Kettlebells-HARD Style!
"Tyazholaya
Atletika"
Directions: Perform my
Dynamic Warm-Up exercises at
“beginning” of workout
for maximum benefit and improvement.
Pick a safe
level; never be unsafe or exceed your capacity to “control” your body!
Heavy Metal Strength...as it should be.
Comments: Like a lot of pros in my
business, I too have been "re-educated" by the simple yet effective
Russian Kettlebell (KB). It is an amazing tool. When respected
and used properly, it is also a highly effective and safe tool that will
move you better. KB strength is built on a foundation of stability.
Less efficient strength training builds strength but beyond what can be
stabilized i.e. strength that is not controlled. If you want to
build strength based on stability and control, properly use a kettlebell.
KBs are alive vs. many traditional lifts which seem
"dead" compared to the highly active KB dynamic swing patterns.
For more details, check out my handouts and recommendations below.
Kettlebells
are the real deal, but as usual, people are misusing them like other types
of exercise equipment. There is only ONE way to use a
kettlebell--the RIGHT way with ultimate respect! No matter what you
do with them, come back to the basic foundational movements and safety
then you'll be fine. I'm using them safely and effectively with my
corporate clients--so can you.
Move well Comrades...and feel
the Whole Body POWER of
Kettlebells!

Equipment: What's
the difference? Official RKC KBs from DragonDoor have thicker
handles. If you plan to get RKC certified, you need to get used to their
brand of KBs. PerformBetter KBs are fine for general use and less
expensive. Another nice alternative if you want the thicker handles
for a better price is to go through LifeLineUSA.

Buy
Kettlebells (LifeLineUSA) BEST
VALUE & Made in USA!
- This is your best choice for value and good quality. LifeLine is a great alternative if you want a
budget-minded KB with the large diameter handles for less money. The LifeLine paint is more mat and a little less quality than
DragonDoor, but not a big deal. We ordered about 50 of the LifeLine
KBs for our college football team, and they worked out great.
