40kgs kettlebell iron cross (20 per hand)

[SenseiGrove]

nono on the valsalva maneuver...

[78shovelhead]

pretty strong !  way to go.

[ugou]

iron cross (on rings) you're actually pushing the other way, down not up.

[MrMbogza]

nice , can you do this with your elbows locked ? 

[abban132435]

but that doesnt help you get the iron cross on rings

[nilslundgren23]

At first I thought it was 40kgs pr hand. And I was about to call you out for it, cus that doenst look like 40kg bells.. but hey 20kgs is still good!! So good job man.. if you like training videos check out mine aswell ;)

[rockbodyfitness]

@nilslundgren23 if you catch me or anyone else in the fitness industry in a lie..call em on it. dishonesty is commonplace and youtube gives liars a platform.

gs is tough stuff. good job on your vids

[nilslundgren23]

@rockbodyfitness I totally agree man. So many people bullshitting people out there. Thanks for the props on the vids :)

[pixelsafoison]

holy sh... awesome!

[asianstrength]

iron cross is a gymnastic move done on rings and this is not it. You're just lowering the kettlebell down and isometrically contracting the deltoids.

[cirocar]

Damn I would love to own kettlebells... They're just so damn expensive. Awesome strength, though I wouldn't recommend doing this very often or with little experience and no warm-up

[rockbodyfitness]

@cirocar when you compare the bang out of buck you get from this compared to a bowflex or a treadmill....these really aren't that bad

[TheBuckybean]

3 people don't have a clue what happened in the video.

[rockbodyfitness]

@TheBuckybean or maybe 3 people saw my newest one and don't like this one anymore :)

[321Yixo]

@TheBuckybean Bent Elbows... Bad form.

[MrNikedrummer]

man,you are a BEAST!!!!!!!!!!!

[txturbo930]

Solid!

[ThomasWinkworth]

palms facing floor... dont hold them like that, it sucks

[soulofone]

thank you for posting this brother! I am glad to come across such a good training technique!

[ronin0990]

@rockbodyfitness Nice, you weight the same as me and i do that :) i used it as training for doing an iron cross on my rings, (though i can only hold it for like 4 seconds then fall into a heap) Kettlebells are the way forward, Can you clean and press the beast??? i only have 32kg max so i dont know how heavy i could go.

[DarrylKensley]

Dayum dude, Id try that if my tendinitis wasnt flared. Nice job!

[MythosAlmighty]

@DarrylKensley Elbow tendonitis? I had that shit for about 6 months till i had prolotherapy and it disappeared in 3 weeks. Google it, it might help you out.

[wolfzz5]

I was wondering what your opinion on mass gainer would be? I'm constantly getting stronger but never any bigger, i'm deadlocked at 140. would mass gainer be a smart move? and what is a good brand of it in your opinion?

[rockbodyfitness]

@wolfzz5 assuming milk agrees with you drink that instead of mass gainers. drink A LOT of it and eat a lot of high quality protein rich food

[wolfzz5]

@rockbodyfitness That I can do, love milk, I'm also training with a RKC guy, first day all he did was correct my form and show me some stuff, no real excerciseing, the next day I was sore in places I didn't even know I had. good stuff. Thanks for the advice.

[rockbodyfitness]

@wolfzz5 form is uber important. tell him i said hello comrade

[wolfzz5]

@rockbodyfitness That I can do, his name is Paul White if you know him.

[MrBambi89]

your so cute look at those big muscle your so strong

[TheDaniel97G]

Does this exercise help the gymnastics iron cross on the rings ?

[rockbodyfitness]

@TheDaniel97G for over all strength purposes yes, for a direct effect...i doubt it

[ichater]

@TheDaniel97G On the Rings the force is comming from a different direction, this would be the equivalent to the rings. upsidown. Id Imagine training to achieve an elite level on the rings would be very difficult without any kind of instruction regardless of how much you know about gymwork

[JohnnyVegaz007]

@TheDaniel97G Its a good exercise to hit the opposing muscles while ring iron cross training (will help keep you porpotionate)... It definately would be amazing for getting your tendons, ligaments, and joints ready for iron cross training... especially since you can start at low weights and move up. Im going to do this when its time to train my iron cross on the rings...

[heysteve989]

Weren't you working on a workout video series? Is that complete and posted somewhere?

[rockbodyfitness]

its sort of available...the problem is trying to coordinate the email system so it delivers it in the order i want it to

[BestLoyalistMusic10]

@rockbodyfitness

thats hard , well done

i only workout with dumbells and i can only work with 18kgs for each arm , i cant curl 20kg dumbells ,im 16 , be hosent eric is this weak ?

[rockbodyfitness]

@BestLoyalistMusic10 define weak.  if you give up altogether yes its week. if you keep training, keep improving and keep progressing then no its not

[TELEMACUS800]

That was impressive.

[rockbodyfitness]

thank you

[palestis2]

great job. What is your sport?

[rockbodyfitness]

don't really have one.  I just like to be strong for the hell of it.

i may get into jujitsu if my schedule allows it

[smittydiesel]

Eric, I've done these and that is tough bro, great job.

[rockbodyfitness]

coming from you that means a lot. i know you travel with some very strong people

[DaleFitness]

[InsaneDP]

Holy Sh...

Awesome job man!

[rockbodyfitness]

[nfarnham2008]

[rockbodyfitness]

[nfarnham2008]

Dang man, lol I will say, by your size and height I wouldn't have thought you could do it, but the video proves it. Great job man.

[rockbodyfitness]
