Explosive Power - The Single Best Exercise For Football Explosiveness!

Football requires explosive power and the only way to get that is to train your body to produce it! Workout routines for football have to be catered so that the proper training response will produce the same actions that you incorporate on the football field. Check out the following single best exercise below to get the explosive total body power that you need to perform.

I would like to introduce to you the dual kettlebell squat jump. For this drill you will have to have a pair of relatively light kettlebells of equal weight. Start by standing on a flat surface and hold each kettlebell by your sides. Perform a normal squat with the bells down by your sides and explosively jump up until your feet come up off the ground. Upon landing make sure that you land heel to toe (flat footed) and immediately descend into a squat in order to recoil to vertically jump again. Perform each repetition in continuous succession. The key to this exercise is to make sure that you perform every rep by smoothly transitioning from one jump to the next. This drill is great for developing total hip, core, and leg power for explosive speed and hitting force! Sounds like a recipe for success on the gridiron if you ask me.

Take the time to learn about how to include the kettlebell into your personal football strength training workout. In order to be successful your football strength and conditioning program has to be cutting edge. Train hard and finish the drill my friend!

Kettlebell Performance Training - 2 Kettlebell Drills to Improve Explosive Hip Power!

I can honestly say that the versatility of the kettlebell and its effects on developing the body go far beyond any specific fitness device that I have ever used. It impacts the body in so many ways that it almost causes immediate physical benefit and change! The following 2 exercises are tremendous for improving one's individual level of fitness and developing extreme athletic explosive power.

1. The Deadlift/Squat Jump Combo: You need 2 kettlebells for this particular lift. If you are reasonably strong and athletic then you might want to start with 2-16kg (35lb) bells. You want to stand over the bells with them between your feet. Your feet should be slightly wider than shoulder width distance. Enough for the bells to set side by side between your feet. The handles of the bell should be angled in the same position as a barbell would be if you were deadlifting it. Next simply squat down to grab the bells simultaneously and execute a perfect form deadlift. When you set the bells back on the ground after the deadlift then immediately execute a squat jump. After the jump immediately execute another deadlift. You see the pattern now.

2. The Full Range Swing: This one is pretty basic. You obviously want to learn the proper technique of the double-arm swing before you intensify this movement to do the full range swing. With the basic double-arm swing you basically are swinging the kettlebell back and forth between your legs using the force and momentum of our hips and glutes. With the basic swing you only swing the bell as high as chest level. When intensifying this drill we can do full range swings where you go 180 degrees with the arc of swinging the bell to all the way overhead! This involves way more explosive hip and core power to generate enough force to get the vertical lift with the bell. This is great for gaining explosive hip power and overall fitness and athletic performance.

Kettlebell Power - 2 Methods to Develop Strong Explosive Muscles With Kettlebells!

To begin, I want to make it clear that kettlebells aren't just used for endurance training. Let the truth be known that kettlebells are an awesome tool for building up one's endurance, but you can also obtain some great strength from the use of kettlebells as well. Check out the following 2 methods that you can apply in gaining strength in the handling and manipulation of kettlebells, and how they can also be a great supplemental tool for your strength program.

1. Getting Stronger Lifting Bells: Well one way to get better at building strength, and specifically building strength by handling kettlebells, is to get used to working out with heavier bells. You can progress and document your strength results with kettlebells just like you would with any other lift like bench-press, squats, and cleans. The key is to allow your body to adapt to the heavier load by steadily increasing the weight of the bell to get better at executing the same lift. For instance, if you are doing the overhead snatch then keep the reps low and consistent and steadily go heavier every set with another bell at the same rep count. Eventually you can further challenge yourself by adjusting the weight and reps to do more.

2. The Supplement For Strength And Explosiveness: Strength and explosiveness can be obtained from kettlebells from the first concept that I mentioned, but they can also be great at assisting you to get better with other lifts as well. For example, a lot of strength and conditioning programs use a lot of auxiliary lifts that include the use of smaller muscle groups to transition between the bigger lifts. These could include movements like bent-over rows, bicep curls, and leg extensions. One way to get more bang out of your strength and fitness program is to scrap the smaller auxiliary lifts and substitute them with something like the kettlebell swing or windmills. You will quickly find that gaining more muscular power and strength is easily brought on by the gruesome bell in this fashion!
