Really interesting session with Strength Coach and good friend Tim Shuman, RKCII yesterday – turns out, due to extra strength and consequentally a slight change of shape with my lats, I need to adjust my position and work on my flexibility when doing double kettlebell work in the rack position. Not entirely surprised about this as things had been feeling ever so slightly odd lately – so ok, more stretching is in order to offset my odd pull up obsession (Further fueled by the looming prospect of the Dragon Door Iron Maiden Challenge and Pavel’s Fighter Pull Up Program) – not a problem. It’s just another great excuse to break out with the TRX flexibility/mobility exercises – which can be a lot of fun too.
Note from Tim: the workout is an excerpt from Kettlebell Muscle by “Captain Complex” Geoff Neupert Master RKC.
Here’s the double kettlebell combo that we did (after a joint mobility warmup and warmup swings) – all the while making form corrections and observations (don’t speed through it…)
- 5 Double Kettlebell Cleans
- 5 Double Kettlebell Presses
- 5 Double Kettlebell Front Squats
- 5 Double Kettlebell Push Presses
- 5 Double Kettlebell Front Squats
Repeat this combo 5 times.
Remember…. if it’s worth doing.. its worth doing CORRECTLY!
