Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: - Simple no-nonsense explanations - No difficult poses - Progressions - Paying attention to often neglected areas - Gain mobility and flexibility to ward off any injuries - Possibly even alleviate or fix back problems - The art of movement Great for people in their 30's, 40's and 50's who want to regain the freedom to move, and more importantly, retain the freedom to move till their 60's, 70's and 80's. Increase your performance and reduce the chance of injury during kettlebell training, crossfit, martial arts, or other physical activities. These may be the only stretches you'll ever need to work the whole body from every angle, injury-proof yourself, increase range of motion and strength at the same time. Comes with alternatives and detailed descriptions. These are not some collection of what's cool or the hip thing to do, these are the movements, exercises, and stretches that I've been using for years, and will keep using. Got back pain? As a hiker, BJJ practitioner, crossfitter, kettlebell enthusiast, and heavy lifter myself, I sometimes experience joints out of place. After performing some of the movements covered in this book I hear/feel things moving back into place. With that said, I've not had to visit a chiropractor for many years. I certainly think that there are some good chiropractors out there, and for certain people who lack the knowledge, a chiro is highly recommended, even by me, someone who prefers to rather gain the knowledge and/or handle everything himself. Strength! Before you go buy this book thinking that this is about gaining huge muscles and insane strength, allow me to explain why I have the word “strength” in the title. The strength you will gain from this book is that which is hidden in the form of isometric contraction, core strength from some of the movements, and strength from the small section dedicated to mobility through resistance. I mention this now as I don't want to disappoint you. If you're after a good book to gain strength, search for THE BIG FOUR strength program or Master The Kettlebell Press, all by Cavemantraining. Photos If high-quality, photo model, top-notch photography is what you're after, don't buy this book. Again, I want you to get what you're after and not be disappointed. I basically shoot my own photos, either on a timer, or with my wife or son. I then process them through Lightroom and play with it, I enjoy this process. I did not hire some hotshot photographer to make the photos. One day when these books start paying enough money to live off, I will hire some photo models and a hotshot photographer and redo all photos. For now, these will have to do. YOU NEED THIS! This is the stuff you need to do to feel and move well. We all know how to do the bicep curls, bench press, deadlift, and whatever else to look good, but we tend to neglect the work and time we should invest in ourselves to give back, to stay injury free, to move better, and all this will translate into better performance and results in other areas of your life and training. POORLY MADE This book is poorly made. Hah. Yes, I have had this feedback on two other books, and I take feedback seriously, I do not want you to feel like you wasted your money, I take pride in the work I provide, I invest a tremendous amount of time into the work, I do the best I can to translate and describe that which I know can help people across the world. If that is not good enough for you, I'm available to chat about this, to answer your questions, and to help you in person. No payment required, assuming the topic is the book you purchased, and the question is within reason. My point being, read the information I present to you prior to buying, then make up your mind about whether this is the right info and presented in the way that's going to work for you. Peace.

