You’ve touched on an issue I’ve had with (especially early morning classes. Not just kettle bells). Multiple stations with complex/odd variations of exercises. It’s like a cognition test. And I’m always failing. How about three stations with three straight forward exercises at 5:30 A.M.?

@jazzmonk5670 11 ай бұрын

@@kevinherlihy9471 IMO… 3 exercises, 5-8 sets each, short breaks, executed with acute focus and extreme intensity will actually accomplish more than 7 exercise variations performed casually and poorly. In my experience, short and focused training sessions are actually tougher than a 45 min. to 1 hour training session. Whenever I’m running behind schedule, I’ll train for about 20-30 minutes; focused, controlled, and intensity. And let me tell you, I’m literally torched! 🥵 Another one me of my favorite training sessions, bench press, bent over rows, and deadlifts. Again, performed with focus and intensity. Another variation, Push Ups, Pull Ups, and kettlebell swings, 20 reps each, 5-7 sets. Try it sometime… you’ll hate me, but you’ll love the results!😂 I hope this helps.

Is there a 'wrist specific grip ' that we can adopt ? Can you elaborate or make a future video on the drop to catch phase of snatch and clean where most of us get blisters during an improper transition into a hook grip(pinching issues). I follow Vasilev's grip technique and have found it optimal but a little bit more technical than other styles. I was wondering if the thickening of blisters is what makes us resilient overtime or not getting them at all in the first place by adapting a picture perfect technique.

@lebe-stark 3 жыл бұрын

Great comment right there! You definitely follow the right person with Vasilev; I've learned a lot from him too. He even says in this instagram post - instagram.com/p/B9pXBLyJDh5/ - "As more precise will be your catch on the drop as better your hands will feel." Basically I believe it's both. The thickening of the blisters plus better technique. Great input for a video; thank you for the engaging comment! - Gregory

@vincent6210 3 жыл бұрын

@@lebe-stark Yeah that post definitely gives us the answer that it's going to be both. I've noticed as I go heavier in weight I have to be very technical and attentive of the catch phase. As I get used to the heavier weights, the blisters problem stops when I go back to lighter weight proving that my grip strength is enhanced and the drop phase feels more easier to get into than before. Thanks for the workouts man!

Yo! The beginning of the video had me cracking up laughing! LOL! I was surprised that you had Halo’s as useless (though it makes sense and agree with you). I’ve been doing kettlebells off and on for close to 10 years now, and most older video’s make Halo’s on essential warm-ups (my first intro to KB was with Michael Skoggs and Skoggs workout video). How do you feel about body circles and figure 8’s? Would you consider those moves useful or useless (I always did Halo’s, body circles and figure 8’s for warm-ups)? Thanks for the video.

@lebe-stark 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the great feedback! :) I think Halos can be beneficial in many cases. However, we've seen that many of our clients lack shoulder stability and mobility as Beginners. Some even have trouble getting the kinesthetics right. In the video, I'm clearly stating that I'm talking about exercises for Beginners to keep this in mind. "Around the world (or around the body)" and "Figure 8s' are cool and at the same time, probably not perfectly made for Beginners. We believe that the secret to improve body composition, fitness and mastery of kettlebell training lies in the staple exercises such as Swings, Cleans, Presses, Jerks, Squats etc. I hope this helps! - Gregory

Simple and Sinister recommends the halo for warmups. Not every beginner has shoulder problems. Just use a lighter weight if you are struggling why recommend different exercises?. I think even simple and sinister book makes this point. The curl is included in the simple and sinister prying goblet squat. The book even quotes Jack Reape as saying that squat curls are only curls he does. Simple and Sinister recommends only two lifts the Swing and the Deadlift (other than these 2 lifts in the warmup).

This makes the kettlebell a great tool since the majority of people want to loose weight, get in better shape and maybe have underlying issues with their body. The prices of kettlebels will come down after the covid surge so this argument won't stand the test of time. - Gregory

@@lebe-stark First, my comments are based on pre-covid prices. Rate now prices are crazy and my recommendation is don't buy any equipment unless one is sure the price is fair. I know your claims about the ballistics of kb's is the marketing sound bite, but you're going to have to show me research on that one. For the sake of this discussion let's say it's true. There are a number of variables that affect the items you site, and they can be manipulated to off-set any benefits kb's might offer as compared to db's especially when considering the cost in time and money. Consequently, the kb is not a great tool, but a good one as long as the student is fully informed of the cost of their options.

They are both tools that have their strengths and weaknesses... KB’s better for... *Swings *Snatches *Squats *Vertical Presses DB’s better for... *Horizontal Presses (Bench) *Curls *Tricep Extensions *Lateral Raises KB/DB’s equal... *Rows (Back/Lat work). Generally speaking KB’s are better for most compound exercises and superior for ballistic movements. DB’s better for Chest work and isolation exercises.

Most kettlebell forms of this channel are woefully wrong. I'd recommend Mark Wildman.

@@lebe-stark corrected. Very opinionated channel. No science behind the work outs. Everything loaded on the lower back. The form is not seen from any RKC or SF trainers.

You're bringing up great points and it's sad to see you go. I take a stand in what I believe in and I'm open to new ideas - if they fit evidence-based practices. Our workout program is a blend of both strength and endurance work that is mostly known in kettlebell sport. The reason you're not used to seeing this form is because the execution of the ballistics is based in kettlebell sport. RKC and SF are based in Hardstyle kettlebell training - which we also like! - Gregory

I know you are an expert, but I don't really like the technique. It's too...spaghetti 🤔like in the double clean, your head faces toward the floor😵 that's a no no. Like Pavel tatsouline says. "your eyes should be facing the horizon"

When demonstrating the double swing, your form didn't look right. It seems to me that your stressing your lower back way too much, while you should swing with your hips (hinge movement) and the legs.

People actually break dance around the kettlebell? O_O I wonder if the same people just stand around looking at the toilet when taking a dump. Or watch porn with their significant other and calling it sex.

@adrienneyt2250 3 жыл бұрын

Idk...Watching your form in some of these, makes me nervous; notably, the alternating swing, but especially the snatch. You're overextending your back. Looks painful. Your double cleans... back breaker!! Definitely good content, but some of it is hard to watch...

Thanks for the feedback! You're probably not used to the kettlebell sport style. It may look strange if you see it for the first time and are accustomed to hardstyle only. - Gregory

In current scenario where access to gyms and weights are limited all over the world, ur video kinda kills people's enthusiasm when they try to make best of the resources they have. Video ignored, channel unsubscribed.

What? If someone wants to make the best of the resources at hand, the person shall make the exercises that are more efficient and give a better return for the time invested, not be playing around with "funny" inneficient stuff. This has nothing to do with enthusiasm, really.
