[TheLocasaso]

Just awesome

[Duckyxlovesxgum]

lol that was the day i was born!

[JimHolland8]

Awesome endurance and strength.

[kepai100]

Очевидно правая рука была травмирована потому как полностью в локте не разгибается.

[MarinerM80]

Странно, но в толчке локти ни разу полностью не разогнулись, я уж подумал физ.особенность такая у человека. Между тем, в рывке (в другом видео), все нормально...

[jpl315]

does any1 know if he trains exclusively with kettlebells of varying weight or if he utilizes squats/deds/etc too?...what is typical of the elite kettlebell competitors?

[buffalokettlebell]

@jpl315 back when Valery was competing i would imagine he trained with kettlebells only. now he doesnt really do that much training i hear.

[emilyjanesGS]

Pretty much only kettlebells, long timed sets. Some heavy one arm jerks and heavy swings for assistance. High rep BB jump squats (same ROM as the jerks). Very straightforward and very specific.

[Valholm]

@jpl315 I would imagine serious weighted pull ups, since lats a big plus, but really... probably nothing else. Some running and sambo maybe.

[ishoa1]

that looks hell hard

[mcgrath111]

Is that Russian writting in the background?

[MysticGentlemanPRD]

I think so, yes.

[biohazzarddiva]

@mcgrath111 Yes, that is Russian writing in the background. The kettlebell, or girya as the Russians call it, has a 300 year history in Russia. It has been a competitive sport in Russia since 1948 and the Russian National Team has athletes ranging from 16 to 53. The beauty of the kbell is that they are inexpensive, eliminate the need for big, expensive machines and tedious trips to the gym. A good kbell workout done ~4x a week will give you a body like ancient greek statues.

it says march 22 1992 (his 19th birthday) i was born march 19 1991 ( and is only 18) fix description as for video however old he is powerful kid

[WorldKettlebellClub]

Valery was born March 22, 1973. He was just 19 years old in this video.

[LeandroCenturion]

powerful stuff.

[sorrellhongkong]

Awesome.

[talon115]

Who wears short shorts!?!?

[Alos21]

russians in the 90s did

[tiponin23]

shut up!

[Leeuwer]

Did anyone notice how he doesn't wrap his fingers around the handles?

What's the reason for that?

I assume it doesn't tire his grip that fast, but still, I'd like to hear some experienced kettlebell-user opinions.

[crym77]

notice how close together the handles of the bell come in the rack position. Now imagine his fingers around those handles.

[Leeuwer]

Very clear, thanks!

[mromis07]

insane!

[fiendsteer]

easy. i could do that, not an issue

im just kidding =)

[jageycakes]

this is insane

[XIPM3]

omg, he is a mother fucking MONSTER, is this even human?!!? what the fucjk?! an animal! a terminator!!! why isnt he some super secret special forces assassin?!? wtf?!?! this absolutely blows my mind.

[vce56]

He was such a handsome man back then.

[buffalokettlebell]

i am a rather big guy and when i met valery for the first time i thought he broke my hand after shaking it! valery and andrew durniat both got me started into kettlebells. i first met them at the arnold classic. i talked mostly to andrew, he was very down to earth not arrogant at all. he took the time to explain everything to me about kettlebell lifting within a 10 min conversation. i recommend kettlebells to everybody i know now when it comes to making gains in strength and endurance.

[metalmoss]

i wonder how much i could do...maybe 3 or 4 :)

[JonathanBloggs]

Unless you weight train probably not even one. A 70lb KB is more difficult to lift over your head than you think.

[PacificFlows]

i can snatch a bulldog, homie.

[PacificFlows]

and i'm only 155.

[RiverCityPC]

Valery is a champion.

[luiohh]

when i first saw the title..i thought it the guy was gonna be 130lbs heavy, jerking two 70lb bells..lol

[Haggbart81]

Luckily this doesn't apply to EVERY kb-user. I've trained with heavyweight girya world champion Vasily Ginko in Latvia, and he's one of the most humble guys I've met. And he looks more like a power lifter than a girevik. I train brazilian jiu jitsu, and it's usually the least skilled guys who think they are tough as hell. With experience comes perspective and humbleness.

I use kettlebells most for cardio and core-strength, and add heavy barbell deadlifts and presses for strength and mass.

[zodawg0079]

As a martial artist, I used to think I was in good shape. It took only one kettlebell workout to really put me in my place. I was toasted muscularly and metabolically. So it does humble you!

[Haggbart81]

A kettlbell in itself doesn't make you neither tough nor strong, as little as a barbell does. It's whether you use it right, whether you apply the correct technique to reach whatever goal you have.

The same way you can use a barbell for power lifting, olympic style lifting or doing sissy weight biceps curls - you can also use kettlebells different ways - you can train ballistics, you can train grinding exercises and you can train core.

Get it?

[Haggbart81]

What's your problem? I'd like to see you pose and lift next to for example Steve Cotter.

Don't you realize that there are weight classes in girevoy sports? And that it's a feat of combined endurance and strength?

And those guys don't care for the perfect tan or having a sixpack to show for. They're all about performance.

What's the point you say - but what's the point in soccer, icehockey, track running or strong-man contests? To win!

[irateyourvideo2]

nice shorts?

[bassmandavey]

don't laugh guys, people cry for these reps

[bravesst]

Guys,

For those who think this is pressing, this is a Jerk, and that's 80 percent legs when done correctly. Valery always demonstrates perfect form!

[steds1977]

'STI CAVOLI..

[david11111111]

Flawless technique for the task in hand. Impressive.

[kismet108]

Respect is all i can say!

[Kundaeli]

Total props!

[markcyst77]

zig, if you want to hurt yourself really badly keep doing behind the neck presses. Valery is a beast!

[rivershoe]

comrade please elaborate

[markcyst77]

It is unnatural and incorrect to pull or press weight behind your neck. You can hurt yourself by doing so.

[cactrotman]

No its not. The shoulder joint has the range of motion to allow for it however, the problem is not the exercise but, rather, the individual you bring to it. Most people have internally rotated humeri which will pull the scapula forward and allow for a decreased range of motion. The problem comes when people push their head forward or alter their spinal alignment when performing the movement.

Oh and Valery is awesome here. I know I couldn't do that. Lots of respect for that.

[toko62]

Mate when the shoulder is abducted and externaly rotated it is in the weakest possition regarding tendon strains and dislocation. The shoulder may be able to get to that possition but its an unstable possition to put load on it. That is why we dont pull or press behind our heads. Its not a death sentence but its a a risk that is not necessary when you can achieve the same results in a safe way

[mjeek]

respect!

[dalesalsa]

WOW! That all that I can say right now!!

[zigzzagz1]

made my shoulders ache just thinking about 130 reps with 140 lb total and I can behind the neck press 225 x 8.

[MagUalghairg1916]

This is insane. It's almost like he was in a state of hypnosis.
