Gray Cook Teaches Kettle Bell Deadlift

[willowsfuturehusband]

Brilliant instruction and you provide simple examples of how to get round problems like I can't reach the weight/it's to low. Nice one, #trainhardplayeasy

Great instruction by Gray Cook as usual. As far as the weight of the big orange kb, (aka: the Great Pumpkin), it's 32kg or 70.5 lbs. It's the First Place brand vinyl coated kettlebell. The vinyl is supposed to cushion shock but they also make them without the coating. I have one of these and the handle is very thick. Great for your grip on swings or farmer's walk.

They're made well and have lasted me years without any problems. Perform Better is having a sale through the end of Sept. FYI

I came to this video at random. What a great teacher this guy is.

[plasterdbastard]

Wicked instruction from one of the world's best.

Do you really think that orange kettlescam...uh, kettlebell is that much heavier than the yellow one? What a joke. What he says about deadlifts is right, but you need real weight (relative to one's current strength) to make any difference.

@56mikeo

The volume of a sphere increases as the cube of the radius. If the big bell has a radius of (say) six inches and the smaller one has a radius of two inches, the difference in volume is not three times, but twenty seven times (3x3x3). If the small bell weighs four pounds, then the larger one weighs one hundred eight pounds. So yeah, the bigger one is a lot heavier than the small one. If you get a chance to handle kettlebells of different sizes, you will see what I mean.

Gray Cook is one of the smartest Strength Coaches in the US.

Great job with the DL clip! On another note:

The FMS is something the every strength coach should be using!

[cvolgrafit]

Definitely an RDL...but keep in mind there are roughly 13 different versions of the deadlift. Great article in recent NSCA journal. On a side note, there are enough fitness experts these days that one should avoid taking exercise advice from a doctor who is not well schooled in exercise science. If he or she says squats, lunges and deadlifts are bad for you...run like the wind, never come back and tell all of your friends and family to avoid that office like the plague! Most chiros should no

'...start to frown. I never why that is...'

It's because they're pussies, Mr Cook. It's because they're pussies.

I'm a CSCS in CT and at my gym we call your version of the Deadlift a Romanian Deadlift (less knee flexion and mainly hip extension). Our version of a classic Deadlift is much greater knee flexion (hips lower to ground) with of course a flat back, high chest, etc.

Nothing is more frustrating than a physician telling people to avoid deads and squats! Nice video Gray

[bboygiggles]

How many physicians do you know who are physically fit?

[drutkoski1]

great stuff!!!

[iloveyoubest]

i discovered I had a strength imbalance in my glutes when my squat rack was out of order and I moved to dumbbell squats. My left glute stayed sore for weeks. Oddly enough though, I'd been doing stiff-legged deadlifts with dumbbells for years and never noticed the imbalance.

[SMARTERTeamTraining]

Great job of explaining what, why, and how. Keep the clips coming!

[Jacobomo]

Gray Cook is one of the best things to ever happen for the human body

[bboygiggles]

Gray Cook is one of my favorite along with JC Santana, Anthony Carey, and Gary Gray.

[jplsabido]

excellently explained! Gray Cook is one of my favorite authors in the sports science field.

[yunk9]

Yes don't be scared of it. Nice vid

[kineticmb]

[snowatc]

[Shokeybutsi]
