5 KB Foundations to Make the Most of Your Kettlebell

[@voltahill2722]

Probably the best kettlebell beginner video on KZbin. Thanks Marcus.

[@marcusfilly]

Glad you liked it!

[@Falk54]

A good tip I received from a kettelbell instructor and helped with the matter of the bell crushing into my forearm immediately was "punching" into the kettlebell handle actively while it comes to the upper position while cleaning it. This way your hand and the kettlebell reach the highest point at almost the same speed and the catching goes very smooth. Worked from the first repetition with most people in the course.

[@Ba1aamsdonkey]

This makes a lot of sense. You’re essentially not letting the weight of the bell leave on your arm. You’re instead meeting it.

[@BrocktonBombs]

That’s a good cue, even more so with the KB snatch. But the key to avoiding the forearm bang is to keep the bell moving vertically, Close to the body, aka “taming the arc”. Punch with an arc an you’ll still get banged.

[@dennisyang7163]

I have watched numerous videos on KB snatches. None, I mean none, of them cleared out questions like you did. I could just do snatches without banging the KB against my forearm for the first time. Incredible, Marcus

[@marcusfilly]

SOOOOOO happy to hear! Congrats!

[@petarpetrovic-ix3sb]

I watched so many videos about how to use a kettlebell and this one is the best of them. Really one the best tutorial about basic kettlebell movements.👌

[@ajiboyeara4855]

I'm glad this was suggested by YT, I have a bad knee and it hurts when I try to do the swing. Now I'll do the front and back movement rather than up and down that hurts my knee. Thank you

[@marcusfilly]

I'm glad you got value from this!

[@evildeed2713]

The most detailed explanation I've ever seen, thank you

[@rickyc123]

I have been doing research on kettlebell training and your videos have convinced me to give it a try. Your detailed explanations are fantastic. Thank you!

[@marcusfilly]

Best of luck!

[@thevaluenairecouple5150]

First time I’ve seen a great kettlebell video for optimum execution. I tried it and I can feel the difference now.

[@marcusfilly]

Great to hear!

[@TheCpowderly]

You’re a fantastic teacher buddy. Thank you for sharing your gift.

[@joshuaseim1665]

i have been training for nearly 25 years, and this tutorial is far superior to any of the kb videos that i’ve watched in the past.

[@marcusfilly]

thanks for sharing this!

[@samirsharma6312]

Anybody, everybody who wants to have anything to do with a kettlebell, must see this. Great work Marcus.

[@marcusfilly]

agreed! send it to everyone!

[@samirsharma6312]

[@maxp5568]

I'm a beginner and didn't know I needed this video. Glad I found it 😅

[@marcusfilly]

Glad it was helpful!

[@debashistalukdar5523]

Thank you for explaining the technique so meticulously. I'm having tough time landing the kettlebell and have left my forearms sore. I'm gonna work on the technique. Thank you.

[@bambolina351]

Very helpful points throughout. Wish to have known earlier. Thanks. Give us more.

[@HispanicJesus23]

This is such valuable knowledge!!! Everyone getting kettlebells during lockdown need this video!!! Thank you Marcus!

[@marcusfilly]

Thanks for saying that! I hope it helps a lot of people

[@kettlebellken]

Great instructional video. I didn't begin to discover & implement kettlebells until age 50 (8 years ago) and NO regrets... they have transformed my fitness & flexibility

[@marcusfilly]

Glad it was helpful!

[@AndersLyngeDamsgaard]

Your rack explanation fixed some pressing issues I've had for years. Thank you!

[@marcusfilly]

Excellent. That’s what I love to hear

[@70svd]

I have never thought of the mechanic of lifting KB. These tips are great will try tomorrow. Thanks mate

[@marcusfilly]

No problem 👍

This is literally the kettlebell fundamentals goldmine that I've been looking for for a while now. Thanks so much for the patient and methodical breakdown for us that are new to this stuff. Cheers mate!!!🍻

[@BobtheMoneythedbr]

Your passion is palpable.

[@deliacarter1800]

Thank you for breaking down these fundamental movements. I have some corrective practice ahead. Presently nursing an inflamed shoulder and greatly appreciate your time in pointing out the finer points of these movements.

[@marcusfilly]

I hope it helps you and good luck with your shoulder.

