EP 418: The Starting Swing Program
Pat, Som, and Aleks discuss a simple, starting program just for kettlebell swings. New eBook: Introduction to Kettlebells – Just $1 on Amazon! Recently, I wrote a short (read: 30 pages) eBook called Introduction to Kettlebells, which is now available on Amazon for a whopping — brace yourself! — $1. You can snag it here ==> https://amzn.to/2HgwJgO Short story: Introduction to Kettlebells is a quick and dirty reference guide to the core single kettlebell techniques — exercises like the swing, snatch, clean, get up, squat, etc — and a simple, 7-day training cycle for getting strong and tough. Inside the eBook are instructional pointers, pictures of each technique, and links to video tutorials. Finally, a simple and straightforward collection of workouts for improving general physical preparedness with just one kettlebell. While this eBook is aimed at beginners, I think even veterans will get something out of it, since it’s always good to brush up on technique and return to basics.

Philosophy Friday: Do The 5 Ways of St. Thomas Prove The Existence of God? ft. Gaven Kerr and Karlo Broussard (Part 1)
What follows is a 2-hour conversation with Dr. Gaven Kerr and Karlo Broussard on the famous 5 Ways of Thomas Aquinas, in which we argue their success as metaphysical demonstrations for the existence of God. In part 1, we introduce the project of natural theology, lay out the background metaphysics needed to understand each of the arguments, and then explore The 1st and 2nd Way while addressing common objections and misunderstands. Part 2 will be arriving next week, in which we'll finish our discussion of the Five Ways, consider additional objections, and further unpack the divine attributes.
