What does being American have to do with anything? Kettlebells were developed by Russians, the guy in the vid is a Brit and he is in Australia... So why go there?
TheOmedome's comment above was clearly based on ignorance but your response was mean-spirited and just inappropriate. Why disparage Americans? What does that solve. I was going to subscribe to your channel, as I admire your technique and form in this video, but not now--simply based on your childish response to an ignorant comment.
@greenbunny13 hey, if he's not American I take it back :-) Only an American would bring something up about lawsuits. And there was more than ignorance going on there "....please!!!!"
what a shit workout. Dangerous too. If a client Drops that on their foot there will be an impending lawsuit as quick as you can say 'ouch my frickin foot!' Also do you really think swinging those things around is really good for your body?....please!!!!
@TheOmedome wow. you are way off. KB's are not only effective, but quite good for the body when done correctly. his form is excellent and this is a great conditioning routine. A. you shouldn't speak on things you don't know anything about, and B. you should never use language and attitude like that in an online forum. @ER Bunny is right. If you are going to present yourself as a professional you must maintain that decorum. @Bunny don't cut off your nose to spite your face.
@TheOmedome This is an Advanced Routine. You must be prepared for it, both your muscles and joints and your basic movements. Do you really think gymnastics, martial arts, weightliftting and even ballet are really good for your body? they are all stresfull and dangerous... that only makes them even more enjoyable and challenging, and that is -beauty apart-, why you can watch them on tv as a show
@TheOmedome I'm a fitness instructor and I've been teaching kettlebells for about a month. Nobody ever gets hurt, I make sure that everyone has proper form, I modify exercises for people who are sick or injured and I actually get both strength and cardio work when I do it. I literally drip sweat. And I'm a girl!
@ADFCHRONICLES depending on your own bodyweight, fitness level and intent this could very well be the appropriate weight. in addition, when doing an instructional video, one would often lay back a little.
@diamonddonut maybe because that is just his body type, what I do know is that Alex is the only person in our gym who can lift the 40Kg kettlebell easily above his head in our gym!...
@diamonddonut the guy is slim and toned. what are you talking about? where is this average? even if the average guy is slim (which he isn't), he is not toned. besides, this guy is not powerlifting.
@diamonddonut don't be fooled. functional strength and ability doesn't always equate to and exceptional look. in fact, in most cases it does not. take a look at Federov. He doesn't look like much, but he'll run most humans into the ground in usable strength, conditioning etc. Mirror muscles only look good, but aren't of much use.
but lets face it, the endurance, agility, and power needs a good shaped buffed as well.. i mean i wont say NO if i had this guy's power while i am pure muscled buffed like Thomas Jane in the Punisher, or Scott Adkins in the undisputed 3. i guess Scott Adkins is kinda more agile than this guy as it appears from his formal or previous background of the kind of sports he is into. the way he trained to perform Boyka was an extreme EVIL.
@diamonddonut when you train the body as it is meant to be trained, your natural genetic look will present itself if nutrition is correct. some folks are predisposed to carrying more muscle. e.g. Steve Cotter. I doubt he does much split routine or muscle building, but has the "look". Pavel, doesn't look like much, but I wouldn't cross him : ) My favorite analogy would be the contemporary Pit Bull vs. the Pits from the 30's. who were were smaller, less muscle but more capable.
u mean the pure mesomorph type of bodies! i partially disagree, i mean from the science point of view, all bodies r alike regarding the muscles it carries, but the way the body reacts to food & training differs, some needs more effort like the ectomorph and endomorph while the pure meso needs a bit effort. steve seems a heavy lifter from his vids (i duno Pavel), but after all, Thomas and Scott r DAMN JUST FINE :D If Gerard - the FAT - Butler did it, everyone can do it :D
@diamonddonut hmmm. I'm not sure understanding each other. Some people are genetically predisposed to having more fast twitch motor units. Some of those same folks would also be genetically predisposed to having less fat cells. The combination of more fast twitch motor units and less fat cells would give someone a greater likelihood that they would "present" a leaner, more muscular body. I'm pretty sure Cotter is not a heavy lifter which is why I use him as a case in point.
@iBrendino59G training barefoot improves proprioception which is crucial to long term health and wellness. I've been doing KB's for years, never dropped one on my foot, or seen it happen and I've been teaching them for some time as well. One of the main focuses of KB's is neuromuscular coordination, thereby all but eliminating the possiblity of that kind of injury.
noticed i made a comment on this video 4 months ago.. i ended up joining the kettlebell classes with these guys and kettlebells has to be my favorite class. fantastic results.
@allout21 It really depends on how intense your doing your Kettle Bell workout. A Kettle Bell workout will utilise your whole body and if your are training hard with them as well as you other intense workouts then your body is going to need rest. Remember rest is just important as exercise, your body needs to recover in order to get stronger. However your keeping the intensity reasonably low then this should be fine.
Is there a "junior" or "basic" kettle bell course? With my, luck I'd throw the kettle bell up in the air and drop it on my foot. Having said that, mastering the advanced course would have not only a health and fitness benefit, it would also put you in good stead for a job in the demolition business. Just sayin' Taco ;-)
wow nice balance and strength. so kettlebells, tell me more, whats it going to do for me? ive heard of it, but it looks like all you're doing is throwing a weight around? i mean why would i even do it?
@duckrak primary benefit is kinetic chain neuromuscular response and improved proprioception. KB's teach your body to work as it is intended to work in complex movement patterns. the fluctuating resistance arm adds a level of improvement that few modalities can produce. if you are a split routine person, KB's would be a good way to balance out the damage done with semi-isolation.
one of the first kettlebell video's with proper execution... nicely done... and yes, swinging those balls around IS actually good for your body!