Book excerpt: The kettlebell snatch is a full body exercise that delivers amazing effects. The snatch can be used to increase cardiovascular endurance, muscular endurance, strength, flexibility, core stability, explosive power, and much more. The snatch truly works each and every major joint in the body, ankles, knees, hips, shoulders, elbow, and wrists. For strength, you can't deny the major areas that will improve, such as, latissimus dorsi, deltoid, triceps, erector spinae, abdominals, glute, hamstrings, calves, hip flexors, quadriceps, lumbrical muscles, and many more. All these properties make it the king of kettlebell exercises, an exercise everyone should include in his or her training. Mastering the snatch takes time, as someone who has completed 532 unbroken snatches in 30 minutes, working with kettlebells for over a decade, and trained thousands of people across the world, I'm able to break down the snatch step-by-step in such a way that you can go from zero to comfortably snatching at the end of the 21 days. The snatch is an exercise in which a weight is lifted in one continuous motion from start to overhead with an explosive movement in which the weight arrives at the top through velocity generated at the start till approximately middle of the full movement. This kettlebell book includes many photos of the exercises and drills broken down step-by-step. Bonus links to videos which demo the full movement and drills. 21 days to kettlebell snatchDay 1: Practice hook grip/hand insertionDay 2: Practice movement for the pendulumDay 3: Practice pendulum low swingDay 4: Practice pendulum swingDay 5: Practice pendulum high swingDay 6: Keep drillingDay 7: Practice rackingDay 8: Practice assisted hand insertionDay 9: Practice drop into rackDay 10: Practice assisted half snatchDay 11: Practice half snatchDay 12: What fails firstDay 13: Practice pull-outDay 14: Practice push press and full dropDay 15: Practice full snatch one kettlebellDay 16: Practice dead clean one kettlebellDay 17: Practice dead snatch one kettlebellDay 18: Practice double kettlebell pendulum swingDay 19: Practice kettlebell pulling swing and snatchDay 20: Practice double kettlebell swing snatchDay 21: Practice snatch “A very comprehensive guide covering a wide range of what novices and enthusiasts need to know about the kettlebell snatch. Well detailed for trainers and trainees with many video links. A book that will help with good snatching and variations.” Olivier Vaudour Professional Kettlebell Sport Athlete Bonus videos This book includes links to videos, however, all information for the snatch is contained within this book, the videos are to be considered a bonus. New dimension of training Knowing how to snatch adds a completely new dimension to your training, not just by using the exercise itself for multiple reps and programming it within your workouts, but also for things such as getting heavier weight overhead that you would normally not be able too. This assists with creating a new dimension of strength through exercises like heavy static overhead holds/walks, overhead reverse lunge, etc.

This volume covers kettlebells carries, cleans, curl, and getups. Each subject has just enough information to keep it basic and understandable. Kettlebell Carry Support and move a kettlebell from one place to another. The support can be provided in the form of overhead, racked, hanging, or a mixture of aforementioned methods. Kettlebell Clean A kettlebell clean is an explosive lower-body powered movement that lifts a kettlebell from a lower position to a higher position which is called racking position. The clean can be performed from the ground (dead), hanging position, or a during a ballistic movement like the swing. Anytime a clean is performed with a swing, then that swing can be either one of the following movements, hip hinge swing, pendulum swing, or squat swing. Kettlebell Curl Curl refers to the curling motion which in exercise can be performed with the elbow or knee joint, i.e. Biceps Curls or Leg Curls. Think flexion and extension of the elbow joint, or decreasing and increasing the angle of the elbow joint. When it comes to kettlebell training the common curling exercise used is the biceps curl, although technically speaking the leg curl could be performed laying down and the foot through the window of the kettlebell. Kettlebell Get-up To get up into a fully erect position any way possible from laying flat on the floor. This can be done with 1 or 2 kettlebells positioned overhead or racked.

The information in this book will allow you to pick kettlebell exercises and create your own kettlebell workout and/or verify that you’re doing the exercises you’re already doing, correctly. This volume covers kettlebell combos, isolation, and multi-planar exercises. Each subject has just enough information to keep it basic and understandable. Kettlebell Combo A kettlebell combo is a combination of several exercises put together and performed one after the other, usually in a flowing manner. Combos can be as simple as 2 exercises combined, but also as complex as 6 exercises or more combined. They are also referred to as a complex. A good example of some well-known combos are the clean and jerk, clean and press, a good example of a more complex combo is the UKC (Ultimate Kettlebell Combo) which consists out of a deadlift, hang clean, swing clean, swing, half snatch, and strict press. A really simple but powerful combo is the double kettlebell half snatch and squat thruster, also known as WBKC (World’s Best Kettlebell Combo). Isolation Exercises This book wouldn’t be complete without some isolation exercises. Isolation exercises are those that involve only one joint and a limited number of muscle groups. Isolation allows you to focus more and go heavier. A good example is an exercise that is performed standing up, standing up will require more muscle recruitment, whereas a laying down exercise will take out all those muscles that were required to stand up, i.e. calves, quadriceps, gluteals, erector spinae, and many more. Multi-planar Exercises The exercises listed in this category are not the only multi-planar exercises, there are many more, a good example of a popular multi-planar exercise not listed here is the kettlebell snatch. The reason the exercises are listed under this category is that there was not one parent exercise category under which they fall. In basic terms, multi-planar exercises are those that go up, down, back, to the side, etc. they move through multiple planes of movement in one rep. A good example of a non-multi-planar exercise is the shoulder press. Note, whether an exercise is or isn’t multi-planar doesn’t make it a bad or good exercise, it just describes that it goes through multiple planes of movement.

