Kettlebell Strength - You Better Pay Attention to Form Before Jumping Up in Weight!

If you are part of the kettlebell community then you understand the significance of what I mean when I talk about jumping up to the next level of kettlebell. The reason is that true Russian bells jump in 8.8 lb increments. So if you are used to doing certain lifts with your bell and want to make the next jump then your technique better be sound.

Kettlebell training is a whole different world of strength training than most people are used to when they first start it. Strength is certainly tested and it is a badge of honor among kettlebell enthusiast to test themselves by lifting heavier bells. However, the jump to a heavier kettlebell is not only a test of strength, but it is a test of one's skill. Your technique must be flawless for each and every increase. Jumping from 20kg (44 lbs.) to a 24kg (53 lbs.) is much more demanding than you might think. If you don't believe me then when you make the jump simply attempt to execute the same number of swings, snatches, or turkish get-ups with the new bell and you'll quickly see what I am talking about! Because kettlebell lifting is much more of a technique oriented style of training you develop a greater amount of total body muscular control. This is certainly amplified when you do make a jump or even a significant leap in poundage to a heavier bell.

To be a real kettlebell enthusiast you must be a focused individual. Make sure your technique is sound and solid. Before you know it you'll be literally throwing around some real weight!

Fitness Beginner's Mistake - The Importance of Taking the Time to Learn and Relearn a Technique!

As a strength and conditioning specialist that has been training people and athletes for the last 7 years I can say that I honestly see a very common mistake in people almost across the board. The biggest problem with beginners is that they want to go go go! Instead of slowing down and taking the proper time to let all the instruction of proper technique settle into their brains they can sometimes be in too much of a chaotic rush!

I have worked with people in the past that respect what I do, but they feel that sometimes they should be moving at a faster rate from one exercise to the next as quickly as possible to benefit from the full workout. Now it wouldn't be my job to tell them differently, right? Well, of course I do. All to often I hear that people are going through some sort of routine at home or at the gym and end up getting hurt or breaking something. This is generally due to having poor technique and an impatience to progress to a level of flawless technique. Time should be taken to learn and relearn proper form in a new lift in order to gain the full benefit from it. Learn how to reign yourself in, especially on lifts that are of high complexity and require total mind and body focus for perfect execution.

Just remember to learn the proper steps that are necessary to have before moving to the next level. When you were a baby you didn't go from crawling straight to running! Be smart.
