last night of Heaven and Hell, Hanging Knee Raises and TGUs (slow and reversed) with minimal rest periods. Obviously, your "Omelet" workout is another example of an intense stystemic, anaerobic approach as well.<BR/><BR/>This type of training helped me "hang" at a BJJ/Muay Thai seminar earlier this year, in spite of not having trained in martial arts in years. I'm planning to join a local grappling school (jujutsu, judo and sambo) so this type of training will obviously help me prepare for the rigors of practice, even though I know the most benefit comes from actually participating in the said discipline.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again for an!ther great post!<BR/><BR/>Clint<BR/><BR/>PS - I also need to work on convincing my wife to don a bikini in order to provide additional hormonal encouragement during my workouts. However, I know that she will ask me to return the favor in order to promote hormone balance during her workouts as well... How far should I go? I'm not a fan of "banana hammocks", but this might be part of the deal ;)Clinthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13853004578776310302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5186815140250716212.post-14471347911410215472008-09-09T16:22:00.000-07:002008-09-09T16:22:00.000-07:00Thanks, John!

I prefer the straps hanging free, it makes the JG easier to adjust. Otherwise, it looks like the handles are a bit padded, but that isn't worth much, 'd stick with the simple version.<BR/>Between the regular and split varieties, the split makes it easier to do dips, but the regular is easier to hang on tree limbs. If you'll be using it mostly outdoors, go with the regular and indoors, maybe the split.<BR/>Glad you like the Encyclopedia of Jont Mobility! I get so many good testimonials about it.

I've had trouble finding a supplier in the UK and think this will be a great piece of equipment for me as I travel a lot for my job (1 in every 5 weeks). I finally located a supplier and they want £36.99 (about $65, plus about $10 delivery) for the JG1 and £54.99 ($96) for the JG2. They also have a split JG variant. <BR/><BR/>In your opinion is it worth me stumping up the $100 for the JG2 or would I do just as well with the original?<BR/><BR/>I took delivery of your Joint Mobility Encyclopaedia DVD earlier this year and it's totally brought my hips and neck back into condition. I am truly thankful! <BR/><BR/>Finally, I heard a rumour that you might be teaching a seminar in London, UK this year but have not seen any details. Any truth?<BR/><BR/>Warmest wishes.Hutchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16129479364649608686noreply@blogger.com
