► 90 Days Of Kettlebells - bit.ly/90days-of-kettlebells Obi Vincent is a CrossLifter who has one of the most popular kettlebell worktous on RU-vid. He's a very likable character with a lot of charisma and his content is packed with a high amount of value. - Gregory
Chandler Marchman is my guy!! I have gotten great results from his workouts but yes, would love to hear your take on his principles. He’s definitely all about hardstyle.
Obi is awesome. I have followed him for a couple of years. But...the cue you gave on his double kbell thrusters of thumb to back was freaking excellent! I realized that my thumbs are pointing inboard on my overhead presses. I tried the movement empty handed and felt the difference right away. Great stuff.
Dear Gregory,you are so much precise and clear explaining things...that Sometimes I can almost understand when you speak German (I 'm from Italy!!!). You are Amazing
12 kg arrive today...and it'll be awhile before I need the 16 I think. I consider myself pretty fit and strong, but that thing is a blue beast for me right now! Good content, Gregory. Really digging this kettlebell stuff! 👏👊💪
Would love to see you react to one of Zero Gravity Fitness kettlebell workouts. Igor is an absolute machine. His kettlebell workouts make this one look like a cake walk.
Obi comes from a body building background and then went into CrossFit, hence why he describes himself as a 'Crosslifter'. In CrossFit "for time" is shorthand for "here is the amount of work to be done, maintain good form but work against the clock" ie as fast as safely possible. "Amrap" would be "here are the exercises and loads, and an amount of time to work for, do as many rounds as possible (amrap) in the given time.
Could you pls also do some side comments on KB work-out and functional training video by Marcus Filly? I have been following all three of you, OB and Marcus for KB workouts and techniques. Thank you so much in advance!
Great video breakdown Gregory. I liked his warmup if maybe a little long? (those banded sidesteps I call monster walks, are great for glute activation, and the death march is also good but I get your point of potential issues if your mobility is limited). I'm with you on the American swings, and he was also doing it the way I see a lot of Crossfitters do it where they almost press the bell out at the top.
I hope all of your techniques are "perfect" in all of your videos. I am just beginning my kettlebell training journey and getting value a lot of value from Obi & Chandler Marchman and others. I guess you are the "standard" which everyone must be measured by. I was enjoying your channel but now I must "unsubscribe".
@@clevelandaglennable if you're getting value from Obi then power to you. I thought the commentary on his training and technique was pretty positive. Is Gregory the last word in kettlebell technique? No, and I'm sure he'd be the first to tell you the same 🙂 none of us are perfect, but he's a purist and there is a lot of garbage technique peddled by fitness trainers and influencers with very large followings, so I think the point of these videos is to respectively review the technique (I've never heard him bashing anyone). For someone just starting out I would think it would help to know if the person you're learning from is teaching the correct and - most importantly - safe technique. Good luck
Can you breakdown some of Eric Leija’s workout? He also has a kb clean tutorial. I can’t judge whether it is mechanically accurate or not, as I am still a beginner.
Watching him do the double cleans, I kind of think maybe he should rest for an additional second at the top, to really demonstrate the rack has been achived.
You are too kind Gregory! I'd RIP on these self-taught influencers showing missed cues, bad technique to the millions that watch. At 15:00 - nope you won't look like him from training kettlebells, he's on the GymShark payroll and only one route allowed when you work for them and it's not hard work and protein shakes! 😂
Bro- exactly. Internal Rotation up that high will (probably) cause spacing problems for most people. I HATE when people do that "american" style or whatever they call it. Look up "open packed" position for more info. Plus, the exercise adds nothing!
Lebe, coming from the perspective of a performance coach and a Physical Therapist..you do a great job with your reviews, you’re entertaining and offer solid info, but to “nitpick” just a little..there are no bad positions for the body (you refer to Overhead and IR shoulder in the video), there are only positions in which you find yourself in that the tissue load exceeds tissue tolerance = pain. So if that position is painful for you, yes avoid it and work (with a professional if needed) to slowly recapture that range. Be cautious in discussing “bad positions” because people start to avoid them like the devil, there tolerance in that position plummets from a lack of exposure, and then a load in that position that would not have been stressful or harmful previously now becomes too much and that is what actually causes injury. Expose yourself to the extremes under appropriate progressive loading and you’ll find yourself farm more resilient than if you avoided those positions
Thank you very much for sharing Dylan! You've mentioned some great points; especially the idea of exposing oneself to all kinds of movements/ positions. I should do better in articulating my thoughts. If we leave weights aside, I don't think that there's any "bad" position you can put your body in. However, I do see a certain danger with particular exercises once weights come in. This is where I draw the line. - Gregory
Thank you for pointing out that you wouldn’t get his physique with kettlebells alone. I love both bodybuilding and kettlebell training but I typically do them in separate phases. Like 12-16 weeks of bodybuilding followed by 6-8 weeks of kettlebells and then back to bodybuilding. Basically bulk up to get much bigger and stronger and then use kettlebells to right my conditioning and get lean before my next cycle. Not necessarily the best way to bulk and cut but definitely the way I enjoy.
Sounds like a good strategy Getting Wade! Bodybuilding doesn't really transfer athletically but even heavy bells have limits to build muscle mass. So again... WISE THINKING.
@@ShapochkinKirill thank you for the positive feedback! I would only clarify that having more muscle mass actually transfers really well to almost any sport (except maybe long distance endurance sports but it still generally holds). This is why athletes train hypertrophy in their off season. Even golfers. Again, I love kettlebells and appreciate your comment my friend 😁
Obi is awesome, but is an enhanced lifter so he does have a tactical advantage on natural lifters…. And please don’t say no he’s not…. Been around this game for 40 years… I’m well versed… but regardless… he’s a good person to follow.. Like I do with with u Lebe!
