Kettlebell Strength Workout Circuit #2

[jkokich]

Man, that' some hard stuff! As a personal trainer, I really appreciate the importance of variety in your workouts, and adding kettlebell exercises, which had fallen out of favor, is a great idea!

[FitnessQuatsch]

Nice workout dude!!! bookmarked ;) c ya Paul

[mofo0912]

sceptics dont realize what they missing, the best piece of equipment out there.

[pistoff33]

NO doubt you are strong as fuck but this kettle bell stuff seems like a massive gimmick to me.

[MBodyStrength]

@pistoff33 The kettlebell has it's place. I found the strength I got from this was way more "functional" for martial arts and life in general than most anything else. There are a lot of holes though if you try to use this as you're only form of strength and conditioning. If anything, just incorporate a few exercises into your current plan. Even the biggest skeptics can appreciate it for it's cardio benefits if nothing else.

[xthexTxvirusx]

the pistol grip TGU looks like the KB is floating or attached to some string. it doesn't look real, but i know it is.

[IRA4life656]

the gladiator press. jesus H.

[TheConnor2792]

that weight is a lot fo be swinging around, what happens if ya make a mistake?

[facecheek]

@TheConnor2792 u break ur flat screen. Or ur ribs. Just dont mess up

[graffist448]

that is so awesome! I can't even hold my kettlebell with one hand the way you did doing that turkish getup. WOW. This is some serious motivation! Another motivation I get is from tracking my progress using the data I get from sites like "my fit assist" and using the calculators there. I can throw the data into an excel spread sheet and graph my progress. It helps a LOT before I can see my results visually.

[thebootcampkettlebel]

THIS WAS A GOOD DRILL THANKS

[stratocaster1986able]

Will these exercies build muscle?

[legion4400]

@wollenschrank how the hell is that boring?? Have you tried it??? If you don't like kettlebell why are you watching the videos?? These videos are awesome and the workouts kick ass!!!

[livewell44]

Love the videos! great way to stay/keep in great shape without pounding joints on treadmills

[kwak76]

This is pretty advance training with the kettlebell.

[Wollenschrank]

Boring!

[MBodyStrength]

@Wollenschrank seriously! Who the hell wants to do all that kettlebell stuff anyway?

[rmmeudt]

Best, great routine, nice job.

[HandsomeDynamite]

That is beastly. Wow.

[Reply39]

Looks like a good workout but, seems more like tricks...

[fucjthis]

excellent stuff, nice work

[destrian]

yo man... I'm a big fat punk rt now... started like a girl with a 25lbs bell... jumped to a 40lbs bell and am gettin my ass kicked... ironically i'm much better with a 35lbs bell (much better - cardiovascular system sucks i have no wind at all and dont seem to recover in between attempted sets). any tips on how to get my recovery between sets up?

[MBodyStrength]

@destrian - You can try "active recovery"... instead of sitting down between sets, try some joint mobility exercises to keep your blood pumping. Other than that, just try to keep a consistent workout plan going and you'll gradually improve your endurance. Good luck!

[destrian]

@MBodyStrength will give it a try... jumping rope has been killing me but i'll stick with it inbetween kettlebell sets. Do you think active recovery using a medicineball on a rope doing swings would be a good active recovery method?

[christuan]

Those anyhows are sick. Going to have to give that a try. Excellent vid!

[rclaypool]

OMG! That is no joke, great, work man, course for us intermediates, we can modify the weights and work up to the kb weights used in this vid...Impressive!

[isenstrider]

Ye, working out with a 40K kettlebell is no joke.

[SitnGoChallenge]

How are these kettlebells on the knees?

[lazur1]

@SitnGoChallenge If they hit your knee, your knee loses, big time. Otherwise, no problem.

[BlueSabb]

You make that snatch to palm look so easy.

[thanumber23]

very cool

[jdeuink]

I have just been doing these circuits for the past few weeks (I have done kettlebell training prior) and holy moly do they kick your ass. Im up to four complete run throughs of the circuit, next week I move onto all five. Nice routines to incorporate into a cross-fit schedule.

[kamniks]

Awsome, never seen a gladiator press before. And the snatch to catch Looks very hard!

[rmatthews66]

the anyhows made me puke. Then i smiled!!!!

[MikeBBTG]

That snatch to catch looks hard.

[timamac63]

Very good! I'm going to do this workout. I just started using KB's to help burn belly fat. I really like exercising with KB's-great for cardio conditioning.

[rocketpenny]

love it!

[yellow2000fluff]

That looks like It's for complete Twats ! I mean a day can't go by without doing that ! I'd be lost without My Kettlebell ! It's a way of life !!!

