Thanks Jeff. Stopped this exercise precisely because of the wrist banging!
Tip of the hat. Best video on the subject. You’re a great communicator.
Had to do double kettlebell squat snatch the other day and could barely do it with 16kg and th prescribed weight was 24kg
I’ve never tried Kettlebells but I will tomorrow. Any chance AthleanX could talk about dumbell snatches?
Jeff, all good but elbow is too far out and also remember to keep thumb closer to clavicle.
Thanks Jeff. That was a great tutorial on how to do a kettlebell clean…
How is this guys channel not bigger? Quality content right here
What’s agood weight to start with if you’re a newbie to exercise?
Perfect explanation, this is the reason I stayed away from cleans. Thanks
The key is to spiral the weight around the wrist. It’s timing and form. Gets harder after a few sets with the last couple of reps. God knows I’ve smashed my wrist a few times with a 24kg kb. Wrist guards are essential for the novice.
Great vid. When the wrist is in neutral both flexors and extensors or agonists and antagonists are flex at the same time. That’s pretty cool.
Great video. Learnt so much for both snatches and cleans. Loved it. Thanks so much.
WARNING this guy is clueless about kettlebell training. Sloppy form, doing it wrong, bad advice.
Amazing physique, clearly you do conventional weight training too?
Thanks Jeff. I’ve been training and bodybuilding for 30 years but have learned so much from your videos that have helped me correct some bad habits and technique. Now that we have this coronavirus pandemic, all the gyms are closed and I picked up a pair of adjustable kettlebells to get some workouts in at home. I’m still learning the kettlebell swing and I’ve watched many different videos that illustrate different variations and techniques. Did a search and seems like you do t have a video on the kettlebell swingpretty surprising considering you are a guru and maybe the most respected trainer on YouTube. If you have the time maybe you could post a video on the kettlebell swing as well as a few more basic kettlebell movements or excercise a that us bodybuilders can utilize while the gyms are shutdown. Would be much appreciated and while doing some ok e searches I’ve come across a few others who have also purchased kettlebells I. The past week 😉
Thanks Jeff and stay safe
That’s how the kettlebell naturally moves. No natural movement needs instruction.
You have thee most perfect physique. Now, here is a guy who knows how to keep it natural and not overdue it [and try to get more huge and ridiculously huge]. Congratulations on achieving such a well balanced approach, while being Mr. Ripped.
Love your videos brother ���� Going to show my girl as she’s never done these. I know how to, but it’s easier if you have someone explain in simple and perfect terms as you do
Just started my clean and press, take a kettlebell with me in the van because I work away a lot. Thank you for the tip, it’s helped a lot ������
I understand the concept but I still can’t successfully do it in a doubke clean. My forearms are very swollen and bruised ��
Jeff Cavalier, and Steve Cotter. Two men you’d want to get your KB knowledge from.
