Why Guys DON’T Get Stronger — Even when they’re using the “Right” program…? — PART 2
Use this for the single kettlebell exercise techniques.
And use this for double kettlebell lifts techniques.

And if you want the “ultimate blend” of strength, power & conditioning, use this program.
Following the “right” strength program but still not getting stronger?
The program might not be the problem.
In Part 2, I break down two more reasons guys struggle to get results from proven programs: **poor technique and choosing the wrong starting weights.**
Because even a well-designed program can fall short when you don’t execute the lifts correctly or use weights suited to the program.
In this video, I’ll explain:
- **Why proper technique matters:** How structural integrity, leverage, and muscle recruitment affect your ability to produce force efficiently.
- **The kettlebell pressing mistake that can make you weaker:** Why your wrist position matters, and how to use the overgrip, also known as the Boxer’s Wrist.
- **Why copying someone else’s technique isn’t always enough:** Learn general technique first, then adapt it to your individual leverage.
- **How to choose the right starting weight:** Why using a weight that’s too heavy or too light can undermine your results.
- **What 5RM and 10RM actually mean:** How to choose weights based on the number of reps you can perform before your technique breaks down.
- **The difference between 5RM and 10RM programs:** How they can emphasize maximum strength, muscle development, or conditioning, depending on how you structure your training.
You don’t always need a new program.
Sometimes, you need to get more out of the one you’re already using.
Learn the technique. Choose the appropriate weights. Stop guessing, and start training with a purpose.
Stay Strong,
Geoff Neupert.
