Keep it simple stupid

Comrades,

Today I got to get in a great 45min workout with Team Leader Will Williams. We met at South Ardmore park with a 20kilo and a 24kilo bell. Some of my best workouts are the ones where I choose one Kettlebell movement and put a little spin on it. For example, we did a ladder of dead clean and presses(singles).

Dead clean and presss, R and L. Then Farmer walked the bell 50yrds, dropped them and ran back to the other bell. We really focused on our form. Powerful cleans and good grinds, thats it. Every muscle from my toes to my hands were burning.

It's time to start focusing on slowing down our movements, doing fewer reps and really focusing on your form. Form is #1 priority, no matter what. Whats the point in doing anything if you do not have proper form. This is why I spent the first part of my last class, doing basic swing drills.

So, if your training on your own. Don't think of some crazy routine or the latest Kettlebell move. Stick to the basic movements and try to master them first.

I am in the process of putting together a video clip on the 6 basic Kettlebell movements. These will be 3-5 min clips of each movement. I will be putting these up on my new site KETTLEBELLS.ME.

See you all in class.
