Kettlebell Workshop in Northern Cincinnati -

ALL Experience Levels WELCOME!

When: August 08, 2009
Where: Adrenaline Sports & Fitness
Time: 12-3pm
Investment: $97 (includes printed course notes)
Why: Because kettlebells may just be THE difference between where you are right now, and where you want to be! Click here for more details.

Here's what you'll learn at the workshop:

1. lifting style: the core philosophical differences between hard style & soft (or fluid-) style lifting; as well as how their training protocols differ; and how these differences could literally be the key to your breakthrough in sports conditioning, kettlebell sport-lifting, or epic health and fitness

2. core lifts: a focus on the critical role of the core kettlebell movements & lifts – swing, clean, snatch, jerk and long-cycle; these are the lifts practiced and performed by professional and amateur competitors the world around; our treatment of them is  fluff-free to ensure you get the biggest, fastest, most condensed bang for your buck; you won’t spend your hard-earned free time bogged down reading opinions and hearsay.

3. lift classifications: we distinguish kettlebell sport lifts from "feats-of-strength” and juggling; just knowing that the 3 classes exist puts you in the top 20% of all kettlebell lifters; knowing which lifts fit into which classes and why puts you even higher – 5% or better.

4. efficiency: small things make a big difference, particularly when lifting for duration to increase work-capacity; they're covered here in meticulous detail for your reference and ultimate benefit

5. mistakes:  there are 2 mistakes people make when lifting kettlebells that literally mean the difference between success and a never-ending plateau; you'll learn what they are and then have the choice as to whether you ever make them again

6. professional grade kettlebells: the truth about who, what, when, why and how – get the facts, so you’ll never wonder or be in doubt

7. lifting for time vs. reps: we spell it out completely so you know exactly how to lift like a competitor; even if you aren’t an athlete, the timed protocol (vs. reps) is the key to unlocking epic performance and fitness from kettlebells; we cover counting and timing in meticulous detail, for when you're training alone, in groups and when counting/timing for others.

8. pacing:  how to maximize performance, increase work-capacity and explode strength-endurance by learning pacing once and for all; we give you all the information you’ll need to make steady and consistent gains until you blow away yourself and those who watch you by moving weight that would have otherwise been impossible.

9. breath: 2 basic forms of breathing; when and why to use them; what are their benefits

10. relaxation:  the cornerstone of kettlebell sport lifting – when, why and how to relax during sets, as well as before and after

11. grip: what is the standard competition grip for each of the core lifts; from the ground, in the rack, extended overhead and as the bell is flying

12. hand health: your calluses tell a story just like Sanskrit on a cave wall; do you know what yours are telling you? Also, how to keep from breaking calluses and how to handle it when you do

13. implements (equipment / tools): we cover it all – shoes, chalk, wrist bands or bandages, t-shirt, weight belt, and clock or timer; you’ll be a walking encyclopedia (for your own benefit and those you train with) of what to use and why for kettlebell sport lifting

14. posture & alignment: what’s the difference between a house built on sand and one built on stone?  Therein lies the essence and importance of proper posture and alignment when lifting; its not hard to do once you know what and how to do it; and yet some trainees stagnate for years because they’re simply uninformed; poor posture, lack of alignment and inability to lever your own body properly will sabotage your goals and results now and for years to come; get informed; you have to be in-the-know on this one; its worth the price of the book alone.

15. consistency:  your 100th rep should look the same as your 1st. Are you there?
