Book Master Kettlebell Grips

Download or read book Master Kettlebell Grips written by Taco Fleur and published by Cavemantraining. This book was released on with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains the most basic and fundamental information for kettlebell training, grip! Many years ago I decided to dedicate a book on grips, after seeing many people fumble with kettlebell grips during transitions and exercises. Knowing how to grip/hold your kettlebell is extremely important for efficiency and safety. Why should you learn about grips? It is important to know and understand kettlebell grips for efficiency and being able to work the muscles intended for the exercise in question. Employing an incorrect grip can mean pain; being uncomfortable; cause for injury; exhausting grip, forearm, biceps or shoulder muscles and losing focus on the muscles targeted with a specific exercise. Why use different grips? If you're asking this question, then you're asking the right question because knowing a lot of grips is cool, but knowing why you would change grip or use one over the other is even cooler and the part you should really understand. During kettlebell training, you employ different grips to make certain exercises more efficient, but you also change grips to increase difficulty and challenge other muscle groups. Sometimes when your training gets stale you might even employ a different grip to please the mind. While knowing kettlebell grips and when to employ them is important and one of the kettlebell fundamentals, the second most important thing you should start looking into is racking a kettlebell. It might seem insignificant, but a lot hinges on how you rack your kettlebell, in fact, some people give up on kettlebell training because they can't get comfortable in the racking position or can't find the proper position for the bell to rest. This book contains over 25 kettlebell training grips and comes paired with a photo for each and everyone. This is it, this is what you'll be building the rest of your kettlebell journey upon, without this information you'll be fumbling around with the kettlebell and even after years of training still look like you just started.

Download or read book Master The Lunge written by Taco Fleur and published by Cavemantraining. This book was released on with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even if you take just the one most important tip away from this book, it will be worth 10 x more than its weight in gold. The answer to why and when to choose the reverse lunge over the forward lunge. Understand how to create hundreds of lunge variations yourself. Learn how to fix and pick up on common issues with the lunge. “The lunge is functional as it is a transitory moment in walking where a squat with feet parallel is stationary. This adds a requirement for balance under load with motion, a situation where injuries and falls often occur. The lunge improves our human movement patterns by making them stronger in a practical sense.” Dave Murray The lunge is an important exercise everyone should include in their training for strength, stability, and even added flexibility. This book covers the basic lunge and its variations, muscles used, step by step break down, priceless tips that will help you perform better, know why to chose one over the other, and much more. Links to several videos of lunges with kettlebells are also included. “Following my knee replacement, the lunge is the hardest but most important movement to master as it utilizes all of the stabilizing muscles and tendons. The lunge also means that I will have a powerful base for nearly all judo moves and stances. Mastery of the lunge means that I’ll have functional movement for the rest of my life.” Stuart Rotman All Cavemantraining books: Master The Hip Hinge (currently viewing) On Amazon, iTunes, or CavemantrainingMaster The Lunge On Amazon, iTunes, or CavemantrainingMaster Kettlebell Grips and Racking On Amazon, iTunes, or CavemantrainingKettlebell Training Fundamentals On Amazon, iTunes, or Cavemantraining Contains the kettlebell grips and racking bookMaster The Kettlebell Clean On Amazon, iTunes, or CavemantrainingMaster The Kettlebell Press On Amazon or CavemantrainingMaster The Kettlebell Swing On Amazon or CavemantrainingKettlebell Workouts And Challenges 1.0 On Amazon, iTunes, or CavemantrainingFlexibility, Mobility, and Strength Without Yoga On Amazon, iTunes, or Cavemantraining “The lunge is important for strong muscles of the buttocks, we stretch the hip flexors and exercise the balance of the body.” Vjekoslava Petroci Fićković Table of Contents Master The LungeDefinitions and TerminologyMusclesBodyweight LungeQuadriceps AKA QuadsGluteus MaximusHamstringsStabilizersWeighted Lunge StabilizersWhat Is Pelvic Tilt and Why Is It Important to Know?Basic LungeMain PointsTrainer CuesImproved PostureForward FlexionLoad the QuadricepsRecommended FootwearWhere to Put Your Hands and Does It Really Matter?Lunge DepthRear LegSliding Rear LegProgrammingFor StrengthFor CardioFor ExplosivenessFor PowerFor StabilityFor FlexibilityMajor BenefitsBlack and White ProgrammingProgressionIssuesLower-back PainKnee PainLosing BalanceHow to Do the Weighted Racked Reverse LungeSome People Ask “Why Are Reverse Lunges More Taxing?”Bad LungeProgressionBecome Certified

Book Snatch Physics

Download or read book Snatch Physics written by Taco Fleur and published by Cavemantraining. This book was released on 2018-11-16 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

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.

Therefore, even if you have just one kettlebell, you can still complete the double kettlebell workouts and as you progress with your technique and strength, you can work your way up to double kettlebell work. Each of these workouts has been designed and completed by myself, they have been completed by other Cavemantrainers, and many of our private members. In other words, they have been tested before they got to you. When it comes to kettlebell challenges, usually, I include quite a few challenges in the book, this time, the book is full of workouts and I picked the best so that there was no need to include more than two challenges. There is so much info on one of the challenges that you really could spend the rest of your training days following the challenge and obtain some of the best results you've ever seen with your training.
