KETTLEBELL MMA WORKOUT

[willwind85]

@scandapoodle idk but them Persians had a homosexual looking dude n 300

[Mepoole89]

Is this considered a sparta work out? Do you do 3 sets? or just the 20 min workout?

[scandapoodle]

@Mepoole89

not really as the spartans had homosexual sex when they "worked out". not that it is anything wrong with that but they were the most gay culture ever in history.

[Jonth93]

i see these workouts everywhere for mma, may i ask, what are they good for, what muscles do they workout?

[bladesaint21]

@Jonth93 The overhead presses swinging up from the ground engage nearly the whole body,(Legs,hips,back,abs and shoulder,bi's and triceps) the constant repetition also trains your endurance/fat burning at the same time not to mention your mental will.You would be quite tempted to quit before finishing your minute.Traditional wieght training sculps your specific vanity/beach muscles for looking good.Kettlebells train strength/ endurance/performance to be stronger than you look.

[Jonth93]

@bladesaint21 oh, thanks!

[WinsomeJohnny]

@Jonth93 No prob.Thats just a description in a nutshell.From my own personal experience and research.I like using timers so my rest periods arent too long.or my workouts.2hr marathon sessions in the gym or whatever arent necessary.You wont have that excuse that you dont have enough time to fit a workout in your busy day. 1 good Kettlebell(s) give you an intense workout in a short amnt of time and can replace a large number of different pieces of equipment. Call it a hand held gym!

[stankadawg75]

Awesome can't wait to add this to the mix

[2012ageoflight]

I like this Urban Madness Track . Good Workout bro . Ireland

[mtcprsv12]

[dagizz1982]

Hey funk! Love your videos man, keep it up! But im curious about something; Im currently doing the Steve Cotter kettlebell upper body workout on mondays/thursdays and lower body tuesdays/fridays. Would it be overkill doing this workout aswell a couple of times a week? And, if not, when would you do em? thx bro! :D

[marcroops]

@dagizz1982 Depending on your goals you can add this in as the 5th workout of the week - Full Body Kettlebell Strength, Power, Explosiveness and Conditioning

[internetplaneta]

Nice one!

[EllasGuitarist]

i like the accent dude lol, good workout btw

[Kimberluxxe]

Mmmmm...look at them arms !!! WHOOOO

[Destinyatk]

this is a great video...gives me more of a variety for my workout and I'm female. I'm always looking for better kettle workouts. I liked this one. Thanks :)

[1976Goldenboy]

Good stuff Funk. Thanks for this!

[aunzu001]

how often should i do this workout a week and should it be my only workout for a day?

[mmafanification1]

the song is Ghostface Killah - Daytona 500 thumbs up so ppl know

[mmafanification1]

HELP

[liamlivingston1]

[Petto84]

How many calories do you burn in that exercise?

[mistyflip78]

is this an example of a metabolic resistance workout?

[KINGROOSTER45]

just done this workout- fu*k-a-duck-a-nory!!! the sweat is drippin'. more like this woooo

[conndstevejam]

Hi im useing an 18lb kettle bell im 5 ft 11 and in good shape is this weight good enough for the time being?

[ebscrebs]

@conndstevejam If you're a guy, no this is not enough weight for you. I'm 5'4, 135 and am using a 15 lb bell to work my way back into working out regularly.

[paytonh]

@demolayakp thats means u are not snatching fast enough

[SuperDriedFruit]

What's the song called?

[demolayakp]

the weight hits my wrist when i do the one arm snatch and it hurts

. any tips?

[freerunner0h9]

@demolayakp If it keeps hitting your wrist either try a lighter weight and it that doesnt work buy some hand wraps that you put under boxing gloves to stop it causing damage

[MyNameBeJrock]

@demolayakp stop being a puss might help

[demolayakp]

@MyNameBeJrock im no puss. i was just asking if its normal to feel pain while doing this. i've been working out for over 8 years already. but i must admit im new to kettlebells. forgive me for being too cautious. ive seen and experienced problems by doing workouts without proper execution or form. and sadly have hurt myself several times by telling my self "not to be a puss" when in fact I did it the wrong way.

[MyNameBeJrock]

@demolayakp lol i know dude im just taklin crap

[DrFlugster]

Awesome job! Thanks for posting!

[brewsie2]

How much weight?

[KSAFitness]

Good energy bro!

[skampiss]

Love the music and the skipping rope Mr. Funk!

Would you do this as a full workout or would you do this at the end of a general strengthtraining where this would be the strength/cardio at the end?

Look like you are in good shape, respect!

[bomber2542]

this is dope man!!

[TheWLad1k]

tell me pls, how much per week i should do this workout?

[brianchylinski]

There are som aspects of his forms you would like to correct. BUT, he mat have a method to the changeup.

