Kettlebells Meet Edina SWAT

Thursday Oct 14, 2010 10:00am.  Edina SWAT rolls into RAD Boot Camp / Kinetic Edge

Diva Class: “Are you and Kurt under investigation?”

Brad:  “No, they are here to challenge you :)

Diva Class:  “BRING IT ON!!”

Edina SWAT members experience the power of the kettlebell for the first time.  I met captain Kevin Rofidal at the SOTA (Special Operations Training Association) Conference this past spring.  I presented kettlebells in to a community of guys who need to be ready for anything at any time while making very quick decisions under stress.  Kevin was the first to approach me about working his team.

Kettlebells are absolutely incredible for law enforcement, military, paramedics…anyone who has the demands of a physical job.  Implementing strength, flexibility and burst training –kettlebells, in my opinion, are the ultimate all-in-one conditioning tool.  If you are looking for pure strength and mass ONLY, then barbell training (deadlift, squats) is in order.

Here’s Kurt and I with the crew…

Brad Nelson Trains Kettlebells with Edina SWAT

Thanks to Kevin and the entire Edina SWAT Team for investing in learning something new!  Glad we could help out those who serve and protect on a daily basis.

Crank it!

Grip N Rip 2.0 Rivals Monster Truck Showdown

Grip N Rip 2.0 Saturday Feb 6, 2010 co-taught with partner in crime Adam T. Glass.

There’s a New Kid on the Block and he’s “Hangin’ Tough”

New Kids on the Block - Hangin Tough

Sometimes I wonder how and why certain people cross my life path.  At this point in my journey, I understand there are zero coincidences.  When you cross my path for whatever reason, I will make sure to let you in on that thought stream.  Whether it resonates with you at that specific moment in time and what you do with that encounter will be left to your free will.

Grip N Rip 2.0 Attendees with Adam T Glass & Brad Nelson

There is something about gathering open minds and the open forum synergy it creates.  The world is changing.  Adaptation is taking place…Learn to adapt or be forced to adapt.  Weekends like this are indescribable in a blog post and that’s why you need to attend.

Fourteen brave souls entered my private lab at 1000 hours eager, excited, nervous.  A few from the Twin Cities proper.  Most from different area codes.  The actual workshop ended at 6:30pm.  Yet the material absorbed and implemented will change these 14 people (and myself and Adam) included forever.

Where else can you bring together…

a medical company worker
a lawyer
a barber
a programmer
an IT analyst
a railroad worker
a pipe layer
a construction company owner
a machinist
a sex offender case worker
a ski instructor
a communications professor
a guy with off-the-charts Tourette’s
a guy who elects getting punched in the face a couple times per week
an E6 Air Force Sergeant
and myself who has seen the tip of the iceberg in my 11 year+ fitness industry stint

…and have everyone feeling like they just were struck with a lightning bolt?

Your belief systems (positive or negative) are the driving force in your life.  They determine EVERYTHING.  Are your belief systems serving you?  Question “authority.”

The ONLY thing this weekend could rival is a Monster Truck Showdown.

Monster Truck Showdown

Why a Monster Truck Showdown?  Because the reverberation felt around the training world sounds like the Monster Truck announcer in that deep announcer voice growling “Sunday-Sunday-Sundaayyy!”

Crank it!

Lessons learned…

1 Andy Anderson is a 52 year old stud.  No training.  Came out and impressed the hell out of me.  Managed to Deadlift 275 / notched a 0 on Pullups / Snatch 24kg 84 reps in 5:00.  He did this with zero Deadlift or Pullup training and minimal kettlebell training.  And last he was coming to “WATCH” the competition and decided at the last minute to weigh-in and compete.  Brass Balls my friend.  That is what I’m talkin’ about.

2 Grateful that two of my super-dedicated class members Paul and Kathi came out and tested themselves.  They both did a fantastic job on minimal training and not ever doing this before.  I know they were both semi-frustrated with some of their lifts…but it’s a baseline to grow next time :)

3 Hopefully the other competitors caught the major lesson of the day.  I had a really crappy prior 2 months of Deadlift training so I wasn’t expecting big things.  Well I felt good on this particular morning so tapers WORK!  My second attempt 455 felt fantastic.  My PR is 495.  So I looked at Adam and said “should I play it safe and go for 475 cuz I know I’ll get it or should I go BIG at 500?”  Adam’s response “Go Big or Go Home”  You see me shut it down about 4 inches off the floor with 500.  Knowing that I left nothing on the table was gratifying as well.  Also Adam pulled 500 on his 2nd attempt and missed 530 on his 3rd “Going BIG” as well.  I definitely learned my lesson that morning… from a couple of us trying to best our own personal records and falling short…THIS time.

