What to expect (Lift Progressions): We start you off with a dowel, slow and easy (don’t worry, your sweat glands will definitely be working) Why Lifting works: the barbell snatch and the barbell clean and jerk are amazing exercises. When it comes to developing speed, athleticism, and total-body power, they are second to none. These Olympic lifts engage nearly all of your muscles to move weights farther and faster than conventional exercises, and they activate your fast-twitch muscle fibers—the muscles with the greatest potential for size and strength. Plus, they look a heck of a lot cooler than most conventional exercises What is a Kettlebell? A kettlebell is a traditional Russian training tool that has been used since the turn of the century to develop full body conditioning and fitness. A kettlebell looks like a cannon ball with a handle. The shape of the kettlebell allows for unique positioning of the weight directly above your center of mass (unlike a DB or BB which must be held in front of the body) and allows you to keep your hand and wrists in neutral alignment, which enable for greater endurance and longevity in the core lifts so that you can produce a much higher volume of exercise and thus greater conditioning and fitness. Some of the benefits of kettlebell training include: Improved strength Incredible work capacity (strength endurance) Enhanced athleticism – flexibility, coordination, balance etc. Weight loss Injury prevention Mental toughness Lean & functional muscle mass Strengthening of the entire posterior chain Core strength Sport and combat applications
