How often do you see something that needs to be fixed, but instead of fixing it, you respond:

“Not my job”?

This happens at work. You’re getting paid to do a certain job. Someone else is getting paid to do what you see needs fixing – so why should you fix it?

“Not my job.”

At home; your partner cooks, you do dishes. Your partner cleans the bathroom, you chop the firewood. Bathroom’s dirty and your partner’s busy.

“Not my job.”

In society; walking into a business, a piece of garbage on the ground in front of the door, you step over it.

“Not my job.”

Walking into the grocery store, shopping carts all over the parking lot. You ignore them.

“Not my job.”

You complain about the service.

“Not my job.”

At a friend’s house, the toilet paper roll is empty.

“Not my job.”

With every “Not my Job” comes positioning yourself above someone else. At work, every “Not my Job” means making yourself more important than the mission.

Positioning yourself above another or above the mission …. both involve internal conflict and a decision.

Right before you decide to not “fix it,” part of you knows that you should. This is the virtuous part of you, and you must consciously push this part of you aside to arrive at “Not my job.”

This shove wounds you, if even slightly. It’s a self-inflicted wound.

As a business owner and my own boss for over 20 years, at work at least, I’ve never had to make this decision. No matter what the task – super risky financial decision or swabbing the toilet, it is always my job.

Outside work – at home, in society – I’m in the same lot as most. Often not fixing stuff, and justifying it with, “Not my job.”

With age has come humility, or more accurately, an enlightening realization of how damn unimportant I am. More and more, when I see something that needs fixing, I just fix it.

I don’t fix it mad at another because I’m doing his or her job, or because it’s the right thing to do, or to make myself look good.

I fix it to avoid the conflict and the decision and the self-inflicted wound.

Surprisingly and best of all, I’ve discovered that “Fixing It” is powerfully liberating.

No more internal conflict. No more being mad at someone else. No more aggrandizing myself. No more tortured decision.

See something that needs fixing? Fix it.

Clean and crisp with perfect clarity.

So Liberating!

Try it. You’ll see.

Rope Climb

By far, the classic rope climb is my favorite upper body “pull” exercise.

There is so much involved with a rope climb – upper body pull strength, bicep/arm strength, grip strength, coordination, athleticism, and most of all, grit and tenacity. If you are hesitant or passive, the rope pushes you.

The rope climb is truly a total body exercise. My original lab rat, and now gym owner and coach, Josh Rempel, called the rope climb the “sled push for the upper body.”

The rope climb is the single upper body exercise I genuinely fear – it’s just so hard. Superset rope climbs with front squats, or back squats or power cleans,  – and you have a powerful, total body circuit.

The Double Eagle, Rope Climb superset, especially, is one of my favorite total body supersets as a coach, and least favorite as an athlete. Killer!

I also remember programming a work capacity event for myself and older lab rats of sandbag getups, burpees, and a rope climb. The getups and burpees were easy compared to the rope climb!

Another “nightmare” work capacity I recall involved a weight vest, 800m run, power cleans and a rope climb. Again, the run and power cleans were the easy part.

At MTI we have an 18-foot ceiling and use 1.5″ manila climbing ropes and have worn out several climbing ropes over the years.

Pull Up

There are several pull up variations we deploy, but the classic palms-away-from the face pull up is my favorite. It’s the most transferable to the real world, the hardest, and done strict, is brutal in its strength building ability.

Over the years we’ve studied the hell out of pull ups and how to improve them and as a result developed multiple progressions … volume, density, weight, eccentric, etc.

Few are “naturals” at this exercise. Women, especially, struggle, but many men do also. I’ve personally found push ups much easier than pull ups.

Renegade Row

These are quickly evolving into one of my favorite upper body pull exercises. Whereas the rope climb and pull ups are “vertical” pulling movements, Renegade Rows are a horizontal pulling movement.

We deploy several other horizontal pulling exercises – including horizontal pull ups, standing, kneeling and sitting rope pulls, barbell and dumbbell bent over rows, 1 and 2-arm horizontal ring rows and even reverse bench presses.

