Kettlebell Muscle - The 2 Best Exercises to Build Super Fit Muscle!

Kettlebell at the Y by ymcapdx


If you are looking for some exercises to gain muscle then you have arrived at the best place possible! Kettlebell training is a style of training for guys and girls that want to build bodies to stand out in a crowd. If you are serious about your fitness and you don't mind turning some heads then the following 2 exercises are just for you.

1. Dual Kettlebell Man Makers: Now ladies don't let the name of this exercise turn you off because it is great for you too. This is a serious exercise to burn fat and build muscle for you better than anything. To execute this drill you will need a pair of kettlebells of equal weight. Place the bells between your feet. To start the lift properly clean both kettlebells to your chest and then immediately set them back on the ground about shoulder width apart in length. Now the next part is very important. Make sure that you don't remove your grip from the bells. As soon as you set them back on the ground perform a squat thrust while stabilizing your body on the kettlebells. Kick your feet back behind you placing your body into an upright push up position on the kettlebells and then immediately thrust your feet back up underneath you to stand up and clean the bells to your chest once again. Continue this process for about 10 reps with a pair of moderately heavy bells.

2. Dual Kettlebell Seesaw Presses: For this exercise you will once again need a pair of kettlebells of equal weight. To start properly clean the bells to your chest. Next, hold one bell at the rack position and press the other one overhead. Now as soon as you start to lower the first bell began pressing the second bell before the first bell is racked at the resting position. You are essentially pressing both kettlebells here up and down in continuous motion, hence the name seesaw press. This is a sure workout to build lean muscle and strengthen your shoulders as good as anything. If you want to optimize your workout to help you lose fat and gain muscle more quickly then combine this drill with the first drill mentioned in this article. Remember that anyone can train hard, but only the best train smart my friend.

The Kettlebell - 2 Muscle Building Drills That Will Change Your Physical Appearance For the Better!

If you really want to impact your fitness level, take your strength to new heights, and pack on the lean muscle mass then the ancient kettlebell is the key to your desire. Imagine forging your body into a mass of hard lean muscle with improved athleticism and core strength to accomplish nearly any task irregardless of your age, sex, or background! This tool can transform your training to something of an adventure that can help you to achieve what you never thought was possible, as long as, you are willing to have an open mind and are patient enough to learn. Check out these following 2 drills that can help you to change your physical makeup!

1. The Kettlebell Snatch: Now this is a hard-hitting lift that requires the knowledge of three prior lifts with the kettlebell in order to understand it's nature. You must be familiar with the base lift of the double-arm swing, then the more intense single-arm swing, then the even more intense single-arm high pull, and finally the olympic oriented overhead snatch! Wow, I got out of breath just writing all of that. Anyway, once you have an understanding of the three prior lifts mentioned then you will have a better understanding of what I am talking about if you are a beginner. To start, to execute all of the drills mentioned you must learn the dynamic of the "hip snap."

This action is vital in the role of training with the kettlebell. It involves you basically having to flex and extend at both your knees and hips forcefully, continuously, and smoothly. This is done in order for you to grip the kettlebell with a pronated (palms down) grip and swing it back and forth between your legs. This creates an arc motion and creates a serious amount of resistance in which the bell is being pulled away from your body throughout the duration of the lift. The overhead snatch comes into play here because this involves you taking the bell with one arm and converting that "away arc" of the swing into an overhead lift. This is ultimately done by smoothly transitioning from a single-arm swing, into a high-pull (where the bell is swung up laterally to your head), and finally coming out of the high pull by smoothly and forcefully punching your palm vertically to lock out the overhead snatch!

2. Duel Kettlebell Swings: This requires the use of 2 moderately heavy kettlebells. The double-arm swing is executed by you beginning with your feet slightly wider than shoulder width distance apart. Perform a proper squat and pick up both kettlebells. Perform the "hip snap" as described above to generate the force necessary to swing both of these kettlebells back and forth between your legs. Bring them to chest level. Give this a try and watch the lean muscle mass continuously pack on!
