Sit-Ups Aren’t Necessary to Build a Strong Core 🤯

Simply loading one side of your body while strength training will do it 🙌

And for those of you trying to lose weight on a busy schedule 👀

This is a super time efficient way to get your core work in… 💪

While working on your upper or lower body (Rather than having to train all your body parts separate)🦵

Not to mention, the carryover of this type of core strength…

Is much more practical for daily life 👌

That being said, if you found this concept interesting 🤔

Did Your Fitness Journey Start Like Mine?? 😆

If I’m being honest, to THIS DAY 📆

At least PART of the reason I train is to look good in my birthday suit 🤷‍♂️

And if you’re anything like me, the other reason is so…

You can have the strength, energy, and flexibility to do more of the activities you enjoy ⛺️ 🏄‍♂️ 🏔

With the people you enjoying doing those activities with 🙌

Oh and my method for achieving all of the above??

♦️Strength/mobility training 3x/Week 💪
♦️Eating in a non-restrictive fashion 🍱 🍦
♦️And holding myself and others accountable to their goals 🤘

If you can relate to this post, and vibe with my message… 👍

Enrollment for the Sustainable Strength Project closes TONIGHT at Midnight.

If you’re tired of...

✅ A simple nutrition plan that removes the guesswork around what to eat.

✅ A clear strength program that tells you exactly what exercises to do, when to increase the weight, and how to keep making progress.

✅ Personalized coaching every step of the way and program adjustments with each new training phase so you always know what to do next.

If you’re ready to lose 15-30 lbs, build lean muscle, and finally stop starting over...

If you’re tired of losing weight only to gain it all back...keep reading.

I have 2 coaching spots left (had 5 on Monday) for men who want to lose 15-30 lbs over the next 90 days without second-guessing every decision along the way.

If you’re tired of...

• Starting over…

• Wondering if you chose the right exercises and kettlebells for your goals.

• Cycling through fitness apps and courses without seeing the results you want

Then this might be exactly what you’ve been looking for.

Here’s what you’ll never have to wonder about again...

✅ What to eat and how much to eat to actually make progress.

✅ What exercises to do, when to increase the weight, when to back off, and how to keep making progress.

✅ When to eat less...and when to eat more...so you stop getting stuck in the lose-it, gain-it cycle.

✅ How to build lean muscle without beating up your joints.

✅ What to do when work gets busy, vacation happens, or life throws you off track...so one missed workout doesn’t turn into one missed month.

Spots are limited because I am personally working with every client I take on.

If that sounds like the kind of coaching you’ve been looking for...

Weight loss results with LESS time in the gym. 👀

That’s pretty much the idea behind the Minimum Effective Dose.

Instead of asking…

“What’s the most I can do?”

Ask…

“What’s the least I need to do to make meaningful progress?”

For most busy men over 40…

That’s three well-designed strength workouts each week, a nutrition plan they can actually stick to, and enough accountability to stay consistent.

What you end up with is 👇

✅ A sustainable approach to exercise

✅ Less time spent working out

✅ More time for your family, hobbies, and career

✅ And the kind of habits that help you keep the weight off

If you’re a busy man over 40 who’s tired of starting over…

I’m currently looking for 5 men to join my 1-on-1 coaching program, the Sustainable Strength Project.

If you lose 15+ pounds in your first 90 days, great.

If you don’t…

I’ll give you your money back.

If that sounds like the kind of coaching you’ve been looking for…

🚨 I’m opening 5 spots inside the Sustainable Strength Project this week ONLY!

But this isn’t for everyone.

The Sustainable Strength Project is 24-weeks of 1-on-1 coaching built specifically for busy men over 40 who want to lose 15-30 lbs, build lean muscle, and finally keep the weight off.

This is for you if...

❌ You’re tired of losing weight...only to gain it back.

❌ You never know if you’re eating too much, too little, or following the right workouts.

❌ You’re tired of starting over and want a plan you can actually stick with.

If that sounds like you...

Here’s how it works:

1️⃣ We remove the guesswork from your nutrition, so you know exactly what to eat.

2️⃣ We give you a clear workout plan, including what exercises to do, when to increase the weight, and how to keep progressing.

3️⃣ We show you exactly when to eat less...and when to eat more...so you stop getting stuck in the lose-it, gain-it cycle.

4️⃣ We coach you every step of the way, so when life gets busy, you know exactly how to adjust instead of starting over.

I’m only opening 5 spots because every client receives personalized coaching, feedback, and support throughout the entire program.

So if you’re ready to...

✅ Lose 15-30 lbs without giving up every food you enjoy.

✅ Build lean muscle with 3 kettlebells and 3 workouts each week.

✅ Follow a simple plan that removes the guesswork and fits real life.

This isn’t another workout program.

It’s a simple system that tells you exactly what to eat, what workouts to do, when to increase the weight, and how to keep making progress without starting over.

👉 Comment “IRON” below and let’s see if we’re a good fit.