But I favor the Renegade Row most of all – it’s simple, has a total body element with the core rotation and anti-rotation work, and is easy to progress with reps or loading (heavier dumbbells).

I first began using this exercise when working with kayakers during their late-Spring, pre-season train up. Every kayak stroke involves a single arm push on the paddle with one hand, a single-arm pull on the paddle with the other hand, and anti-rotation and rotational core strength between the two. To match this movement in the gym we combined Renegade Rows with Kettlebell Floor Presses in mean, high-rep, density programming. Not only did these help my kayakers prepare for the season, they all got jacked upper bodies because of all the pressing and pulling. The old meatheads in the gym, myself included, were jealous!

Above: Veteran MTI Lab Rats, Cody and James crank through some heavy 2-handed kettlebell clean + squat + strict press – one of the exercises we deploy in our new programming.

By Rob Shaul, Founder

Over the course of three weeks, I’ve had MTI’s Lab Rats, myself included, testing and developing our new kettlebell/dumbbell strength programming.

Background

MTI currently offers several Kettlebell/dumbbell-specific training plans, including the 3 Stooges Packet and the Kettlebell Strength Training Plan.

For the strength progressions in these training plans, we’ve taken one of our 7 existing strength progressions built around barbells and applied it to kettlebells and dumbbells.

For example, we a modified version of our TLU Strength Progression for the Kettlebell Strength Plan, and use a modification of our Big 24 strength progression for the strength work in “Moe”, from the 3 Stooges Packet.

The trick with developing strength work for kettlebells and/or dumbbells is unlike a barbell, it’s often difficult to work up to a 1 Repetition Maximum on a particular lift. As well, if the athlete is completing a 2-handed exercise, the weight jump in kettlebells is approximately 16 pounds, and dumbbells, 10 pounds – unlike a barbell, which can be increased in 5-pound increments using 2.5 pounds plates.

Also – the single limb element of kettlebells/dumbbells simply makes them “heavier” than a barbell. For example, I can easily do a hang squat clean with a 145 pound barbell, but don’t ask me to try to do the same with a pair of 32kg kettlebells (approx 144 pounds total) or a pair of 75# dumbbells …. I’d get worked!

Finally – while some gyms will have pairs of dumbbells in excess of 100 pounds, few gyms have kettlebells heavier than 32kg – my gym included! What this means is some big, strong athletes could simply run out of weight for 1-3 Repetition Maxes.

For these reasons, it’s simply more complicated to use dumbbells or kettlebells to build strength the way we do with the simple barbell.

Pivot from “Max Effort” Strength to “Working Strength”

In developing this new theory, I wanted to cast aside the idea of taking one of our proven barbell strength progressions and modifying it slightly for kettlebells and dumbbells. 

The primary goal of our barbell-based strength progressions is to increase an athlete’s “Max Effort” strength. Max Effort Strength is the max weight an athlete can lift for 1 rep on any given exercise.

But Max Effort Strength is not the only type of strength. Under my programming approach, we also have strength endurance (think high-rep bodyweight stuff), brute strength (strength in the real world), strongman strength (sandbags, sleds, tires, etc.), relative strength (strength per bodyweight) and, finally, working strength.

“Working Strength” is a unique concept to MTI – I’ve never seen another coach use this term or idea.

We define “working strength” as the ability to lift a high percentage of your 1RM for a certain exercise, multiple times, or a few times, but for multiple sets.

Over the years we’ve found that the higher an athlete’s “training age” – or years he/she has been training, generally, the greater his or her working strength.

To best explain this concept, I’ll use an example from several years back when we were still Mountain Athlete.

My assistant coach at the time was John Murie – who is an excellent Olympic Weightlifting Coach, and very strong in the Oly lifts, and interning for us was Beau Burgener – who’s Dad, Mike Burgener, is the leading Oly instructor for CrossFit. Beau himself was a Junior National Champion Oly Weightlifter.

I’ve always used myself, assistant coaches and interns, as “lab rats” and this day was no different. I was curious about how long it would take to complete 50x Barbell Burpees at a load of 135# for men.

