Greetings Kettlebell Loving Friend,
IN
I’m excited you chose me to help you move better, stronger, and even get a little leaner—so you can
move with ease on and off the mat & become the badass man, husband, and father you were called to
M
be!
Kettlebell Workout Snacks came into to solve a problem I was facing. As a husband, father, athlete, and
AM
business owner it was becoming VERY challenging to get in my own workouts.
(Many may think it’s easier for me since this is my profession—it’s not, I struggle with the same
challenges you do)
GR
I found myself only having 10-15 minutes of “free time” throughout my day (Is this you?). I could no
longer fit in my 30-45 minutes of kettlebell training, BJJ, run my businesses and still be SUPER DAD to
my kids and a desirable husband to my wife.
O
Since I could no longer balance all my spinning plates…
PR
I kinda felt like a loser and almost threw in the towel.
I knew I had to find a better way to get it all in.
C
You see, there’s no such thing as “finding balance”. We have to figure out how to manage and
HE
You don't need a whole lot of time. You can do A LOT of damage (in a good way) with one
kettlebell in 10 minutes (hello 5 minute snatch test!).
Kettlebell Workouts Snacks was designed to provide you with a glossary of quick 10-15 minute workouts
G
structured as a progressive program—for when life gets in the way and you only have well, 10-15
minutes.
N
The workouts in this ebook are simple and straight forward. I have broken them up into single

The most you will need is a pair of medium sized kettlebells, but one kettlebell will do the trick!

C
As stated, these workouts will be 10-15 minutes tops! You will need one maybe 2 kettlebells, a
HE
countdown timer, and a GREAT ATTITUDE. More than likely you will be performing as many rounds
possible (AMRAP) in the prescribed time above.
Be sure to use good form and not choose a workout above your strength or skill level. I’ve listed the
AS
Many of the programs are broken into 2 popular kettlebells programming concepts.
G
1. Complexes
2. Chains
N
Without getting all technical on energy systems and what not (which you could careless about), a
kettlebell complex is simply a series of exercises strung together by performing all the number of lifts
ST
(reps) for each exercise before moving onto the next exercise.
Example:
©
Swing x 5
Clean x 5
Press x 5
Squat x 5
Page 5
G
Why Kettlebell Complexes?
IN
Complexes are great for an individual looking to build lean muscle, strip unwanted body fat, improve
cardiovascular conditioning, and is EXTREMELY short on time!
M
Think of kettlebell complexes as your one-stop-shop for everything strength and conditioning. Plus they
give you that sense of accomplishment afterwards—always a great feeling after a tough day at the
AM
office.
Simply pull out your bells—set your timer for 10-15 minutes—do the work and BOOM—DONE!
GR
This is where we will change things up a little (aka: “specialized variety”). Using the same example
above:
O
Swing x 5
Clean x 5
Press x 5
Squat x 5
PR
C
Perform one lift of each exercise sequentially until you’ve completed the total number of lifts (reps).
Repeat this until you have completed 5 or whatever prescribed number of lifts I have for you. This
would be one chain completed—go on to perform as many chains possible in the given time frame.
AS
You see… same exercises, just different. This leads to massive strength gains and if your diet it on point,
it leads to rapid fat loss.
Chains pretty much do everything complexes can do as far as improving performance, only they are a
N
1. Chains allow you to “change things up” a bit without really having to change exercises. We call
this, “continuity of the training process”.
ST
2. Chains allow to really focus on honing your technical skill (not that complexes are not
technical) because you are slowly building the volume (reps and sets) in a ladder / pyramid

fashion.
There’s also less acidic build up (you know this as muscle burn) compared to complexes
allowing you to do a little more work.

We will now be getting double the strength, double the calorie burn, double the fat loss opportunities,
IN
and… We will do this in THE SAME TIME PERIOD!
This program we will be introducing your first “chain”… The Double Kettlebell Clean & Press
M
(DCL+MP).YEP! This baby is Pound-for-Pound the best kettlebell exercise on the planet! There are
couple variations to this exercises but this is your foundation.
AM
With the DCL+MP you get the powerful combination of a “quick pull” exercise combined with an
upper body push exercise. If you’re limited on time but your goal is to build strength, endurance and
build fat burning muscle. This is where you need to start.
GR
For an added “cardio” component and allow you to “reset”—you’ll be performing one clean in between
each press when you see “DCL+MP”.
O
This is your “CHAIN” (pg. 7). One clean, one press, one clean, one press etc… This
reduces acid build up (muscle burn) compared to consecutive presses—another benefit of adding
“chains" into your training. PR
Lets get cranking! Use a pair of bells you can press 8-10 times!
C
Strength Plan 803A
HE
One simple “tweak” you can add—to wave the intensity is move up a bell size on day 2 of each week.

