Don’t Buy a Heavier Kettlebell Until You Try This!
January 5, 2009 by admin
Many people are always looking ahead at the next heavier kettlebell and think that’s the only way to make progress within a kettlebell training program. However, many people simply don’t want to or can’t keep investing in heavier and heavier kettlebells.
Can you blame them? I mean honestly, if you’ve been around kettlebell training for a while you’re were probably sold on the benefit of having one standard tool to work with and develop your fitness and performance program around. We were told that all we needed we’re the standard kettlebell sizes of 16,24 and 32kg. Now’s there’s an in-between weight for each size.
Before you run out and buy a heavier kettlebell make sure that you’ve exhausted all your other kettlebell training options with your current kettlebell fleet.
If you remember last week’s kettlebell training video, Pam showed a kettlebell drill that can be done with one light kettlebell. This week Pam highlights a tough kettlebell drill that can be done with 2 light kettlebells.
This drill is only one variation of a skill known as a Two-Hands Anyhow and many more variations exist. We’ll highlight some more in future weeks. Stay tuned.
Good info. An oldschool forgotten lift.
Very nice Pamela!
I like that alot and here’s me trying to think of exercises to teach tomorrow at my class thank you! I like to thank you guys for the newsletter I will use this ex.
Haven’t done that one for along time! Great demonstration!
Happy New Year Pamela and Jason!
I saw Pamela demo a 2 Hands Anyhow in person with heavier weights, she is one strong lady!!! Thanks for the moto clip.
Awesome Pam,to bad i just got home from the gym and did my windmills today,hmm maybe I’ll give this one a go tomorrow
Thanks to all. This one is great. It looks hard, and then when you give it a whirl you know it’s hard. It’s great because it allows you to put lighter bells to use and get stronger at the same time.
Let us know how you do with it!
Hey Pamela, I like the exercise…but with one exception. From a standpoint of injury prevention, curls with kettlebells place the wrist in a compromising position due to the difference in leverage between kettlebells and dumbbells. I modified it by finishing the windmill with the kb staying down, then cleaned it to my shoulder, and finished with a press…while keeping the other kb pressed overhead.
Thanks for all the great videos you send.
Kettlebells rule!
