The Towel Swing

by admin on July 19, 2018

A common problem people have with the kettlebell swing is using their arms too much.

The Towel Swing is a great drill to fix this issue.

I learned it from Pavel at the first RKC cert I attended in 2009.

By swinging the KB with a towel through the handle, it gives you instant feedback on if you are using your upper body instead of your hips to drive the weight up. It also helps you get the “feel” for how to fix it.

Here’s how to do the drill:

1 – Loop a towel through the handle of the ‘bell as shown in the picture below:

2 – Swing the kettlebell!

3 – The goal is to use your hips to drive the weight up, which will make the the KB to “float” at the top, like so:

If you are using too much upper body, the ‘bell will “droop” down, like the pic below (NOT what you want):

Try this drill, and then immediately afterwards, go back and do some regular swings.

You will be surprised at how this simple drill gives you feedback, helps you use your legs, and improves your form almost instantly.

most dangerous KB training mistake? (pic)

by admin on July 18, 2018

You probably already know that training with kettlebells is a great way to increase power and strength while burning fat.

There’s even research behind kettlebell training – swings have been shown to burn up to 20 calories per minute!

HOWEVER – the truth is – with all the benefits KBs provide, comes with a risk. Newbies can seriously injure themselves if they don’t pay proper attention to form and programming.

The pic below is a great example of one of the most dangerous KB training mistakes - swinging the kettlebell too close to the ground (this is actually a screenshot from a workout video done by very well-known personal trainer – scary, right?)

That’s why I’m proud to introduce my program, The Top 13 Kettlebell Training Mistakes … and How to Fix Them!

[video] KB Exercise for Abs – the Renegade Row

by admin on July 2, 2018

When most people think of training their abs, they think of crunches or sit ups.

But these moves are NOT the best way to train your abs.

Your abs function primarily as a STABILIZER during functional movements … and so if we can use exercises that train them this way, we are going to get better results in terms of carry over into sports performance, and every day life.

Today’s move is called the Renegade Row, and it’s an awesome kettlebell exercise for abs.

Here’s how to do it:

- Grab two kettlebells of the same size.
- (KBs with a small rubber base do not work great for this exercise. You need to be confident in being able to balance all of your weight on a single KB and one hand.)
- Practice shifting your weight back and forth on the ‘bell to get the feel for the movement. (this little drill will help a lot!)
- Add a row to the movement when you are ready.
- (optional) Add a push up on each rep to add difficulty.

Incorporate this kettlebell exercise for abs into your training plan today!

Clean – Squat – Press – Snatch Kettlebell Complex

by admin on June 29, 2018

This is one of my all-time favorite KB complexes.

Be sure to do your tissue quality / mobility + flexibility warm – up … and maybe practice your KB form before you go into the workout full blast … then simply do:

- 1 clean
- 2 squat to overhead presses
- 3 snatches

5-10 times on each arm (depending on your goals and current fitness level); take as much rest as needed to use good form.
