In this video, I’m breaking down kettlebell swings and Dr. Mike Israetel’s recent take on the “worst exercises,” giving my perspective as a strength and running coach with over a decade in the trenches.
We’ll talk about where I agree, where I don’t, and why kettlebell swings, when used correctly, are one of the most valuable tools you can have for building power and conditioning. We’ll also get into why your power to weight ratio matters more than most people realize, why BOSU balls aren’t doing your strength training any favors, and how grip strength can be a true game-changer.
I’ll cover the Turkish getup, why it’s misunderstood, and why nuance matters in every fitness conversation. Not every exercise is meant for hypertrophy, context matters. Whether you’re chasing performance, strength, or just better overall movement, the details matter more than the internet drama.
I’ve dug into the research, the biomechanics, and the practical applications, so you’ll leave this video knowing exactly when these exercises work, when they don’t, and how to program them with intent.