front squat (FSQ). So now you’ll be getting in the 3 most crucial components of any fitness program.
IN
1. A hip hinge.
2. Upper body push
M
3. And a squat
AM
Volume in the plan will increase slightly and we will be switching to “Ladders”. Ladders are a power
programming tool to get in the same or greater total volume—allowing you to stay as fresh as possible.
GR
Weeks 1 & 3: 60 - 90 seconds between sets
Day 1: DCL+MP (1,2,3) x 3 Ladders
O
Perform 5 FSQ after each ladder

and boost your metabolism. This is what we call “Metabolic Conditioning or ‘MetCon’”—body fat
literally has NO place to hide!
IN
Your rest periods will be a “work to rest ratio (W:R)” and we will be doing a 1:3 W:R ratio.
M
Example: If the set takes you one minute to complete, you’ll rest 3 minutes (1:3).
AM
(Use a really light pair of bells on this one, you’ve been warned!)

DCL+MP x 20 seconds (here’s the chain)

You will be performing the double kettlebell snatch, one of my favs! The reason the snatch is SO
IN
effective for strength, power and especially fat loss is because you’re doing more “work”.
M
Work is defined as: Force x Distance.
Simply put, you’re doing more work by moving the kettlebell a greater distance. The
AM
further you need to move the kettlebell—the more effort and power is required.
This is the “magic” behind the kettlebell snatch—especially THE DOUBLE SNATCH!
GR
Kettlebell size recommendation: A pair of bells you can double snatch at least 10-12 times!
O
Day 1: (1,2,3) Ladders, perform as many ladders possible in 15 minutes.
Day 2: Sets of 2
Day 3: Sets of 5
PR
Weeks 2 & 4 - Set a timer for 15 minutes (10 if your in a hurry)
C
HE
Be sure to journal and track how many ladders you complete throughout this program. This way you
can reference it when you recycle the plan.
If you choose to recycle the plan. Set a goal to complete more ladders than you completed on cycle 1.
G
This is what we call “density”. Density is completing more work in the same time frame or the same
work in less time. Enjoy!

was beta tested for a new eBook and course—Kettlebell Berserk! (you can learn more about KBB here).
IN
Kettlebell Berserk! is based on the most effective—dare I say, “the MOST SINISTER” kettlebell exercise
on the planet. An exercise I call “the black belt of kettlebell lifts.”
M
Enter the Double Kettlebell Jerk
AM
The double jerk (DJK) is a high-end skill which will improve catapult your strength, endurance, power,
speed, agility, quickness and you guessed it… fat loss!
In fact…
GR
When I was preparing for the Pan American Jiu-Jitsu championship in 2012, 2013 and 2014 the double
jerk and double clean and jerk was all I did. I only lifted two days per week and was in the best
shape of my life. Not only was I in great shape—I was the most shredded and jacked I had ever
O
been, LOL.
PR
But it was REAL strength—It gave me the strength and endurance to compete with guys 40-60 pounds
heavier than I. You now have in your hands, a sneak peek of what evolved into—the EXACT plan I ran
from 2012-2014 to prepare for Jiu-Jitsu competition at the highest level.
C
I look forward to hearing about your results!
• Day 2 - Strength/Power
AS
• Day 3 - Endurance
Weeks 1 & 3 - Endurance Straight Sets
G
Day 1: Sets of 6
N
Day 2: Sets of 4 (This day you will use a pair of bells one size heavier)
RO
Day 3: Sets of 8
Day 2: (3, 5) Ladders (This day you will use a pair of bells one size heavier)
**Set a timer for 15 minutes (10 if you have less time) and perform as many sets
or ladders possible. If you don’t like yourself, run ETDK as a long cycle ;)

the past 9 months. Simple Muscle is a simple 4 week plan focused on building well, muscle—using the 3
most effective exercises for putting on slabs of mass: press, squat, and deadlift.

A Note on Nutrition

If you’re trying to put on muscle, you NEED TO EAT! Plan your carbs around your training sessions.
Shoot for 50g before and 50g post workout. Best carbs to assist in packing on slabs of beef: white rice,

time". This is made possible by the power and effectiveness of the mighty kettlebell!
Speaking of workouts—do you know this difference between a “workout” and a “program”?
IN
A workout is simply what the word entails, you’re “working yourself out”. The sole purpose of a
workout is to burn calories—that’s it!
M
And there is absolutely nothing wrong with a workout. Workouts are great when you just need to
AM
“blow off some steam”, let out some frustration, and say to yourself, “At least I did something.”
GR
A program on the other hand—has a purpose, a goal, and ends with a result.
Like:
O
• Lifting “X” amount of weight
PR
• Losing 3 pounds a week, etc… (more on that here)
• Learn how to balance your training to improve how you show up as a man.
Programs are more structured than workouts but—are tough to stick with if you can’t fully commit
C
because of a busy travel schedule as an example. That’s where workouts come in handy.
HE
You’re getting the best of both worlds. You can follow them from start to finish and see fantastic results
from fat loss to a boost in strength and performance. Or you can simply pick one of your favorite days