Each Barbell Burpee includes a power clean and a push press,. Suffice to say that both John and Beau had 1RM power cleans and push presses much heavier than mine! My guess is that Beau could have managed 225 pounds plus for a 1RM Power Clean + Push Press with John not far behind in the 190-pound plus range.

The push press always gets me on this exercise, and my max ever power clean + push press is an “ugly” 175# or so.

So – high rep Barbell Burpees at 135# was using a load at a higher percentage of my 1RM than John or Beau’s.

But I had training age on them – I was 20+ years older than both, and had that training time in the gym.

Long story short, we started the effort and I managed to finish first – despite being far weaker in terms of max effort strength. How? …. I had a greater working strength, and this effort, 50x Barbell Burpees @ 135#, was a working strength challenge.

Back to dumbbells and kettlebells …. as I was developing this new theory I decided to pivot from max effort strength to working strength and for inspiration, I looked at some of the “Hard Style” kettlebell training books in my strength and conditioning library – specifically a couple from Pavel Tsatsouline.

Interestingly, Pavel’s set/rep scheme progressed the reps, not the weight. For example,

3 Rounds
3x 2-Handed Kettlebell Front Squat @ 20kg

Assume the athlete got all 3 rounds of 3 reps unbroken.

The next progression looks like this:

3 Rounds
5x 2-Handed Kettlebell Front Squat @ 20kg

Once he/she can get all of these rounds unbroken, the next progression again increases the reps per set and total volume, not load:

3 Rounds
7x 2-Handed Kettlebell Front Squat @ 20kg

Once all rounds/reps were completed unbroken – then you re-set the progression with a heavier load and repeat. So ….

3 Rounds
3x 2-Handed Kettlebell Front Squat @ 24kg,

Then ….

3 Rounds
5x 2-Handed Kettlebell Front Squat @ 24kg,

Then …

3 Rounds
7x 2-Handed Kettlebell Front Squat @ 24kg,

I deployed the same general approach but used 6 Rounds and acknowledged that even with a warm up, once into the strength circuit, it will take athletes a couple rounds to work up to their “working load.” I also manipulated some the reps per round, based on the exercise – for example, a total body exercise like a kettlebell/dumbbell Craig Special has fewer prescribed reps per round than a kettlebell/dumbbell front squat.

Here is an example of the set/rep scheme I went with:

Week 1:

(1) 6 Rounds
4x Kettlebell/Dumbbell Front Squat – increase load rapidly each round and aim to get at your “hard but doable” load by round 3, and us this load “across” rounds 3-6

Week 2:

(1) 6 Rounds
5x Kettlebell/Dumbbell Front Squat – increase load rapidly each round and aim to get at your “hard but doable” load by round 3, and us this load “across” rounds 3-6

Week 3:

(1) 6 Rounds
6x Kettlebell/Dumbbell Front Squat – increase load rapidly each round and aim to get at your “hard but doable” load by round 3, and us this load “across” rounds 3-6

The goal here is that the athlete will ideally use the same load for each week for rounds 3-6. Even though the load is the same, the effort is greater as the reps per set increases weekly

Week 4:  … Reset the progression ….

(1) 6 Rounds
4x Kettlebell/Dumbbell Front Squat – increase load rapidly each round and aim to get at your “hard but doable” load by round 3, and us this load “across” rounds 3-6

Week 5:

(1) 6 Rounds
5x Kettlebell/Dumbbell Front Squat – increase load rapidly each round and aim to get at your “hard but doable” load by round 3, and us this load “across” rounds 3-6

Week 6:

(1) 6 Rounds
6x Kettlebell/Dumbbell Front Squat – increase load rapidly each round and aim to get at your “hard but doable” load by round 3, and us this load “across” rounds 3-6

The goal here is with the drop in reps per round in Week 4, the athlete will be able to increase the kettlebell/dumbbell size/weight – for example, go from 20kg to 24kg …. and still make all the reps across the progressions. In this way – by keeping the reps the same, but increasing the load, I hope to train “working strength”.

Using Level Changes to Chose Exercises

In building each strength session, I moved from thinking about body parts, to thinking about level changes and choreographed the exercises in each session to move from …. squatting to standing … to …. standing to overhead … to …. ground to standing …. to ground to overhead.

