Great interview.
I got certified as an RKC in 2012 and was intrigued by the programming with kettlebells at the time. Iron Cardio feels like a best of and picks me up on exactly what I found so enticing back in the day. Probably the best book out there right now on kettlebell programming. 👌💪

[@strengthconnection]

Awesome. Thanks for listening!

[@SAseeker101]

This is beyond me. I`ll reviist when I have studied more.

[@strengthconnection]

[@danielnowak993]

Glad you think so!

[@sun_surf_soulhippie1537]

LOVE this shared info from Brett! Intuitive training is all I have ever done.. Finally validation! ( for myself)!

[@strengthconnection]

Awesome. Glad to hear it!

[@beaubriggs427]

So my question is each side is considered one set or is it both sides done equals one set? The reason I ask is I believe I've heard two different ways to look at it.

[@strengthconnection]

I do each side is considered one set

[@beaubriggs427]

@@strengthconnection thank you for the explanation, then I've been doing 40 sets. Love it
