Kettlebell Ballistics – Episode 43

One of the most common questions we get when it comes to training with kettlebells is about what size kettlebell to use. Quite often we see students going too heavy with kettlebell ballistics (e.g. clean, snatch, swing, jerk). Ballistic exercises are more dynamic than grinds (e.g squat, row, TGU, windmill) and work on the power generation and absorption in a dynamic fashion,

If kettlebell swings are good, heavier must be better, right?

Like many things, it depends!

This episode is all about kettlebell ballistics and load selection. The MED team digs deep into the kettlebell swing and other kettlebell ballistics. Mike and Brett share valuable insight on technique, programming, optimizing your kettlebell ballistics.

If you truly want to improve your training (or your client’s training), perhaps it’s time to put your ego aside and train a little bit smarter.
