Being a strength and conditioning expert and former assistant at the University of Georgia I can tell you that kettle bell strength teaching is where its at when it comes down to the bottom line. Test the following 3 kettle bell lifts that should be a must in your strength course!
1. The Kettle bell Swing: This is the base strength stamina lift that is great for general conditioning and building tremendous inner strength. This lift is performed by you swinging the bell starting between your legs up to chest level. The pulling motion of swinging the iron bell incorporates hundreds of muscles and challenges your cardiovascular system more as compared to anything you have tried with in other type of weightlifting.
You must do a hip snap motion by contracting and extending at both your hips and knees in a continuous and flowing motion in order to build the required drive to carry out this lift. This hip drive is required for the game of football!
2. The Single Arm Overhead Kettle bell Snatch: This specific lift is ghastly in it's intensity! This is possibly at the top of the lifts for maximum kettle bell workouts. This lift is performed by properly executing an explosive hip snap motion once again. But, you are only lifting the kettle bell with a single arm and letting the bell to vertically fly up in front of your body by pulling your elbow upward and lateral to your head. The moment it arrives at this high point laterally to your head then you finish the snatch by hitting your palm to the heaven shutting out both your elbow and shoulder into place. This particular routine is wonderful for developing explosive leg power, inner strength, and shoulder stability!
3. The Kettle bell Front Squat: For this kettle bell drill you can utilize a single bell or two bells of the same weight. Starting from the floor between your legs just clean the kettle bells to your chest. Ensure that your squat stance is firm and stable. From here simple perform a front squat going down until your elbows meet your knees. This is how you know you possess good depth in the squat. Ensure that you include all three of these lifts into your kettle bell workout routines for maximum fitness and athletic routine. Train intensely and enjoy my friend!