Using this level change approach, I designed two strength training sessions:

SESSION 1
Obj: Strength

Warm up:
2 Rounds

• 10x Goblet Squats @ 12kg
• 10x Hand Release Push ups
• 10x Swings @ 12kg
• Instep Stretch
• Lat + Pec Stretch

Training:
(1) 6 Rounds

• 4x Kettlebell/Dumbbell Front Squat – increase load rapidly each round and aim to get at your “hard but doable” load by round 3, and us this load “across” rounds 3-6
• 2/4x Pull Ups

(2) 6 Rounds

• 4x 1-Arm Kettlebell/Dumbbell Press – increase load rapidly each round and aim to get at your “hard but doable” load by round 3, and us this load “across” rounds 3-6
• 3/6x Chin Ups

(3) 6 Round

• 4x 2-Handed Kettlebell/Dumbbell Clean – increase load rapidly each round and aim to get at your “hard but doable” load by round 3, and us this load “across” rounds 3-6
• 4x Renegade Row @ 25/35#

(4) 6 Round

• 4x 2-Handed Kettlebell/Dumbbell Clean + Strict Press – increase load rapidly each round and aim to get at your “hard but doable” load by round 3, and us this load “across” rounds 3-6
• Hip Flexor Stretch

(5) 6 Rounds

• 1x Corrective Getup – increase load each round and aim to get at your “hard but doable” load by round 3, and us this load “across” rounds 3-6
• 1/2x Mixed Grip Pull Up

Comments: “Grind” Through these circuits. Unlike many of our strength circuits, most of these today don’t include “working rest” in the form of a stretch or mobility drill. Work steadily, but not frantically. Most important is to get up heavier weight. Working steadily and with purpose, you should be able to finish this training session in 60-65 minutes.

SESSION 2
Obj: Strength

Warm up:
2 Rounds

• 10x Goblet Squats @ 12kg
• 10x Hand Release Push ups
• 10x Swings @ 12kg
• Instep Stretch
• Lat + Pec Stretch

Training:
(1) 6 Rounds

• 2x Dumbbell/Kettlebell Craig Special – increase load rapidly each round and aim to get at your “hard but doable” load by round 3, and us this load “across” rounds 3-6
• 2/4x Pull Ups

(2) 6 Round

• 8x Kettlebell Floor Press– increase load rapidly each round and aim to get at your “hard but doable” load by round 3, and us this load “across” rounds 3-6
• 3/6x Chin Ups

(3) 6 Round

• 4x 2-Handed Kettlebell/Dumbbell Clean – increase load rapidly each round and aim to get at your “hard but doable” load by round 3, and us this load “across” rounds 3-6
• 4x Renegade Row @ 25/35#

(4) 6 Round

• 2x 2-Handed Kettlebell hang Squat Clean + Push Press– increase load rapidly each round and aim to get at your “hard but doable” load by round 3, and us this load “across” rounds 3-6
• Hip Flexor Stretch

(5) 6 Rounds

• 1x Corrective Getup – increase load each round and aim to get at your “hard but doable” load by round 3, and us this load “across” rounds 3-6
• 1/2x Mixed Grip Pull Up

Comments: “Grind” Through these circuits. Unlike many of our strength circuits, most of these today don’t include “working rest” in the form of a stretch or mobility drill. Work steadily, but not frantically. Most important is to get up heavier weight. Working steadily and with purpose, you should be able to finish this training session in 60-65 minutes.

Notes: You’ll see I replaced the mobility stretches common in many of our strength circuits with some type of upper body pull exercises (with the exception of Part (4)). You’ll also see each session finishes with a Corrective Getup exercise – a true “ground to overhead” movement.

Summary

It took me the better part of 2 weeks to refine the exercises and round/rep schemes, but by Week 3, myself and the other Lab Rats, working steadily, were able to grind through these sessions in 60 minutes.

The single limb work with a few of these exercises, and simply the more dynamic nature of kettlebells/dumbells really works the midsection during these training sessions and demands chassis integrity. The strict, Corrective Getup, finisher at the end really brings it all together – strength, mobility, fluidity, movement, body tension, and chassis integrity.