Either way. Bad Ass workout

[shincyriades]

Wow - I really should borrow some ideas from this! I just picked up a kettlebell a few weeks ago and have put together a video of some of the basics for it. However this routine in your video could really help my students a lot for competitions! Kudos!

[IGcolin]

i think it's better to use beer instead of the water :))

nice video by the way

[DaOldHead]

What weight kettlebell were you using?

[filthywilfy]

i like all ur vids but wat sorta food does he eat and does he doin any running coz i do loads of cuicurts like that n a few weights days n dnt look like that any help plzzzz cheers

[babyface0514]

@filthywilfy every1 diet has 2 be different but i found out that if u eat high protein and low carbs u can lose weight fast without become weak n have less energy. try 2 stay away from carbs, sweets, and cut out the pop. i do high protein low carb its working great for me. also, when u exercise go full speed and work out ur whole body. keep changing exercises cause it causes ur metabolism to rise n make u sweat more. with my diet n how i workout i went from 290 to 265 in 2.5 weeks.

[filthywilfy]

@babyface0514 yea i do like 3/4 days cuircuts n kettlebells n a day weights n a day thai boxing but me diets shit i used 2 eat low carbs but now i just cnt get into it ahaha but i 4ort the training im doin i shud lose weight but im goin more stocky lol is kb training best 4 loseing body fat

[GREATMILENKO69]

1st day on your workout and the verdict was ...........great =] .the skipping gave me a head rush at first cause i was trying the skip as fast as rocky balboa!!!!! lol but anyways i slowed that shit down and i was fine then and doing the whole kettle bell thing to workout left me nackerd but feeling very pumped up so its all good =] cheers for this vid and keep them coming mate

[drbnast]

Great stuff ! appreciate the diversity.

[FadeAway23]

This guys nuts! seriously how did he not throw up after doing all that.

[petera5422]

Funk-great video-we are middle aged recreational boxers,but with good fitness levels. Firstly,what weight should we use ? Also,is there any rest period or is it a straight 20 mins ?thanks

[petera5422]

Funk-great video-we are middle aged recreational boxers,but with good fitness levels. Firstly,what weight should we use ? Also,is there any rest period or is it a straight 20 mins ?thanks

[bigmeatj]

How many times a week should I do this?

[babyface0514]

@bigmeatj personally i exercise 5 days a week. i go mon tues wed off thurs, back on fri and sat than off sun. when u done working out take a cold bath or really hot bath so ur muscles dont get really sore n u wont be to tired or sore for the next day

[JohnNesdoly]

This looks like a killer workout... and I am a regular kettlebeller myself...I might give it a go sometime soon myself..

[fineemerald]

@MrMusclefish , What is your problem?

[bulleuston76]

Brown guys always build awesome body's!

[moneyman10k]

@bulleuston76 muscles are genetic and skin color is genetic but they are not linked

[bulleuston76]

@moneyman10k Good point!

[GregTKD100]

wicked workout fella, got to get me a kettlebell now

[again815]

Good~!

[EvilResistance]

What weight are you using?

[irrelevanceuk]

Nice nice workout! Rather than going for minutes I do reps but I'm still new to kettle bells. Feels great. Thanks Funk!

[tmickey05]

my boyfriend just did this work-out. let's just say he'll be sleeping good tonight =)

[smithersandburns]

I wonder if Raekwon and Ghostface ever use kettlebells.....?

[hypnosquirrel]

nice . . . throw some overhead squats in the mix.

[SportLeichtRensport]

this guy has pretty good form compared to some of the other idiots on youtube. i love doing explosive dynamic workouts, functional strength FTW

[mackhomie]

any reason this wouldnt work with dumbells (especially the type that has the center bar able to 'spin' w/ plates on the end

[bloodriotiori]

@mackhomie you can do any (just about that is) kbell excercise with a dumbell, but mind you a kbell has the weight distributed differently then a dumbell does, so it works your body differently.

[guyjames70]

Thanks for the video looks good, I have just purchased some kettle bells and do a lot of skipping too so this should be good, keep em coming.............

[kaz8666]

Agree with poor form - check out dragon door. com for anything regarding kettlebells -

good circuit really dig the Track to this work out too

nice work

[isenstrider]

@booty1664

The cleans and presses at 2:36 look good?

[isenstrider]

When you put yourself out there as an authority your form had better be good. And his isnt.

When you progress with kettlebelling form is everything. So when I surf youtube in search of some interesting KB routines I will ofc comment when someone advertises himself as an authority and afterwards makes beginner's mistakes. Do YOU think the cleans and presses at 2:36 look good?? Or the snatches at 4:40??

[crawleymang]

@isenstrider Seem to be working for him. And he doesn't seem to be doing anything extreme to where he is putting himself at high risk of injury. Other than, you know... swinging around something heavy.

