Hey Samantha. Yes, these workouts can be a bit deceptive LOL

As for my deadlift assistance work – I usually train full body when I go to lift heavy. So, when I am strength training I’ll do a squat movement, 1 or 2 hip dominant movements, an upper body push and pull. For the hip dominant exercises, it could be a DL, a hip thrusts, good-mornings, or cable pull throughs. I might do front squats, hip thrusts then super set bench press and pull ups. Or back squat, military press and single arm row. These, I have found very good combos.

Hope this helps!

Hi Marianne
I did this workout after I did my strength workout for the day. Today was bench day. I am doing the 5/3/1 program of Wendler (or is it Weidler lol) w/ my husband. I did the work sets ( im up to 105 for my one rep! yea!) and then 5 sets of 10 of benching 55lbs alternating w/ 25lb kb one arm rows. I was tired after this but figured i needed some cardio. Let me tell you– I was ready to puke after your workout! Evil jumps!?!?!? and burpees!?!?!? OMG. I started keeping track of reps then i just gave up somewhere in the second round so i could actually rest during my breaks. I was also curious what you do for assistance work when your main lift is deadlift? I’ve been keeping it simple w/ hanging leg raises but would like to try other things.
Thanks for a great workout,
Samantha

In reply to Hannah. This is great Hannah! I love that you realise you are capable of more! I hear this all the time from people who have maybe realised they've been coasting. Great job! Keep progressing! :)

Hi Marianne,

Just found your website and love it. I have used similar websites in the past and it’s great to find another alternative! I love that you’re very down to earth and clearly incredibly fit! I have 1 KB that weights 8kg and after watching your videos I’ve realised I’m being a bit lame and haven’t been pushing myself! I’m going to order a heavier today!

I just did one of your bodyweight workouts and I’m dripping with sweat, it was great! Keep up the good work!

Hannah.

Hi Marianne,
Came to your site via Bret Contreras. I read your story and I am incredibly impressed, proud (of your spirit) & humbled by what you are doing. I have my fair share of physiological issues and it gives me a lot of encouragement that you have overcome yours and look beautiful and full of health & vitality whilst also doing an incredibly demanding job. Gives me a reality check and shows me there is a hope. I have shown your site to a number of my family & friends who have issues from Spondylosis, Chronic Back/Knee Pain etc etc to show them what can be done if you put your mind to it.
Thank you so much. Keep up the good work!

Hi Marianne,

I am one of the few male visitors to your website:)

You’re right with the statement that full body workouts are appropriate in order to lose weight.

I have been training for six months with kettlebells. Actually, I work only two exercises.
Snatch and Jerks the classic competition kettlebell exercises. Sometimes a few OA swings or squats. With these two exercises, I was able to achieve good results.

These two exercises are very demanding, so I’ve booked a personal trainer.
Personal Training is for me the best way to achieve quick results.

How do you find the exercises Snatch and Jerk.

Greetings from Germany

Mathias

In reply to MoMo. Full body conditioning workouts are best for most people. If someone wants to build overall fitness, it's best to use the whole body together. If someone wants to lose body fat, then full body workouts burn more calories. I also do these full body workouts because most of my viewers are female and GENERALLY (hate making generalisations, but this one is true), women get better results from these types of workouts AND they recovery quicker from heavy training. Of course there are exceptions to this. If I did split workouts, then I think I would do it for strength training, rather than conditioning. Tough to get the balance right. MoMo, are you male or female? What are your goals?
