      @@williamward7801 I see your point here, but armor building complex is one single complex. Iron cardio is a chain of movements that you choose that day and keep 5 reps or under. One day it could be a clean press squat snatch, the next time it could be heavier single kettlebell clean press squat, the next time maybe you decide to mix it up and do a swing, clean, press, squat, snatch. It's less rigid and more intuitive than armor building complex. You really can't go wrong with either.

    Ok I've tried this a few rounds of 4 weeks periods. Absolutely fantastic. My favourite combo is:
    Double kb clean press squat and one pull up for every 70ish seconds. For about 20 mins. Then I finish by 3x2 TGU one on every minute and some loaded carry.
    I checked with a heart rate monitor. My HR stays on about 125 throughout the workout which is in my low intensity cardio range ✅
    Guys! This program delivers! You feel awesome when it's finished, full body activation and I'm obviously getting stronger. I will come back to it from time to time for sure.

    Very new to kettle bells been doing a great routine but this seems better.
    So my understanding is you do clean , press , squat for 5 reps the rest for 30secs then carry on for 20 minute or 20 sets.
    New to training was doing normal weights but that area is always busy then saw no one was using the kettle bells found some workouts and i love it , I would say it's even fun. Never thought I would say that about working out. Great content.

More than one health and longevity expert recommends 3 hours of level 2 heart rate training a week.

      Quick and the Dead, Iron Cardio, and now AXE are all forms of anti-glycolysis training. It focus on 2 energy system pathways using creatine phosphate (power) and aerobic (endurance). Glycogen ie running the 400 meters and wrestling for 2 minute rounds can wreak havoc on your body doing it OFTEN, I would argue occasionally it would test your mettle (SFG snatch test or a wrestling match/hard run from a bear, etc). These programs do deliver and you won’t be missing achy muscles, feeling exhausted/hungry and abusing caffeine to get through the day.

      @@JohnRhodes-lv3rg Thanks. Been experimenting with own system. I now have a 17 mile commute to work on my bike through a national park. Zone 2, baby! I feel great. Q&D doesn’t leave me with this wholesome feeling. That and the consensus among many longevity experts tells me that this 57-year-old needs to zone 2 it as a staple. However, I would like my zone two to hit full ranges of motion. The bike is so knee and quad dominant. I need that ground contact, hip mobility, and scrambling to keep my mobility. I see a need for an amazing obstacle course.

    Hi there.
    Thanks for the great work.
    I have a question about programming the training.
    I was kind of lost to start.
    So i found de Lebe Stark channel, wich says training must be real simple.
    So the training format is :
    3 kettlebell exercices for 2 min unbroken, and 1 min rest. Repeat 4 times.
    It gives quite a lot of volume compared to what your programms seams to be.
    So for the moment i stick with 6kg and 8kg Kettlebells, otherwise i would burn.
    What do you think about it? Thank you very much as I am kind of loft about how I should train.
    Cheers from France.

    What are your thoughts on taking this template:

    Press 1, 2, 1, 1
    Squat 1, 1, 2, 1
    Snatch 1, 1, 1, 2
    and adding pullups to it? (I have to do pullups)
    Clean 2, 1, 1, 1, 1
    Press 1, 2, 1, 1, 1
    Squat 1, 1, 2, 1, 1
    Snatch 1, 1, 1, 2, 1
    Pullup 2, 2, 2, 2, 4
    or something similar? I have already been doing Armor Building Complex for about a year off and on and I always add pullups, even sometimes sandbag shouldering and dips to that.
    EDIT: another question is how do you think this method would be at improving your press strength? For example if I am using 24s and 26s, but my goal is to be able to do 30 rounds with the 32s, is this a good option for that increase?
