Thanks for sharing Alex! You're definitely right! - Gregory

3 minute rounds, if i get tired I switch to a different exercise or do planks, situps, push-ups...just keep moving...

Ummmm, forgot what I was gonna say.....

Yeah and kettlebell feels like a dance! You're like a ninja when transitioning seamlessly between swings, cleans, presses and whatnot. I've always despised the gym and the stale old weightlifting, thanks to kettlebell I love training for the first time in my life 😁

Thanks for the love Mike! Those numbers are earned with sweat, time and patience. :) - Gregory

Barefoot is the only way I work with kettlebells. All the dynamic moment helps strengthen my ankles and arches. No doctor but I know what I feel

Awesome, thank you brother! - Gregory

Form is key! - Gregory

Damn!! I would have been in 😭

Thank you Jacob! HS definitely has its place and we've learned a lot since the making of this video. - Gregory

Thank you for sharing! It's all about technique! :) - Gregory

You're welcome! - Gregory

Great stuff! Thank you! - Gregory

I have my suspicions that a single hand swing causes my chronic shoulder pains. It may be an incorrect form where I'm extending my shoulder too far forward at the top of the swing.

what weight do you use ?@@sibaroochi

Competitions are the best kettlebells for a proper hand insertion. - Gregory

Thanks for sharing! - Gregory

Check out Gregory's workouts that are 30 minutes in length. They all have a great warm-up and mobility phase.

As Mike pointed out, you can check out some of our earlier workout videos. A clear kettlebell mobility warm up video will follow soon. - Gregory

We‘ve heard great things about adjustable kettlebells from Kettlebell Kings. - Gregory

We're taking a closer look at the snatch in our upcoming podcast: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/btSnq7mXlZuxhaM.html

Search our channel for warm up and stretching.

Thank you Paul! - Gregory

You can also use cast iron bells. We use our own competition kettlebells for everything: kettlebells.lebestark.ch - Gregory

Agree on his contributions. Disagree on his teachings bring the gold standard. Thanks for sharing! 💪

The re-wiring takes some time but you'll get there! - Gregory

The algorithm finally caught up with you! 💪😁

Ja haben wir! Einfach den Channel mit "Mobility" durchsuchen. - Gregory

Thank for joining Laura! Mobilizing your body and prepping it for a workout is not the same as static stretching to loosen up muscles. - Gregory

@@lebe-stark Thanks Gregory. Always learning!

@@lebe-stark Gonna watch this next: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j81ip9udqNXeiWw.html

Try to stay conscious of your dominant side; not going too fast. You can also use a RPM counting Reps For Time and see how you fare with both sides. - Gregory

@@lebe-stark Thak u! I will follow your advice

I appreciate that Constantin! Thanks for the feedback! - Gregory

its just more fun to me....kinda feel like sayin wheeeeee! as it switches grip

Awesome, thank you Jeremy! - Gregory

You're 100% right! - Gregory

The nature of sport...specificity and just moving thru space pushed inanimate objects( and some that are not) into use for all manner of movements!!!

The most unique/high-yield benefit that kettlebell training provides is centered around ballistic movements, seamless transitions between techniques, and hand-to-hand movements, EVEN juggling movements. Such movements with kettlebells provide ergonomics, ease of use, and centrifugal forces that can't be duplicated with barbells or dumbells. While historically, scale weights were the predecessor of Kettlebells, scale weights were often a block of some sort with a handle that was often a ring, or sometimes cast as a single piece with a handle. The handles and weights were only designed to be transported to and from the scales and were not designed for lifting. Proof can be found in the smallest weights with handles that no adult human hand could be inserted into which were designed to be lifted by only a few fingers at a time. Eventually, people began to improvise and used these scale weights to perform feats of strength (think circus tricks). As it became more commonplace to train with scale weights they were redesigned to accommodate a full hand, and designs evolved into something that more closely resembled a globe with an often spinning handle such as the Milo adjustable weight Kettlebell which was a globe with plates that could be inserted inside. Later on, the Kettlebell design we’re familiar with today became popular. While there are some severely flawed designs on the market, Today’s BEST kettlebells ARE indeed specifically designed for ballistics - not for scales.

@@RKCjsstevens Thank you. Superb info.

FMS is great stuff! Gray Cook is very solid in his teaching! You're welcome Donny! - Gregory

I believe you can still use kettlebell to do curls, triceps extensions and stuff; especially if you have no other equipment. It‘s always a question of the goal. Most people though, misunderstand the power of kettlebells and use them like dumbbells only. Thanks for sharing! - Gregory

It depends on your goals Sid! - Gregory

@@lebe-stark that's so vague

Kettlebells have a rich history and moving them is part science, part art. :) - Gregory

Alignment and orientation of your wirst is a matter of preference. - Gregory

@@lebe-stark thanks for the clarification.

Wow, thanks! Joel is a very good looking guy! :) - Gregory

Yes there is! - Gregory

@@lebe-stark Great. What are some ways to use kettlebells as a steady state exercise - meaning using full body for long periods without stopping?

A typical kettlebell sport swing/ snatch for 30 minutes for example. - Gregory

Kettlebell training (the way we do it and teach it) is mostly glute based; especially working the whole mid-section. However, you can't spot-reduce fat with specific exercises. Try improving your eating habits if weight loss and fat burn is a priority. - Gregory

Steve Cotter (IKFF), Denis Vasilev, Brittany van Schravendijk, Sergey Rudnev and Mike Salemi. I hope this helps! - Gregory

@@lebe-stark Thank you sir!

Yes! The Orange County Kettlebell Club!

@@lebe-stark Thank you!

You're welcome! Say hello to Denis Vasilev from Gregory from Lebe Stark when you get there!

Thanks for sharing! 💪

Glad it was helpful, Keith! - Gregory

1. Circumvents the need to practice the skill 2. Humility is the way to mastery 3. It’s a technique

Don't worry about it! If you have solid steel/ cast kettlebells, you're good! Plus you can always sell them if they don't suit your liking! :) - Gregory

I've been doing Lebe Stark workouts for several weeks now with hardstyle kettlebells. Had 12kg KB at home for many years, never used it and it has been perfect. I was lucky it was round and steel, so a rather usable KB. Recently I bought 16kg and 24kg as I'm improving, and the 24 kg is awesome for workout finisher and for deadlifts, squats and carries I like to do. Use what you have! Don't let perfect be the enemy of good enough. I went with hard bells mainly to save some money 🤣 but who knows, maybe I'll switch one day. Gregory is absolutely right - there's a market for used bells and if you've gotten use from the kettlebell already, anything you get when selling will be bonus.

@@liljemark1 jusst got gifted a 20kg which has 2 flat faces on it. i gaffa taped a dishcloth round it to stop the bugger breaking my wrist on impact with the sharp edge

You don't have to fully extend your arms Michael at the Apex of the Swing if you follow the russian way of kettlebell training. - Gregory
