Synopsis

What do you do when the “proper” way to Swing, Clean, or Snatch a kettlebell hurts you?

Kettlebell dogma can do more harm than good. In “Kettlebell Ballistics: The Essentials, A practical guide to mathless, meathead physics,” you’ll learn when conventional wisdom holds, and when it fails. More importantly, you’ll learn how, when, and why to change your training to match your goals.

More than a manual of tips and tricks, this book will change the way you think about kettlebells. By digging deeper into motion and learning the rules that govern the universe around you, you’ll enhance your training and be able to avoid common kettlebell errors:

  • Are you doing too many reps?
  • Are you moving too fast?
  • Are you lifting too heavy?
  • Are you going too deep in your backswing?
No longer will you need to rely on well-meaning yet uninformed coaches or make form decisions based on the advice of that one guy on the internet. Understanding the physics of kettlebell training will empower you to make informed decisions that are right for your body.

Prevent injury. Move bells better. Program with confidence.

From the book: “For many, standard form is a mix of myth and tradition. Mandates are dispensed by rote and seldom backed by any reason other than someone said so long, long ago. Sometimes, some anatomical concern becomes the basis for the rules, and to protect us from ourselves, we are prohibited from moving this or bending that. Unfortunately, this best-practices approach leaves us helpless when scenarios don't conform to our preconceptions.
Because anatomy varies by person and disciples mismanage facts, I suggest that physics become the bedrock of your practice. Principles are foundational truths that shouldn't change. With the universe as your guide, you'll follow rules that won't change. Given the unique circumstances before you (body type, injury history, training goals, experience…) and possessed of principles in the truest sense, you can decide for yourself what type of motion is best...”
