This Year's Best Kettlebell Workout

There are many who wonder where the strength of Russian kettlebell masters is coming from. Well, the masters owe it to their core - their core muscles. These masters have already conditioned their bodies in engaging their core muscles in most movements they make. This only means that whenever they are lifting something, they are not only using their arms and hands.



Whenever these masters are lifting, they use more of the muscular power from their abdominal muscles and other connected muscles. To sum it up, they can use around a hundred or almost near a hundred percent of total muscular strength when lifting. This can't be compared to anyone using only the legs or arms for working out. Lower extremities can provide 50% or even less to a person's overall muscular power whereas 25% is exerted by the arms.

It is the main reason why masters of Russian kettlebells are very strong that they can even be called as "superhumans" with how they are using their bodies. If you are interested with having the same strength as what kettlebell masters have then there are workouts that you can do to have similar strength with them. What you only need is the heaviest Russian kettlebell that you are able to lift and you begin the exercises as soon as possible.

Kettlebell Double Rows

One of the considered undertrained muscles that are also difficult to train and target is the back muscles. Luckily, with just using 2 kettlebells, you can train your back muscles and start increasing its strength in just several weeks.

This exercise is your best partner to develop your back power and arm strength. Putting 2 kettlebells on each of your feet's side, start bending at your waist until you achieve half-squat pose while your knees are bent slightly. Picking up the kettlebells, pull them to the level of your invisible pocket while making sure that your back muscles are being used for pulling it. Avoid letting your arms do the work!

Let your back muscles handle the load and slowly let your back muscles pull the resistance. Perform it in 5 sets of 10 repetitions. In this exercise, you can also start using lighter kettlebells and turn to heavier ones as you progress.

Kettlebell Double Swings

This is where your knowledge about kettlebell workouts could start. It is considered as the basic movement where other forms of exercises are derived, so, you must perfect it. For practicing your strength and coordination, it is recommended that you use both hands as you swing the kettlebells. Get started with putting the kettlebell just in front and slowly go in a squatting position while taking a firm grip on the handle. Gather all force on your core and then straighten up.

In this position, your kettlebell will be swinging upward. As it reaches your chin level, just use a split second to let go and it will break its momentum that will make it descend. While the kettlebell is going down, just follow its downward arc to finish the swing. When you perfect this exercise, you can slowly do other exercise like the one mentioned above.
