Kettlebell Strength - Strength Endurance Training Movements!

Basically you have to know that there are different movements involved when doing different lifts. I have addressed the concept of slower tension related movements in one of my other articles so for this one I want to talk about strength endurance related movements. When talking about kettlebell training these movements are more for generating a high level of perceived exertion which in turn yields a high level of conditioning.

To start, when I talk about strength endurance related movements I am referring to lifts such as the commonly known double-arm swing, single-arm swing, and overhead snatch. These aren't all, but they are some of the more common related lifts. If you have ever executed these with the kettlebell then you understand that they produce tremendous cardiovascular conditioning and make weight-loss an easy task! These type of faster executed strength endurance lifts are great for alternating with the slower tension related lifts. By doing this you give your body overall balance and challenge it to keep adapting for optimal strength and fitness gains. The faster movements also stimulate the nervous system giving you sharper more forceful muscular response and contraction!

The key to lifting with kettlebells or any other form of strength training is to make sure that you are covering as many of the different types of movements as possible. This will ensure you a great deal of success in obtaining the highest level of your personal level of fitness. Be diverse in your training and utilize the kettlebells in every way you can!

Kettlebell Strength - 2 Lifts to Execute With Kettlebells For Great Overall Body Strength!

If you want to improve your flexibility, strength, power, and fitness then you will have to include the following 2 lifts into your kettlebell strength training program. Permit yourself a minute to read and study the following 2 lifts.

1. Clean, Squat, and Press: This particular lift is wonderful because you are implementing both the push and pull movements in the lift. To begin, you place the bell between your feet. Make sure your feet are slightly wider than shoulder width distance. Execute a squat and grab the bell with your hand (Note: for this particular exercise we are doing a single bell lift). Next perform a clean movement bringing the bell to rest at your chest level. Your arm with the bell should be at rest just outside your midline and against your torso. From here execute another squat. Upon ascending in the squat press the bell above your head. Properly lower the bell to the floor and repeat for subsequent reps. Note, the intensity of this exercise can be adjusted by adding another bell and doing 2 kettlebells or by increasing the weight.

2. Single-Arm Overhead Squat: Now this is one intense drill that you can perform to really work on building superior core strength, balance, and overall stability. Here you want to start the same way as the clean, squat, and press drill. Execute a squat to grab the bell to clean to your chest. Next, press the bell overhead. Now the next part is important. Make sure that your shoulder is locked into the socket and that you keep your elbow locked in place. This locking allows you to support a heavier load for the movement. From here you want to squat keeping the bell overhead the entire time. This drill is great for developing amazing shoulder stability, core strength, and overall fitness. This should be practiced regularly in your kettlebell training program.