[deadman54]

thats a 44# KB, still, forms bad XD

[CeeEmmz]

hey guys im wondering shal i add this b4 my boxing workouts or in my weight days??? since im thinkin of adding kettlebell workouts so shal i add this workout in my b4 boxing workouts or in my weight lifting workout days?

[filthyjake]

how much weight is that kettlebell?

[pete145]

tryed the work out was a killer

[youngsoldier93]

lol Funk Roberts

[shelldalebrits]

i see the 'form police' are out in full on comments.

[simmo19801]

@shelldalebrits Yeah they have nothing better to do. I'm sure there form is dead perfect and they have had over a 100 MMA fights each. NOT!

[marcroops]

@simmo19801 Thanks Shell

[elveg]

not very impressive. KB is the girls size

[matlepabo]

Very poor form... but good work out thx

[OB2CE]

you dont use your hips at all u when you pressing thats not good at all and the highpulls wtf use your hipsss

[isenstrider]

He does make several errors, but he is obviously fit so I don't think he will injure himself.. Regarding the swings a slightly heavier weight might force correct hip motion. Also, you need to always keep the wrists straight (only a few exceptions). When doing an overhead snatch/lift your arm should travel in a straight line upwards, close to your ear, classic error is to sort of push the weight away from the body. Also, when you clean the weight it should rest on your arms closer to your center.

[bigGaza1]

@isenstrider who the hell are you? some armchair critic? Shut your fat ass and your mouth.

[isenstrider]

@bigGaza1

btw have you noticed how many have have commented on his poor form? Maybe there is a reason..

[brianchylinski]

On the clean: thumb under the chin is key.

[haleah07]

I like the idea...the swing form is terrible. The idea of the swing is to bend at the hips not the legs and waist. your arms should be loose so only your hip power is throwing the kettlebell up without using your arms at all.

[Bobby25ification]

how many calories burned

[sww00a79602]

@Bobby25ification The calories burned depends on how much you weigh. But this type of workout will keep your calories burning for several hours later. So it's almost impossible to tell the true number of calories burned.

[groovestreet77]

i like this

[tonymoxies]

please don't swing a kettlebell that high. theres no need for the hyper extension. keep it below ur chest

[love44jesus4ever]

do kettlebells make your punches harder

[EliteEspeon]

@love44jesus4ever They increase the muscles in your triceps and fore arm area, so yes, your punches will do more damage. Having bigger knuckles will also aid, a lot.

[vega777JJ]

type in vega777jj to see new forearm resistance training tools.

[reefer480]

awesome

[lamesurfer101]

Nice. I used to do the exact same workout back when I blew my MCL. My grappling coach had me jump rope and swing his KB around to keep my leg strong. 4 months later I actually feel better than I did before my accident. Seriously, before, I was a Kettlebell skeptic... now, I seriously am a believer.

[l3fty4real]

nice

[omfggoogle]

This looks like a great work out im gonna try and add it to my weights and cardio if i get time. Otherwise i will do it on my rest days. Thanks for sharing.

[Newcrazev2]

this is JUST an avg kettlebell workout with jump roping. Thanks for nothing

[rocketpenny]

love it!!!

[ardejesus]

Tried it out with a 16-kg KB. Had a killer workout! Thanks for sharing!

[Cherry32able]

Love the routine! Thank you, Funk

[SamsFitnessComAu]

This is a great workout. Thanks

[PasseCominToYou]

I dont have a Kettlebell so could I use a dumbbell for it?

[deckomanilo]

you stupid cunt, of course you could but it would be hard to do the exercises holding it

[PasseCominToYou]

Actually it isn't hard to hold it you dumb fuck

[wingchunming]

Thanks for this ; ) Im gonna try it soon!

[btamboli]

this song is daytona 500.... and its SICK. good work, sick workout, sick song.

[W0nderBreed]

yo whats the song? sounds like wu tang.

btw great exercise!

[Kosyghin]

This routine is very reminiscent to the High Octane Cardio routine made by Mike Mahler. HOC blends cardio with strength work, like boxers usually do (roadwork). I did a routine like this during the summer with a 35 lb Kettlebell:

1 min Jump rope

10 KB Clean & Jerks each arm

1 min Jump rope

10 KB Snatches each arm

1 min Jump rope

10 KB Swings each arm

I would cycle through that 2 to 3 times in a workout. Few workouts are as effective as HOC! But be conservative with the weight you use.

[SparksHealth]

Great routine in and out 30 mins great

[SimplyGifted]

It does take a lot to do this work out, how ever all your kettle bell exercises are not proper form.

[fitness11210]

Mehh!

[supersajin]

solid routine!

[marcroops]

I'm not to sure where to get KB's there

[wingchunming]

Thanks for posting this, it looks like a really good routine for MMA

Do you know a good place for me to get some kettlebells from? im in HK
