Good video! I was also taught to try to have the legs as straight as possible, but if not possible what shouldbe done then? Who has the right to tell you thatyour not allowed to do an excercise, because of the lack of flexibility???

Especially tall guys have often trouble with that, but as long as you do the technique as good as possible DO IT THE WAY IT WORKS FOR YOU!

[MrProathlete]

this is sooo hard with a 20kg ....kills the shoulder

[docmazda]

so its actually more like a standing get-up then?

that makes more sense. i was reading how to do it on some website and was totally confused. this makes so much more sense. the only question i have is when you are bending down are you supposed to let your arm/shoulder rotate like in the video or keep it straight pointing away from you like youre holding it after the press?

with the bending of the leg, not everyone can touch the ground with their legs straight--think about it...

[TheDon001]

This looks horrible for your back..Is it?

[mikasddd]

its great for your back, just start out with a light enough weight to get the form good

[cornerstone111]

I can't do them, i've started off with a 24kg bell.

Note he is bending to the side and forward. It would be bad for the back if he was bending backwards. You use a light KB for this. It stretches and strengthens all the core muscles which is good for the back and the disks.

New at this and from what I've seen your form isn't optimal. REF: "Kettlebell Basics" Bret Jones

[bigmiggeth]

true and their are also many bad ways too for all of those exercises you named. But your a kettle bell man and I can't fault that. Happy lifting comrade.

[bigmiggeth]

for one his form is wack, he's not supposed to bend his leg and both feet are supposed to be at a 45 degree angle.

[speeddialcoach]

Well, in support of my form, that's the way I was taught at an RKC workshop, and its a way I've seen demonstrated on many kettlebell videos I have. To each their own, I guess, I haven't had any problems with this type of format of doing a windmill. The same could be said about the bench press, the squat, the deadlift, etc. There are many different opinions on the 'right' form for any lift out there.

The bending of the leg is actually an adaptation Pavel gave for accessing the piriformis in the Beyond Stretching Seminar DVD, so it isn't wrong. It's done both ways.

[MathisonStrength]

right, Pavel talks about it in super joints as well. One leg is straight and the one your bending towards is bent.

[Litarider]

It's sort of hard to tell with those baggy shorts but it doesn't look like your hip is out far enough. Just an observation.

[darkwhitedirewolf]

good demo thanks

[Laurenzissimo]

How much does that kettlebell weight in your hand ?

[speeddialcoach]

35#

[sagefli]

that thing does not weigh 35 lbs.

[garretcdpurd]

So naive kettlebells always surprise people when they pick them up. A true kettlebell is solid iron all the way through. 35, 55, or 88 pounds from russia with love.

[sagefli]

It just looks like a 12kilo bell to me, which is about 26lbs.

[oogp]

in ur oinion do u think two is better than one

[speeddialcoach]

It's best to master doing 1, before trying 2.

[oogp]

:) ok thanks

[henrik2k]

whats up with these kettlebells?, u use them instead of regular weights?, like a different kind of training?

[speeddialcoach]

They can be used primarily or concurrently with a strength training program. I like a kettlebell & bodyweight mix in my strength training programs mostly.

[juicejitsu]

nice but what happend to the clean?

[speeddialcoach]

Sometimes I clean it, sometimes I don't. In this video, I chose not to clean it, just hoist it up there with both hands.

[oogp]

haha

[PlanetMaker7]

good job

[bloodriotiori]

i'm trying that when i go to the gym today with my kbells :D
