Kettlebell Fundamentals (How to Handle + The Hike & Park)
The grip is vital to using the kettlebell effectively.
Holding the bell correctly is what allows for the proper safety and functional use of the bell. We are always maintaining the proper grip and hold of the bell. Always keeping the wrists and forearm engaged, to do so imagine breaking the bell handle. Much like you would snap a pencil. #ETGM

Kettlebell Fundamentals (Farmer Hold / Lat Engagement)
Posterior Chain, Core, Lat & Glute Engagement
Maintaining this alignment and engagement is crucial to having success with kettlebell athletics.
If you lose this you could be in a world of hurt.
The reason I am having you brace your entire body is because we want to simulate moving the heaviest weight possible.
I want you to prepare your Mind Muscle connection for moving the BEAST (48kg's / 106#'s)
If you train with light weight but brace your body like its heavy weight your rate of return on training will be increased significantly. Heavy weight will soon be considered light.

Kettlebell Fundamentals (Deadlift)
Deadlift fundamentals
*not including* (Braced Breathing)
Heels/Ankles even with the handles.
Sit back into your hinge position (athletic stance)
Hands follow crease of hips all the way down to the bell.
Grip the bell and simulate breaking the bell. Like you're snapping a pencil.
Before standing up or performing the exercise make sure your have your iron jacket engaged. (Core & Lats Braced)
Your tension between the hands and feet should feel equally distributed or equally loaded.
Once you are fully loaded explode to the upright position and fully lockout (Complete Brace). Tensing the glutes, pull the quads.
All of this should be done with your iron jacket engaged (Core, Lats & Glutes)
ProTIP: Breathe behind the iron jacket. don't let your ribcage rise.

KettleBell Fundamentals (Towel Hold)
Understanding the movement of the body when using a kettlebell is vital.
Don't try and beat the bell, don't race it to the hinge position.
You must have the proper timing in order to get the most out of your exercises.
Here we do NOT focus on quantity of swings or lifts.
QUALITY is what builds strength.
We must engrain the proper movement patterns into the brain.
Imagine doing each rep perfect.
If your form is failing, STOP
Don't try and work through bad form, this will result in injury...
Ask me how I know.
