@keithmooore hey Keith thanks for the input you're right but this after 80 Snatches with 70lbs beforehand so was a little fatigued

@@davidwagner9644 Rogue indeed has good grip

kettlebells for curls; sounds more like your gym is the sofa and bucket of KFC

@lourende7250 very true ... this was after about 80 Snatches so was a bit fatigued

@davidwagner9644 it offers alot 7 or 8 exercises ... not cheap but excellent quality

The purpose of the machine is to gradually get stronger and gradually lower the angle until the bench is parallel to the floor. The machine is so you don't need to use bands.

@@davidwagner9644I suppose I’m not referring to Ken, but someone with extremely weak hamstrings, or someone who still can’t control themselves going down at the highest level would benefit from bands as well.

@@allstrongfitness The nordic benches which angle like the one in the video are made so beginners to the nordic curl can safely practice the nordic curl without injury and grain strength as the range of motion is drastically reduced. As one gets stronger, one lowers the angle of the bench, increasing the range of motion and the difficulty.

@@davidwagner9644again, I understand that’s the purpose of it, but perhaps you’ve never seen or known someone who, even with a very regressed version of an exercise, still can’t do the exercise. If somebody got on the machine at the easiest setting and couldn’t do it, would you tell them “guess you’ll never be able to do a Nordic” The bands would make it even more accessible is my point. Again, not saying Ken would need it, but it would be interesting to see, say an 80 year old try it with the extra assistance and regressed angle

@@allstrongfitness if they cannot use the bench, they probably shouldn't be doing it with bands either. It is an advanced bodyweight exercise reserved for advanced people. Also, just doing the eccentric portion is often better to start with for every one as you are roughly 1/3 stronger in the eccentric portion. The reason I do not like bands is people cheat with them. They use the elasticity of the band to propell them. You see it all the time with banded pullups at the bottom they don't come to a full stop so they really aren't gaining strength necessary to do a pullup.

@johnnygrube thanks Johnny ... still gotta get my heavy Ruck in this month

@boggycreekbeast hanging in there ... its more mental fortitude lately

@gw3325 Coming Soon ... Will Share the Inspiration!

@silverbackgorilla2112 Thanks for kind words.. yeah The Kettlebell & Functional Fitness is a small but Wise Training Regiment (especially as we age)

@@kettlebellken Amen! I love Barbell and Trap Bar Deadlifts, but my Kettlebells get most of the attention for everything else. Stay Strong!!

@aviator4763 only use heavy kbs every 2 months this is a max rep set. Been using kbs since age 50 for 11 years. Please review my other 404 videos to better assess my fitness level

You can say my form is not perfect... but Kettlebells are used in a ballistic format and when you consider how physics affect a tall & thin frame like myself 180lbs & almost 6'5" I need to harness the requisite power & momentum from the hip drive yet maintain my balance it's a fine line... anyways you'll find everyone has slightly different techniques.

@sarahsnowden2009 Salute! Well Done 73 impressive

@DeanHenry-hm9bd I only go Heavy twice per month, I would say this was moderate weight but done in a fatigued state. So overall 4-5 times per month with 1 time on the slant Board. Also do light barbell squats once per month just for movement continuity

@kramkalisthenics you're absolutely right.... deeper ROM will aid in more power and better health in general. The Body just functions better with increased flexibility

@kramkalisthenics you should checkout @MisterPieriniFitness he's 69/70 and still performing at a high level strength & flexibility

@@johnnygrube definitely felt it... I'm doing a heavy ruck/carry next week

@kramkalisthenics thanks Kram based on what I've seen you could do it especially if you are 160lbs. Your grip should be rested for 2 days for best results. I do chinups occasionally not big sets usually 4-6 reps supersetted with a pushing exercise

@MisterPieriniFitness I'm finding that if I did alot of KBs or clubs within 2 or 3 days my grip is more challenged. Grip rest essential for good time

@@johnnygrube thanks Johnny

@@boggycreekbeast hopefully soon again definitely a max effort

@ericsiel1480 thanks... a little bit of everything. 1 day at a time ... started my fitness journey in 1986

@boggycreekbeast Thanks. Burning the Rust off the cylinders ... felt good but it's definitely a fine line now between making progress & Overall Fitness

And I think you could get 50 or 53lb on those Kettlebell Turns!

@@kettlebellken I don't know bro. I will say this, there's a reason I refer to you as the "Blueprint" I need to get serious

@LevDarratOliveInducedPhsycosi Respect! I've seen your training methods very impressive ... I am 61+ so my application somewhat different but I try incorporate my different disciplines to extend strength & mobility. As you know Managing Leverage is key