Props to the 7 of YOU who competed!

The next Tactical Strength Challenge will be held in September.  Be there and compete!

Biggest Loser’s Jillian Michaels Fails Miserably with Kettlebells | Rant #13

The Biggest Loser

+ Jillian Michaels Biggest Loser Kettlebells = Kettlebell ??

I witnessed a landmark event last night that was Ranting Fuel for today.  Jillian Michaels demonstrating KETTLEBELLS on The Biggest Loser….WRONG!  Imagine that.  Someone on TV who doesn’t know what the hell they’re doing.  Jillian, you should be ashamed of demonstrating something you obviously have yet to learn how to use yourself.  This is even more devastating because you stand atop a very influential platform that MILLIONS of people watching NOT-in-the-know now know about kettlebells (good) but will use them wrong (bad).

If you’re going to buy Kettlebells …you’ll want to BUY THEM FROM DRAGON DOOR!

Kettlebells

This is the equivalent of myself taking a 2 hour class on transmission repair at Jiffy Lube and then opening shop to fix transmissions.  Any takers?  I guarantee you this…make sure your insurance is paid up because you’ll be buying a new car!

Resistance Bands Product Review

Today I want to discuss One of My Favorite Exercise Tools that can be used ANYWHERE…

Resistance Bands

Resistance bands are a fantastic product that you can use for…
-home workouts
-hotel workouts
-park workouts
-anywhere….be creative!

Resistance Band Shoulder Press

Resistance Band Ab Rotation

Resistance Band Front Lunge

Here’s what Resistance Bands have to offer…

1 Portability.  Take them ANYWHERE.
2 Large variety of exercises.  You can do endless exercises with bands because you can change your positioning and the angle of the band in multiple ways on the fly.  You can do every single exercise you can do with free weights plus many more.
3 Easily switch from one exercise to another.
4 Easy to set up. Bands can be attached to a door or a banister or step on for INSTANT workout capabilities
5 Provide a total body workout.
6 Bands constantly engage your CORE.  Both Upper and Lower body exercises will require you to engage more of your core in order to stabilize against the resistance.
7 Create resistance from ALL angles.  Front, behind, side, low, high, overhead, below…every possible angle.
8 Progressive Resistance.  The more you expand the band the harder it gets.  Resistance Bands are the ONLY exercise tool that offer this.
9 Increased coordination.  Due to progressive resistance, stabilizers come into play much more.
10  Great for all fitness levels.
11 Inexpensive.  Most bands are between $20-70 for a set
12 Color-coding for the different tension levels (light, medium, heavy, very heavy)

I’ve used several different brands of bands including…
-Dick’s Sporting Goods
-Target
-Spri
-Bodylastics (you know the one’s Terrell Owens “supposedly” uses)

…however in my opinion…

Here’s why Resistance Band Training – Bands are My Favorite Resistance Bands…

1 Continuous bands.  These offer even more variety than regular bands.  A continuous band is a loop.

Resistance Bands - Continuous Loop Reds

2 Higher tension bands.  This means that ALL levels (kids, moms, elderly, & advanced athletes) will find these bands challenging.

Resistance Bands - Black Monster Minis Resistance Bands - Purples IntermediateResistance Bands - Medium

3 Training Handles.  Interchangeable to quickly add handles to ANY BAND.

Resistance Band Training Handles

4 Utility Strap.  Allow you to attach your bands to any door within seconds.

Resistance Band Utility Strap

Resistance Band Buyer’s Guide

I have been using resistance bands with my clients and myself for over 10 years.  Here’s what I recommend when you decide to purchase Resistance Bands.

1 Buy at least 3 tension levels – light, medium and heavy.  This ensures all muscle groups will have adequate resistance and continue to progress in strength.
2 Stronger bands must be bought online.  You will plateau the resistance bands you find in discount stores and local sporting good stores within the first month because of the lack of resistance.
