As part of the modern revolution of kettlebell training, we're big proponents of the basics that provide the most bang for your buck whenver you decide to pick up a kettlebell. The online world offers many different approaches to kettlebell training - some seem solid and others seem questionable.
With this video, we want to serve you top 10 worst kettlebell exercises that you should immediately ban from your exercise regimen and dump them on the iron graveyard - as the great Jeff Cavaliere from Athlean-X would say.
However, the goal of the video is not to talk smack about certain kettlebell exercises and then leave you wondering on what to do. We also consider it as our reponsibility to serve you the best kettlebell exericses (that have proven to work!) to do instead!

Bottom up kettlebell press is a great one for me.

@jorgec55 2 года назад

Coming from the traditional free weights gym culture it took me a little over a year to realise that the KB provides the opportunity to develop an athletic physique AND a different corresponding state of mind, in which 'progress' is not based on sets/reps to failure but in a combination of timed basic exercises that encompass muscle groups and excludes isolation moves like bicep curls and tricep extentions. I have to admit that I do not miss going 1.5 hours to a gym and much less the sporadic deep back pain of deadlifting beyond my real capacity!

@pantameowmeow.s.1149 2 года назад

I'm trying to get back more into KB training. I work out at home in my house. We renovated (did it ourselves over two years ago) and now have very low cielings. If I smash a hole or make a dent in the house... I'm dead! I do free weights at home. I'm 58 y.o. and in good shape. It's a hard mindset to stop free weight style training. I go outside and try some swings... I need a mirror. This channel though, has shown me some of the errors I had learned from other RU-vid KB videos and online articles. Even this video has exercises I've tried.

@stefhirsch6922 2 года назад

@@pantameowmeow.s.1149 mirrors have their place. That said mirrors are overused in gyms. When we pay attention to what our eyes see we stop paying as much attention to what we feel. Being able to have awareness from the inside out is at least as beneficial as outside in. I’ve been training outside with kettlebells consistently for 13 years and I’ve had solid improvement in my lifts. Kettlebells ARE a free weight as are barbells, dumbbells, sandbags… - which are all valid strength tools. One of the advantages of a barbell is being able to easily lift heavy. I have big kettlebells for going heavy and I make sure that they don’t get neglected.

@SwissCheese112 Год назад

you dont need to deadlift to develop a strong or wicked back. i stopped deadlifting traditionally years ago. its far too risk an exercise. just do rack deadlifts, way more upper back contraction and focus, no risk of low back injury.

Thank you! This is a video that everyone who wants to use kettlebells safely should watch. I've tried a few of these no-nos, and you'r right on the money. They're often too painful to be performed safely. Question: From watching your video, it seems that many problems can be addressed by simply performing three basic kettlebell exercises: the snatch, the clean & press (or just the clean) and the two-handed swing. Would you say that's accurate? Thanks in advance.

@cianmulligan5696 2 года назад

Nice one Gregory, I agree with you on all of these. I actually started out with light kettlebells a few years ago doing exactly these (and more terrible ones - look up Coach Ryan's early stuff!), and only after a while did I discover the fundamental KB moves - swing, snatch, squat, press, clean, TGU. One question: I think sometimes it's hard to distinguish between a "KB flow" and a "KB complex". Your standard LS workouts are technically complexes, but at two minutes per exercise this goes more towards endurance/time-under-tension training. What do you think of KB complexes that use the fundamental movements for much less reps (for example, 1-5 reps per exercise) but "flow" from one to the other? Maybe you have seen the Pat Flynn minimalist complexes that last for 15 minutes, for example? Would love to hear your thoughts on those. Thanks!

@josiahbrown5582 4 месяца назад

One of my favorite things about kettlebells is the tremendous simplicity which they offer. Just a handful of movements, properly executed, target every muscle group in the body. It’s amusing and sometimes a bit vexing how people try to create so many novel movements or adapt kettlebells to movements for which there are other, better tools. If I wanted to do isolation exercises, I’d just go to the gym. I use Kettlebells cause I can cover everything with just some swings, snatches, presses, and windmills.

I’d also add one more (potentially) dangerous move to the list that always gets overlooked, and that’s simply picking up your KB and carrying safely when setting up / putting everything away. Those still count as reps, people, and they can injure you if you don’t maintain good form.

for russian twist you can have the KB at your side on the floor and twist and grab it then bring it to the other side and put it on the floor and rotate back with no weight and go back and pick up off the floor and bring it back and set down, repeat. that way you are only bringing the KB across once not a constant back and forth with while holding the weight.

@BB-ck7xe 10 месяцев назад

100% agree about the American KB swing. Bad for the shoulders, bad for the lower back and ultimately misses the whole point of the Russian swing as a ballistic hip-hinge by giving you more time at rest in between swings. Someone, somewhere has basically tried to create what they thought would be a more extreme version of the Russian swing, but it’s basically just a crap snatch that shortcuts all of the discipline and practice needed to perform that move properly.

American Kettlebell Swing... I didn't know that. I did some crossfit a couple of years ago and also (independendly) I did some probably too fast progressing bodybuilding exercises (shoulderpress). During that shoulderpress phase my right shoulder started aching. First I thought it's just a sour muscle or something... but it didn't go away so I didn't do anything that could straing the shoulder for half a year and still had some pain... turns out I probably got arthrosis there. Looking back that's totally plausible, moving too much wait with probably not great technique. The american kettlebell swings I did probably didn't help either. It's a process that takes time, but at some point your shoulder joints are beyond the point of regeneration/repair and you got to live with that condition. So even if you can do a certain exercise (like the american kettlebell swing) without any problems, that doesn't mean that you're not heading into problems. You just don't notice anything yet. So yeah, exercise with good technique, slowly progressing instead of aggressively with poor technique and as I said... I didn't know that about the american kettlebell swing. Avoid exercises that have a high chance of hurting you for the long run (the long run meaning there is no way back).

@rudolphcarvalho8070 2 года назад

Lebe, I agree with most of the KB movements laid out here, except for the lying/overhead 2-hands on one kettlebell tricep extension. It is still safe if the user keeps the shoulder blades retracted and depressed, with minimal to no upperarm movement to isolate the triceps. Braced core and glutes in addition for the overhead tricep extension. In comparison the behind the back tricep dips can hurt the shoulder due to internal rotation of the shoulder capsule.

@lebe-stark 2 года назад

Great observation about the dips on kettlebells! I didn‘t think about this! I would still classify the standing tri-extensions as a more problematic exercise because of its final position that can literally leave you „hanging“. Even with DB, I always had my issues with them. - Gregory

@jonrwert Год назад

I think you're right about it being reasonable if it's lying down vs. standing. Also works the core well, maybe better, especially if you do a chair legs raise position and keep the lower back on the ground. I like it but doesn't feel like a high priority exercise with all the other things you can do with a kettlebell, though fun to isolate the triceps from time to time.

@gartenstuhl2396 4 месяца назад

Point 8: Does this also go for hip thrusters, which is a very similar exercise? If so, I have to heavily disagree with that. I doubt that a goblet squat works as well on the glutes as hip thrusters. Another very import point: If you have problems with the hip flexors you need to train the glutes to loosen them. Hip thrusters and glute bridge work the glutes but barely work the hip flexors (which is what you want) and I doubt that you will get the same benefit with the goblet squat. So again, couldn't disagree more. I still liked the video though.
