Reverse engineering an elite athlete with the Russian kettlebell
When I taught a kettlebell seminar at the Westside Barbell Club Louie Simmons noted that I was doing reverse engineering of the movement of elite athletes.
At the last RKC kettlebell instructor course Senior RKC instructor Steve Cotter pointed out that at the RKC we do not teach you how to lift kettlebells. We teach how to move your body and the kettlebell is our tool of choice.
Pay attention to the subtle techniques in Enter the Kettlebell! and The Naked Warrior when you are lifting and your opponents in the ring, on the mat, or wherever your sport is contested might discover what the vague word ‘athleticism’ really means.
Russian kettlebell power to you!
