From Hector’s article: “Today, strength training with kettlebells has become mainstream, but here’s what no one is talking about: 

The invisible aspects of strength training. The ones responsible for providing the results you’re not even aware of. 

This is because upstream decisions are intangible, while downstream decisions are more measurable.

If you don’t know what you're looking for, the downstream effects could bite you in the…well, you know where.

Since 2011, I’ve been teaching a series of “Upstream Strength Strategies” to private students at our gym, the Hardstyle Fitness Academy.

The results have been jaw-dropping.

We’ve seen deadlifts increase from as little as 30lb in 8 weeks to 110lb in 12 months.

Keep in mind, these are busy moms and dads, just regular Joes and Janes like you and me.

I personally took a 475lb ten rep max (10RM) in the deadlift to a 505lb 10RM in four weeks lifting nothing heavier than 415lb.”
