You are so forth coming with all your insights. Everyone else just wants you to sign up. A true testament to the person you are. And a wealth of knowledge. This video is worth it's weight in gold. I know real good coaching is needed for everyone. But for those of us that can't afford it. This is wonderful. Thank you sir. Peace and blessings to you and yours much success to your channel.

This is by far the best tutorial I've seen! Thank you for taking the time to help with such an important lesson. Everyone just assumes they're going to get tears, and that's just the way it is. This shows that's not how it should be.Well done good sir.

Great explanation. I need to emphasize keeping things in line on the drop. That's my biggest source of tears. Thanks for the lesson!

I watched few videos about this topic and this gives the most information. I've been able to use the explanations and improve my technique. The demonstrations are excellent. Many thanks

Great, one of the best I've seen. You deserve all the praise one gets.

Very good tutorial, in depth clarification of one of the most common issues with snatches at least. Keep up the good work👍

By far the best video about how to control the KB. 👍

Thank you for the video dude, finally someone explained “how to” grip the kB. Been tearing my palm and couldn’t work out what was causing it!

great advice on how to grab kettlebells

You are like the Yoda of Kettle bells Joe! Thanks for good instructions.

Very informative video thank you! Much appreciated!

no problem ross. there is definitely a style difference when using competition bells verse regular kettlebells most people have. but the grip and release should be the same.

Thanks man, good clear video.

Excellent explanation!!! Much Thanx!!!

awesome tips, almost like using a "false grip", w this technique first practice w a light bell as I get better increase weight until you can master the technique practice makes perfect Thank you sir!!!

8:30-8:45 summarized it perfectly

Thanks for your sharing !!!

dope video! thx bro!

Thanks a lot, its really useful info, i think your explaination is very specific and clear, it helped me to understand my mistakes and i think i can improve, my coach is good but i think he cant explain it too clear, i cant wait to go and practice more my tecnique

I was going back through some of your earlier videos and came across this. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! The absolute best explanation of how to grip & not grip a kettlebell. This has upped my training/workouts a hell of a lot. Starting to consider entering some local competitions(If I can find any) in my area. Between your videos along with Valery Fedorenko's videos I'm learning I believe the right way. Thanks again.

Will certainly do👍

Many thanks for the great instructions, Joe! Really detailed and thorough description of the KB grip & drop technique. You provide even more details than Valery Fedorenko, who really puts a lot of emphasis on this in his instruction videos. He says it only once, while you repeat over and over again and demonstrate in slow motion. Great stuff!

great video

Nice explanation! i still suffer blister when snatching, difficult to cope with the speed of the bell when going down

youre welcome !

youre welcome eddie

Great video joe, any tips on why I feel my lower ribs digging into my abs when I’m doing snatch? Thanks

My right hand can do this, but with my left not so much, going to use a lighter weight as you say to get the technique.

welcome ross

how many of you have torn your skin doing #cleans or #snatches with a #kettlebell ?

Thank you

Great even 9yrs later!!!

In reference to your blurb; TRAIN HARDER LONGER TO GAIN STRENGTH AND LOSE FAT. You seem a genuine guy, and I'm not having a go in that respect. But that is not how you safely lose weight, and then keep it off. 3 to 20 minutes of high intensity training (HIT) there is no super high intensity training (SHIT). Kettlebells have been a revelation for me. 56 pounds lost and still counting. plus fantastic core strength and good health that I've never had before. But you need to rest for 48 hours between each workout, and no more than 40 minutes. And don't average more than 2 pounds a week in weight loss per month (no matter how big you are). I believe you are addicted to the endorphin rush after finishing your workout. You have also successfully built up your muscles over the years. Kudos to you. But 40 minute plus workout on KB is detrimental to weight loss and muscle growth. The appropriate diet and 3 training sessions of 20 minutes each is absolutely fine for people looking to lose weight and get in shape. Also, yes, you use a heavy KB because perpetual motion is an important part of the exercise and avoiding injury. But heavy is 10 kg to 16 kg. If 20 kg plus is ripping your hands apart; then jump down to 16 kg, if not 10 kg.

youre welcome bjorkidentity

Thank you. May we all never knock over any puppies or music with kettlebells, Comrade :) Quick question - how many times did you drop the bell BEFORE you got this sorted, when you practiced this?

Hi Joe, Awesome video and demo. I recntly tore my left middle callus on high rep snatches with 1pood kbells from onnit.com. The handle is much thicker with a primer/porous finish, making it harder to grip in the cradle of the fingers. Would you have any additional tips for this type of kbells?

Are u developing a new filming technique through key holes ?

gloves re not recommended for kettlebell sport . and not allowed in competition. magnesium chalk helps

Great video but why is he talking into a hidden camera?

#kettlebell form fixes

just wrap boxing wraps around it, or wear gloves, or get a sand kettlebell.

if youre ripping your hands with that girly toy you dont deserve a place in a gym.

I think I’m gonna have to buy some competition bells. I’m finding it difficult to catch the thick handle on my cast irons with my little hands.

Would I be right in saying at no point do you squeeze grip the handle but alternating catching between fingers and thumb?
