Here are FIVE (5) Ways:
1- Use the Clean PLUS some Overhead Work.
Overhead Work = Press, Push Press, Jerk.
The Clean trains the posterior chain - the muscles that run from the base of your neck to the bottoms of your feet. It also trains the upper back.
This makes you stronger and puts muscle on your back.
The Clean also ramps up your cardiovascular system.
Since it’s explosive, it makes you breathe hard.
As a result, you can burn more calories than you would during slow lifts.
The Overhead work - Press, Push Press, and Jerk - demands your shoulders, upper back (when performed correctly) and your arms do a lot of work.
Overhead work demands they get stronger - more muscular - depending on the load you use.
2- The Snatch
The Snatch is the natural result of speeding up your Clean + Press and not resting / stopping in the Rack position - at the shoulder and upper chest.
It works every muscle in your body. (Or almost.)
And because it’s explosive, it too requires a lot of effort, energy, and calories.
When using the right load, and performed for the proper sets and reps, the Snatch triggers muscle growth in the arms - upper arms and forearms, and also the upper back.
It also makes your lats stronger. As a result many guys report their Pull Ups increasing, or at least maintaining, without training them.
3- “Just Enough” Rest (a.k.a. “As Much As Necessary But As Little As Possible”)
The mistake some guys make with their kettlebell training is that they use “powerlifter rests” - long rests between sets. Like 5 minutes or more.
And that’s because we still want the heart rate elevated so that we can burn more calories both during our training sessions and after.
Generally speaking, the more reps per set, the longer the rest between sets, and vice versa.
4- Sprinkle in the Squats
Since the KB Squats - Goblet and Front - are held / supported IN FRONT of the body, the upper body is critically involved in keeping the KB(s) in position. So the shoulders, arms, and upper back - not to mention your abs - are all engaged.
And since the KB Squat family uses so many muscles, it’s “energy expensive” - once again causing you to breathe hard and burn more calories as a result.
5- Manage Your Recovery
Stomach fat is usually an indicator of higher-than-normal circulating cortisol.
So, get rid of both - stomach fat and higher-than-normal circulating cortisol levels - by doing the following:
[+] Get 7+ hours of sleep per night
[+] Shorten your training duration - 30 minutes is plenty for most guys. 45 minutes max.
[+] Watch your training frequency - 3 days is best for busy, stressed out family guys
[+] Get enough protein - which aids in rebuilding your muscle and the entire recovery process