P.S. If you don’t lose 15+ lbs in your first 90 days… I’ll give your money back.

If somebody handed me a kettlebell for the very first time and said...

“Coach, just give me four exercises to learn.”

I’d choose the exact same four every single time.

Not because they’re flashy.Not because they burn the most calories.And not because they’re the “best” exercises.

I’d choose them because they teach skills that make everything else easier later on.

The four exercises are:
Square Stance Single-Arm Row
Dead Stop Gunslinger
Single-Arm Front Squat
Single-Arm Overhead Press

On the surface, they look like four completely separate exercises.

They’re not.

Each one teaches a skill you’ll use over and over again as you become more comfortable with kettlebells.

How to hinge. How to clean the bell safely. How to stabilize your core. How to move overhead with confidence.

But there’s another reason I chose them...

And I actually think it’s the more important one.

THEY FLOW TOGETHER.

Once you learn those four movements, you can begin linking them into what’s called a kettlebell complex.

Instead of doing one exercise, Setting the bell down, Resting,
Picking it back up and Doing ANOTHER exercise...

You simply move from one movement to the next.

That one skill completely changes the way you train.

You build strength. You improve your conditioning. Your core is working the entire time.

And your workouts become incredibly time-efficient because one kettlebell can do the job of an entire gym.

That’s why I didn’t choose these exercises by accident.

I chose them because they’re the foundation for everything that comes next.

That’s why I put together this post walking through all four exercises.

👉 Save it for later.

You’ll thank yourself the next time you’re standing in your garage wondering what to do with that kettlebell staring at you like a judgmental house cat (why are cats like this?)

And one more thing...

If you’re tired of losing the same 15-20 pounds over and over again, keep an eye on my Stories Monday.

I’m opening five 1-on-1 coaching spots inside the Sustainable Strength Project, where I’ll help you build exercise and nutrition habits that fit your life, so you can stop starting over and finally keep the weight off for good. by @coachgabewest

5 Lies The Fitness Industry Keeps Telling Men Over 40 👇

Real talk.

The Fitness industry has been lying to you for decades, and the worst part is that the lies sound completely reasonable.

Let’s run through them really fast.

1️⃣ You need more workout variety.

Wrong. You need enough repetition to actually get stronger. Jumping between programs every three weeks is not training. It is just expensive confusion.

2️⃣ More workouts equal better results.

Also wrong. Three solid workouts you can actually stick to will always beat six workouts you abandon every time work gets busy or life shows up with an unexpected surprise.

Sustainability is the strategy most guys never try.

3️⃣ You have to cut carbs to lose fat.

Nope. You need a calorie deficit. Carbs are not the villain. Blaming one macronutrient is just a way to avoid doing the math that produces the results.

4️⃣ Fat loss gets harder because you are over 40.

This one is sneaky because it feels true. But it gets harder because life gets busier, recovery starts to matter more, and most guys never adjust their approach.

Your body has changed, yes. So the plan needs to grow up WITH you and adjust to those changes.

5️⃣ Motivation is what keeps people consistent.

This might be the biggest one. Motivation shows up when it wants and disappears when you need it most.

SYSTEMS are what keep you training on the days when everything else is pulling you away from it.

If you have a system for working out on the road.

A system for eating out.

A system for holidays and work events.

And a system for adjusting your workouts on your busiest days so you can do something instead of nothing…

You will stick with it long enough to see the results you’re looking for 💪

With that said, SAVE this list for the next time Instagram tries to convince you that fitness has to be complicated.

Gabe “complexity is the enemy” West

P.S. keep an eye out for next Monday… I’ll be opening 5 spots for 1:1 coaching in the Sustainable Strength Project.

Variety is Good, UNLESS… 👇

You change exercises too often.

One of the biggest mistakes I see beginners make with kettlebells is chasing variety for the sake of variety.

One day it’s goblet squats.

The next it’s front squats.

Then split squats.

Then lunges.

Then before long, you’re doing a completely different leg workout every week.

The problem?

It’s really hard to get stronger at an exercise you never spend enough time practicing.

Variety absolutely has its place.

But it should support progression, not replace it.
For example…

You might spend one training phase building strength with a single-arm front squat.

As you get stronger, you can gradually increase the sets, reps, or weight.

Eventually, you’ll reach a point where it’s time to move on.

That’s when progressing to a double kettlebell front squat makes sense because now you have the ability to challenge your legs with even more load.

The same thing goes for the goblet squat.

It’s one of my favorite exercises for learning the squat pattern and building a solid foundation before moving into more advanced variations.

Notice what didn’t happen.

You didn’t change exercises because you got bored.

You changed exercises because the next variation gave you another opportunity to keep getting stronger.

That’s purposeful variety.

The goal isn’t to do more exercises.

The goal is to make your exercises do more for you.

Master the basics.

Progress them over time.

Then introduce variety when it creates another opportunity to make progress.

Not just because you’re looking for something new.

That’s all for today.
