IMPORTANT: READ THIS FIRST BEFORE YOU SIGN UP FOR KETTLEBELL LIFTING
Since i took up kettlebell lifting, i have been known as “the kettlebell guy”. Nothing wrong with that. So everytime i talk about exercise or physical training, people always think of “kettlebells”.
Now i want to tell you that:
-kettlebell is not everything
-kettlebell cannot do everything
-kettlebell is not the ultimate in physical training
-kettlebell lifting may not be for you.
Physical training is not about kettlebells. If you haven’t known, and i will say this again, and i won’t get bored saying it: it is not about kettlebell, it is about movement.
A lot of people come to me thinking that they need kettlebell lifting to help them to:
-improve core strength
-get rid of some injuries
-fat loss etc.
Yes, kettlebells can do these. But what i want to tell you is that, you need to get your movement quality right first, then your results in kettlebell lifting would be better.
Let’s take the example of a squat first.
A lot of people especially in urbanised society cannot squat fully like i demonstrated in the video. And a lot of people are really stiff like a corpse. Yet they come to me for kettlebell training (they asked for training, but i will give them technique). If you are one of these people, you are looking for injury. I kid you not.
For those of you who have come to my kettlebell lessons, do you remember how big of a jump it is from the swing to the clean, in terms of technique? That is because you were not able to exert, absorb and redirect forces properly yet. You need a few sessions to get it right.
But wouldn’t it be more rational for you to learn to control your bodyweight first then learning to control an external weight? If you have done so, i bet that your kettlebell technique would improve much faster.
I won’t say much further on the whys. Now come to the hows.
I recommend these programs in this order when you come to me, regardless of classes or personal training:
1) Intu-Flow
2) Foam Rolling
3) Squat
4) Flowfit session 1-8