[faizalenu]

that wasn't just good, it was fucken' amazing :)

[sara01bart]

I love it, Marcus!

[fxdwings]

TGU with pistol grip. Sick.

[kwak76]

really advance stuff..

[krishnaxxxxx]

fuk u man

[GarethBrohier]

40 kg holy shit !

[btamboli]

you are the fucking man.... the work you do with the 40kg is somewhere i DREAM to be.

your workout is awesome, please keep em coming.

[MBodyStrength]

Thanks man. Appreciate the compliment.

[catchfigurine60]

ce nul fuck

[fxdwings]

Sick

[zenkahuna]

Nice play with the bottoms up Get Up. Smooth efficient use.

[weathered79]

are kettlebells like swimming do they work muscles you didn't know you had

[MBodyStrength]

in a way, yes. The first time I played with kettlebells I was sore in a much different way from when I would go to the gym.

[secretsquirrell13]

word

[Sillanpaa]

pistol grip turkish getups look sick. great way to advance the regular TGU. thanks for the tips

[fighting185]

those are some crazy exercises. definitely gna have to giv it a try. esp the gladiator press that looks like a killer core exercise. just a question thou..the snatch and catch looks awesome, but what benefit does it rly giv vs a normal snatch or two kettlebell snatch? does it improve coordination or somethin?

[MBodyStrength]

thanks, man.

The snatch and catch is a great one for hand eye coordination and is just something to add, not replace the snatch and double snatch.

[dallasgangsta187]

I have mad respect for you man! Is there a K-Bell circuit that will help me to build muscle, without leaning me up?? Sorry if it's a stupid question! LoL

[MBodyStrength]

thanks man! Try some double kettlebell work. Keep the reps lower and the rest longer just as you would with "traditional" gym workouts. Double clean and presses, alternating rows, double swings are all good. Like I said, keep the reps lower. Don't go more than 8 or so. Hope that helps.

Good luck!

[dallasgangsta187]

Great! Thank you sooo much man!

[ideveloper1]

Ok... got through the circuit 4 times, barely, with only 8k kettlebells because balance I can't balance with my 16kg (and am not confident yet to try snatch-to-catch in my apartment) w/that weight! Plus my grip needs work for the TGUs.

Many Thanks!

[MBodyStrength]

Glad you enjoyed the workout!

[ideveloper1]

Ok... got the snatch catches almost perfected w/16kg. What do you think of the 2-handed anyhows the way Pavel does them on the Russian KB Challenge? He almost 'windmills' them.

[MBodyStrength]

I like to make it more of an overhead squat. Nothing wrong with that but when you get into the heavier weights, you get a much greater range of motion and better workout (in my eyes) to have to squat vs windmillin' Try them both and see what works for you. Whichever one you prefer, stick with it and try to go up in weight.

[oculus1857]

Gladiators are WAaaaay Awesome! Showed that to some friends of mine and they fell away from their computers. ^_^

Think you guys will ever do a video teaching the 'Snatch and Catch'? Would be awesome.

[dawalli]

Those workouts look amazing! I've always wanted to try kettlebells.

[irishclubswinger]

Galdiator Press! I thought I was the only guy doing them, nice to see someone else!

[iforwms]

Really liking those Gladiator Presses, will have to try them out once I'm back from my holidays! Keep up the good work mate, and nice work on the 40kg snatch!

[nuninu118]

awesome-you make it look easy! great stuff-keep it coming!

[KettleTell]

Wow, this rocks! When I grow up, I want to be M. Martinez.

[Amitboy1980]

wow great send me more

[AudioMicro1]

Your are an animal! Great work out. What a great video sound track too!

[coachantonio10]

i like it its a different style of working out

[MBodyStrength]

That's the beauty of fitness. Always something out there to challenge yourself with.

[Baggio0318]

Like it, I really like it. Intervals and circuits are the way to go. Those gladiator presses look sick, I have been through so many kettlebell books and videos, not to mention my CPT stuff and I have never seen them before.

[MBodyStrength]

Gladiators are awesome. Great core and shoulder workout. Thanks!

[meckerschorsch]

Wicked

[dmc7707]

[csatabali]

[ewanmethane]

The gladiator press is new to me, love it!

Another great circuit, skilled exercises

[milhol]

Awesome stuff Marcus. I've never seen Gladiator presses before they look challenging. I really look forward to seeing more vids.

[grapplersgym]

Good looking workout Marcus

Mike

[mark9868]

Great routine and nice form Marcus! Your doing some serious weight and making it look easy!

[irishclubswinger]

Gladiator Press!!! Finaly someone else that does them. Sweet complex. Right now All I am working one is getting my double snatches with the 32kgs into triple digits.
