You’ll learn the basic foundational movements but you’ll also take away a heap of tips and tricks to apply to barbell ad bodyweight training as well.

Why is kettlebell training effective?

Used intelligently, the kettlebell can make you lean and strong in under an hour a week. The shape of the bell allows us to create a pendulum that allows safe and powerful movements using the swing, which, when taught the way we teach it, has the support of world-leading spine biomechanist, Stuart McGill, as one of the optimal ways to strengthen your lower back. In other words, you can generate an insane muscular and energy demand in a way that supports your health and longevity.

Some will say that the kettlebell is only a tool, and they would be correct, however, it is a tool that possesses several distinct advantages over some other popular implements. It is also the offset centre of gravity that allows us to generate thousands of kilos of force in a matter of minutes.

Kettlebell training is used by elite athletes, first responders, and people who are interested in getting strong efficiently. When you hold the kettlebell by the handle, it possesses an offset centre of gravity that can do good things for you: when you press weight overhead, it allows you to maintain a healthy shoulder position where the weight stays close to you and the joint is allowed to rotate naturally; when you squat, the bell teaches you to maintain your core musculature; and when you use the bell in a locked out, static position overhead, the weight of the bell is constantly helping to reinforce the connection of your arm to the rest of your body via the use of one of your bodies primary stabilisers, the lats. Crucially, the kettlebell allows you to move in a way that suits your body, whereas some other tools will force your body to conform to them.