The information in this book will allow you to pick kettlebell exercises and create your own kettlebell workout and/or verify that you’re doing the exercises you’re already doing, correctly. This volume covers kettlebells presses, push-ups, rows, and snatches. Each subject has just enough information to keep it basic and understandable. Kettlebell Press The press and push movement are very similar when you look at the arms, they’re always extending, whether overhead or above the chest (laying down), however, there is a clear difference between the two. With the press, you exert physical force on the kettlebell to move it away from you rather than to move yourself away from it (push). Kettlebell Push-up Similar to the press, you exert physical force on the kettlebell, but in this case, it’s in order to move yourself away from it. A push-up done on the floor would be pushing yourself away from the floor. If you take the same push-up position and turn it around—laying flat—and perform the same movement it becomes as press as you’re moving the object away from yourself. Kettlebell Row When looking at the movement in boat rowing it’s always a pull and push off the oar. In the context of kettlebell training, a row is always a pull as gravity replaces the push. A row has to be performed in such a way that you’re acting directly against gravity. The focus of the kettlebell row are the posterior muscles of the upper back. Kettlebell Snatch A snatch is a movement in which the kettlebell rapidly raised from a lower position—always below the hips—to above the head in one continuous smooth explosive movement. An example of a few common start positions are dead, hanging, and swinging.

The information in this book will allow you to pick kettlebell exercises and create your own kettlebell workout and/or verify that you’re doing the exercises you’re already doing, correctly. This volume covers kettlebell squat, swing, and windmill exercise variations. Each subject has just enough information to keep it basic and understandable. Kettlebell Squat The squat is a movement in which three joints flex, namely the ankle, knee, and hip joints. During the movement, the objective is to get the hips as low to the ground as possible while keeping the shoulders as high as possible. The squat can be performed in with the kettlebell(s) overhead, racked, or dead, however, when dead, it will be moved to the category of a lift. Kettlebell Swing A swing takes place when an object moves back and forth or from side to side while suspended. The swing is the foundation for many other exercises, such as the clean and snatch. The swing can be actioned as a pull or pendulum. The most common variation outside of the sport world is the pulling version whereas in the sport world it’s the opposite and the pendulum is common. Kettlebell Snatch A snatch is a movement in which the kettlebell rapidly raised from a lower position—always below the hips—to above the head in one continuous smooth explosive movement. An example of a few common start positions are dead, hanging, and swinging.

The information in this book will allow you to pick kettlebell exercises and create your own kettlebell workout and/or verify that you’re doing the exercises you’re already doing, correctly. This volume covers kettlebells isometric, lift, kneeling, and lunge exercises. Each subject has just enough information to keep it basic and understandable. Kettlebell Isometrics Isometric relates to muscular action in which tension is developed without contraction of the muscle. There is no movement, action, or change, also known as static. A good example of an isometric exercise is the plank or iron cross. Isometrics can also be mixed with dynamic exercise, for example, a squat with frontal hold. Kettlebell Kneeling To kneel means to be in or assume a position in which the body is supported by a knee or the knees. You can perform movements into kneeling positions like surrenders or you can perform exercises in which you remain in kneeling position like kneeling hip thrusts. Kettlebell Lift To lift something means to raise to a higher position or level. In effect, almost all kettlebell exercises could be thought of like a lift, i.e. snatch, press, clean, swing, etc. However, we’re going to classify a lift as a movement in which the kettlebell is brought from a low to a higher position via a slow movement. We’re excluding explosive movements as they have their own classifications, i.e. press, snatch, clean, and swing. Kettlebell Lunge To define the lunge a few assumptions will be made. The dictionary defines the word as making a sudden forward thrust with part of the body, in our context that part of the body would be the leg. A lunge is also the basic attacking move in fencing, which is very similar to the lunge exercise as we know it. The lunge as we know it not only moves forward but all different directions, back (reverse), side, etc. The difference between the lunge used in fencing and exercise is that the back knee usually bends and gently taps the floor to set a standard for depth.
