Nick B asked:


I’m 16, male, 5′9, 160 pounds. Around 12 percent body fat last time I checked… I’m trying to get into MMA, I have really good stand up, but my ground game sucks. My motivation for all this training is that I want/need to get bigger and stronger, faster, more explosive, etc etc.. What is better train with, dumbbells or kettlebells? What are some exercises for me to do with them? Thanks for the help guys

I was researching a bit, and I figured out some good exercises for six pack, etc…I am not overweight, but I definitely am not skinny….I have about 15-20% Body Fat…so my question….could I get some nice looks with good cardio and core exercises…about 1 hr a day? I am also getting a medicine ball, stability ball, kettlebell, and resistance bands to work with….now, I dont wanna get too buffish like this:

just like the two links above…Thanks. BTW…I have no gym to go to, just bodyweight, and the above listed materials I will be getting….
I also have a stationary bike and a gazelle (the equipment, not the animal).
And I have a lot of room to run if need be…got a whole forest path in my town.
hey…not true, I found many ways to….just seeing what you recommend…about an hour a day of cardio, and core exercises should do it
untrue….many people look like that with exercise….

Yeah, I’m also starting to aim for about 1500-2000 calories a day.
Also, for nice pecs (not huge and buffish), are some kettlebell swings, resistance bands, and pushups enough? Thanks again. And…when I do ab and cardio stuff, will that v-shape leading to the groin area automatically show…?

Now i’m in pretty good shape. i run, lift weights, use kettlebells and all sorts of misc. equipment and also partake in MMA. I know that changing your body is 70-80% nutrition while the rest is training, but why do so many people, especially on here, not know that the key to all the questions about how can i change my body?, omg im so fat!, how do i lose my belly fat?,etc, is just the simple answer of eat more nutritious foods and exercise more while eating more smaller meals throughout the day? is that such a hard answer for many to comprehend?

Matt asked:


I’m 22 years old 5′7 175lbs. I’m trying to get back in shape for the Army’s OCS(Officer Canidate School). I just started kettlebell training. I’d like to drop around 15 pounds and gain some strength as well. How long should i train every day with the kettlebell? what are the main exercises i should focus on? Any guidance is appreciated!
