Side pressing is great and something unique to Kettlebells – check out this exercise and enjoy the burn:
If you want to master the fundamentals of kettelbell training and perform KB exercises with proper technique, you’ve gotta check out my friend Chris Lopez’s new Kettlebell Finishers program that includes as a FREE bonus his “Kettlebell Essentials” 17 video tutorial set.
This bonus alone is worth at least $50 and makes the insanely low price of the whole package seem miniscule.
I’m also working on 2 special KB workouts based on my CAGE Cardio system, but it’ll only go to those who grab Chris’ program so make sure you don’t miss the boat. I’ll send everyone who grabs Chris’ program the bonus on the weekend so watch out for an email from me.
Kettlebell training is often seen as a ‘hardcore’ way of working out, but it’s just another tool in your toolbox that can be used for some specific purposes.
One thing that I love about kettlebell training is the grip strength development, especially doing exercises like swings and turkish getups.
Another benefit to mixed martial artists of kettlebell training is hip power.
Kettlebell cleans are a great exercise to use in your MMA or kettlebell training workouts for developing hip power as well as a fundamental movement if you’re using KBs to bring the bell to the rack position for other exercises like squats and presses.
But I myself have had issues when I use a heavier bell with bruising my forearms.
Results from kettlebell training… if you’re not using the tips in this post.
I even broke a watch cleaning a kettlebell one time because I forgot to take it off!
You may be thinking, “Don’t be such a pussy Eric, man up!”
The thing is if your S&C workouts either stop you from training MMA or negatively impact your MMA training, you’ve got to find ways to eliminate or minimize it.
It has nothing to do with being tough – just being smart.
So I asked my buddy Chris Lopez who is a certified kettlebell training instructor through some crazy Russian dude to show me how to clean a kettlebell properly so you don’t have to use lighter weights because you’re killing your forearms.
And of course, I filmed it for you, so I hope you enjoy the video.
I’ve made these changes to my technique and they’ve helped tremendously. I no longer beat my forearms up during kettlebell training workouts whenever I do the clean!
Right now, he’s giving away 3 additional kettlebell training workouts!…
… but this offer ends this week, so make sure you check it out and if it’s right for you, pick it up.
Now, this is NOT a fight-prep program.
It’s good for general conditioning and for learning how to perform kettlebell exercises safely and effectively.
Again – it’s just another tool to have in your toolbox and investing in educating yourself always pays off more than you pay for it, but only if you put it to use…
In addition, after you take advantage of his bonus offer, I’ll hook you up with a kettlebell circuit workout that I asked Chris to design that would be beneficial for my MMA fighters – it’s an awesome circuit and yours free when you grab Chris’ Kettlebell Revolution program.
To claim this bonus kettlebell training circuit that Chris put me through that’s designed for MMA, grab Ketllebell Revolution 2.0 then enter your invoice # on the page here.