[@malcolmarchibald6356]

I am living in Taiwan and we just went into a 'lockdown' for 20 days~ I am sure it will be extended to the end of the semester. We can go buy stuff etc, but I am now teaching from home. I will be working on your advice throughout the day. Thank you.

[@OpticBen89]

Thank you. Im about a year into casual kb training. All im concerned with is form, you answered several questions and will be applying these tips.

[@marcusfilly]

Glad it was helpful!

[@texaspete7748]

This is so helpful. You’ve got a great way of explaining things and it’s packed with information!

[@donharrold1375]

Excellent. Guy is clearly a kettlebell master.

[@sejk-ko]

Never seen this explained so clearly and properly. Super useful! Thank you so much!

[@marcusfilly]

Great to hear!

[@coyotetacticalsolutions]

Been doing kettlebells for two weeks now. This came in very handy, as I was basically making every mistake you listed.

[@Randy_Batswinger]

That's got to be one of the best tuition videos I've ever watched. Thank you. 👏👏

[@marcusfilly]

[@SamuelJordanFitness]

Great work Marcus! Clear explanations and great instructions. You've really helped me with my technique buddy. Thanks!🙏😊💪

[@eik1059]

[@marcusfilly]

Thanks Adrian. This is helpful feedback. More to come

[@nonyabiznas4986]

super great video, i love turkish get ups and kb swings but had actually given up on a getting down the kb clean do to bruising. after a few minutes of the section on racking i grabbed my bell and pulled it off no problem. thank you very much for making this video available.

[@dandshin]

Great video Marcus! You broke it down for me. I appreciate the time you put into the instructions.

[@gladyscortez8878]

Best educated KB video..im new with KB and this was so helpful, thank you so much !!

[@gianbattistabottini5670]

Thank you very much for this excellent video. Best ever tutorial on kettlebell. You are a great teacher. 👍

[@adrianqx]

Haven't been doing the rack because of the slams to the body, thanks finally got it right

[@marcusfilly]

nice work!

[@SmartPhotoVault]

Very well explained. I used to bash my arms sometimes. But now with competition bells and a good hinge, the weightless point comes into effect. No more bashing it flows

[@marcusfilly]

NO BASHING!

[@garry19681]

Thank you Marcus, this is some really good instruction and makes me more confident to use my kettlebells

[@marcusfilly]

Great to hear!

[@CAHOP2401]

This video was so informative. I’m starting to do more kettle bell and calisthenics exercises and I now know I’ve been doing a lot of these movements wrong and just been muscling through them

[@marcusfilly]

I'm happy you found it helpful! Go lighter and master your technique - it will pay off huge dividends.

[@theaustynbrown]

This is phenomenal; quality information is delivered in a digestible and applicable way. Thank you for sharing!

[@junaidmasood7572]

One of the best videos for KB technique, very well explained, thanks a lot 👍👌

[@marcusfilly]

You're very welcome!

[@angelasosa3322]

Thanks, this is good! I work with an awesome trainer (now virtually) a couple of times a week and I practice on my own. Your explanation of the mechanics and moves both confirms and enhances what I am learning in training. Sometimes it helps to hear things in different words! Then repetition, practice and time helps the form sink in with me. You articulate the relationship between the hip hinge and creating weightlessness motion wonderfully.

[@marcusfilly]

Glad to help! Thanks for the feedback

This is a great video and great tips for kettlebell training. Thank you so much. I really enjoy kettlebell exercises more than other workout moves. Please, do workout videos using kettlebells. I will forever tune in!! Thank you! ❤

[@marcusfilly]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@keeontabrizi]

Thx for the wisdom Marcus. Logical foundational sequence. During the 1st skill (hinge) demo one thing I noticed in the past for myself is needing to bring awareness to my neck/spine alignment through the hinge. I think it's really easy to have a bit of a rocking neck or one that doesn’t stay aligned to the spine through the movement. Your demo showed that component really cleanly just wanted to share I found focusing on it necessary as it would deviate from alignment initially. < ☕️ 3

[@marcusfilly]

That’s a great point that I didn’t bring up. Neutral neck is definitely something to be mindful of.

[@TheMors1975]

Great video Sir thanks for the great explanation. Blessings 💯😎
