Former Pro Lineman Reveals Pain-Free KB Strength Method for People 35–65+
How to Build Up to 30 % More Strength and Noticeably More Muscle in Just 28 Days — Without Lifiting Heavier Weights or Beating Up Your Joints
From the desk of Forest Vance, M.S. Human Movement -- Former Pro Football Player • Kettlebell Coach • Over-40 Specialist
Dear Fellow Ageless Warrior,
- Do you still love training hard… but find your joints don’t love it back?
- Ever hit a great lifting streak, only to tweak your shoulder, flare up your back, or feel stiff for a week?
- Would you like to keep getting stronger, building muscle, and feeling athletic — without spending hours in the gym or risking another injury?
If you nodded yes to any of that, keep reading.
Why I Stopped Chasing “Heavy” — And Started Chasing Smart
I’ve spent decades under a bar. I respect it. But after recurrent low-back flare-ups (bulged-disc visitors that overstayed their welcome), I had a choice:
Keep going heavier and keep getting hurt, or rebuild my training around smart tension and joint-friendly progress.
I chose door #2 — and I started gaining again.
Heavy-only training outpaces recovery, spikes joint stress, and turns small aches into big layoffs. Result: you train less, you hesitate more — and progress stalls.
Solution: create a high-muscle stimulus without the joint toll.
Introducing the Ageless Warrior GAINZ Method - "Smart-Tension Kettlebell Training (STKT)"
A simple framework to stimulate muscle & strength without heavy barbells:
- Time-Under-Tension Tempos: controlled eccentrics + paused positions for big muscle stimulus at lighter loads.
- Isometric “Lock-Ins”: brief holds at strong angles hard-wire posture, core, and joint integrity.
- Density Progression: add quality reps per minute, not max load.
- Brace-First Mechanics: every session reinforces core and glute synergy to protect your back.
- Mobility Finishers: short flows that keep tissue pliable and joints happy.
Net effect: the pump, strength, and shape you want — minus the day-after limp.
What You Can Expect in 28 Days
- Noticeable muscle in shoulders, arms, back, and legs
- Strength you feel — heavier bells feel lighter, daily tasks feel easy
- Better joints — fewer flare-ups, less stiffness, more confidence
- Energy up — sessions end with gas in the tank, not exhaustion
The Program (28 Days, 3–4 Sessions/Week, 35–45 Minutes)
Phase 1 — Joint Armor & Core Control (Week 1) - Brace, hinge, and load safely; glutes “on,” back relaxed.
Phase 2 — Smart-Tension Strength (Weeks 2–3) - Tempo presses, front-loaded squats, rows, hinges, and strategic isometrics for posture & power.
Phase 3 — Density & Definition (Week 4) - Complexes and finishers that chase the pump — not the PRs.
Includes coaching videos, warm-ups, mobility flows, and clear progress targets.
What's Inside
- Exact Tempos & Holds — never guess pacing again
- Density Ladders — painless way to increase volume
- Back-Friendly Swings & Hinges — hinge hard, spare your spine
- “Armor-Up” Mobility Minis — 6–10 minute flows that keep you moving well
- Load Guide — what bells to use and when to bump
- At-Home Ready — 1–2 kettlebells + bodyweight only

"Loved the program!! I was looking for new ways to condition myself ... and found it with this program!! I will be using Forest's other programs especially for strength building!"
- Joel Robinson
"I loved this program. I can't believe it's already been four weeks. The workouts were awesome and you gave us so much great information and motivation. I lost five pounds. Endurance is hugely improved. Definite improvements in overall muscle definition. I will continue to incorporate these workouts into my trainings. Excellent format Forest, thank you!!"
- Carolyn Rudin
Probably lost some weight, definitely got some muscles... but the larger gain is that it helped me move on a different level, it could have been either physical or mental limitation, not sure ... also it is totally okay to do KB strength and this program's cardio together ... I will be doing HIIT and cardio days differently from now on :)"
- Maria Tverdostup
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How many kettlebells will I need to perform these workouts?
A: Just a couple of kettlebells are all you need. Recommended starting weights are a 16k and a 24k for men, an 8k and a 16k for women - but these suggestions could be bumped up or down based on training experience and current fitness level.
Q: Are these workouts suitable for all ages and fitness levels?
YES! I have designed the program with this specifically in mind. We have a "foundations" week before the actual program starts, specifically designed with helping you learn the kettlebell form and getting your fitness level up to speed. Then the workouts themselves are also adjustable and can be modified for all different fitness levels!
Q: I have XYZ injury - can I still do these workouts?
It depends on the injury. What I find is that most people do one of two things when they get injured: 1) stop exercising completely, or 2) keep working out, change nothing, and make the injury worse. I recommend something in between. And I try to give as many options and modifications as I can for all the exercises, so that you can adjust for your own particular situation.
