They are not athletes, they are "masters of sport" ! 💪

[@IKFFChannel]

This was my favorite one of your videos so far Gregory. Really great job

[@lebe-stark]

It's always an honor reading you in the comments, Sensei! 💙 - Gregory

[@metabolicconditioning]

Enjoyed this breakdown, so much wisdom to learn from the masters of this craft.

[@lebe-stark]

100%! - Gregory

[@mmoloni3221]

Mind blown, wow, thank you, will start to look up this guy, beast mode💪

[@lebe-stark]

Denis is definitely a Must-Follow! - Gregory

[@Cordejesu]

Toller Beitrag Gregory. Ich habe mir schon viele Videos von ihm angesehen. Absolut perfekte Technik und ein mega starker Typ. Ich folge ihm schon eine ganze Weile auf Instagram.

[@lebe-stark]

Denis ist ein Chirurg mit seiner Technik. - Gregory

[@eamonob84]

I tried one of his workouts one day after watching a video like that of him explaining and showing it. He was doing 1 min on 1 min off for 10 rounds and I think he was at 12 reps a minute or something like that. Of course, he used 32s. I used 16s and was around 10 reps a minute I believe. Felt like dying after. He did faster reps with twice the weight. Master of sport for sure.

[@meisdetermined]

Thank you for commentary like this which helps us newbies identify what we should be doing.

[@toomuch9762]

He has it down to such precision that each phase looks so comfortable that he could probably take a nap while either in the rack position or overhead

[@lebe-stark]

100%! - Gregory

[@nickrodriguez9867]

Its so smooth/fluid, and doing that with 2 32kg is so crazy to me.

[@Ozombie666]

I´ve been watching Denis´s videos, he is really awesome.

[@lebe-stark]

Denis is the king of technique! - Gregory

[@normanquednau]

I am amazed by the lock position of this man. He has so good shoulder mobility

[@kauerpc]

Great video, when I saw the preview was kind of pissed for having to wait hahaha. He is really a master. Thanks, cheers!

[@lebe-stark]

You're welcome Kauer! Quick question: You're into physics right? - Gregory

[@kauerpc]

@@lebe-stark well, I was, once upon a time haha. I'm a Mechanical Engineer.

[@lebe-stark]

@@kauerpc Thanks for the reply. I'd love to somehow calculate the physical aspects of kettlebell training (velocity, weight, etc.) in the three ballistic exercises. Swing, Cleans & Snatches. Is there a formula you can use to calculate weight, velocity etc.? - Gregory

[@kauerpc]

@@lebe-stark maybe there are some rule of thumb formula, I have to believe someone already did this. Anyway, I think a good and easy approach is the work equation, W = Force (ktb weight x acceleration) x Displacement. This will give energy spent, and keep in mind not even Denis is 100% efficient. You have thousands of hours of video (data), you know your height (ktb displacement in each movement), you can estimate force (or use those data acquisition devices that measure acceleration and some more parameters). I have seen this type of device used for barbell movements, no reason that they wouldnt work for ktbs also. I indeed think it is a very nice thing to investigate. I'm fully busy with work, but now curious also, if I have some time I will investigate more. Cheers!

[@kauerpc]

@@lebe-stark yeah, more people were curious about that. Google "kettlebell swing physics" and "kettlebell biomechanics", there are plenty of results, one nice post in StrongFirst forum and other references, all relatively simple to follow. Normally they are calculated for hardstyle and swing, but all applicable to ktb sport and snatch and C&J with the proper and simple adjustments. If needed, let me know, maybe I can help with the understanding. Cheers!

[@RuntheBell]

i got a little extra out of the video from Dennis because of you. Thanks!

[@lebe-stark]

You're welcome Ben! - Gregory

[@hangonsnoop]

Denis provides superb education on his KZbin channel and his website. His English is serviceable once you get used to his accent.

[@lebe-stark]

The accent requires a more focused listening; yes. A good exercise for folks who can't go a second without talking like me. :) - Gregory

[@colecollums1134]

There are many excercises in the first round that I stop short of finishing, but in later rounds I can complete. Showing that warm ups are very valuable for settling into good form.

[@lebe-stark]

Great input Cole! - Gregory

[@arijitsinha6485]

I have followed your videos @gregory..i hv seen angie do with thumb forward like this russian champion. Is there any advantage doinglike that while cleaning or snatching?

[@laurentrenaud1230]

Getting shirt wet is for arms don't slip and keep arms more connected to torso. Denis is just a legend 🙏

[@aubreygmcghee]

I'm curious how much strength development you get from doing longcycle and BK sport vs hard style? I've only done hard style but I am intrigued by longcycle and KB sport. I am turning 50 and my body doesn't recover as quickly anymore and I need to maintain my cardio fitness more. Also how would you describe the cardio aspect of longcycle or KB sport? Is it a steady state cardio or much heavier like a hit style cardio? I would like to consider trying it out but I don't want to lose the strength benefit of hard style.

[@lebe-stark]

You can always mix it up Travis. I would argue that your speed strength and strength endurance will increase when mixing in some high volume techniques! - Gregory

[@mattcoe100]

Look at Johnny Benidze. Ivan Denisov speaks English and is a super nice guy.

[@lebe-stark]

Will check it out Matt! Thank you! - Gregory

[@SeCr33]

9:17 I think he sprayed water on his T-shirt to become more grippy

[@th3Speci4li5t]

It’s fluid chalk

[@Pilot964]

Thank you for these videos! I noticed that his grip when lowering the KB between his legs has his thumb facing forward. Is this better than thumb facing back? Does it make the clean easier? Thanks again!

[@lebe-stark]

It's a matter of preference, muscle activation and relaxation. Try what suits you best! - Gregory

[@samtriantafillopoulos8986]

Gruezi Gregory, ive noticed you and a lot of competitive kettlebell athletes tend to lean back in the hips, especially when cleaning or jerking, could you explain the difference between conventional and competition kettlebell technique? pros and cons of either?

[@lebe-stark]

I've answered your question in detail in our recent podcast: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5aydZ-igrZ_otE. Check the 1:52:52 mark. - Gregory

[@samtriantafillopoulos8986]

Thank you, much love from Australia!

[@carlosh448]

Is it ok clapping dbl kettlebell every rep on the clean position?

[@lebe-stark]

This is not ok, this is a MUST! LOL

[@tenzin682]

WOW!! Do I feel like a wimp!! I'm only using a 35 lb. kettlebell!! And I weigh 265lbs.!! What should I do?!?

[@lebe-stark]

It depends on what your goal is. If you don’t want to compete, you don’t have to moves these kinds of weights anyway. 💪

[@teodormajewski3566]

Sell all your posesions (except two 32 kg Kettlebells, if you don't have, buy them), give it to the poor and farmer walk to Russia.

[@Snuggle1977]

He is awesome…. I am more a Ivan Desinov type athlete…. I feel more comfortable with his style.

[@lebe-stark]

My mentor told me that it's good to gravitate towards style/ form of people who look similar to you. Thanks for sharing! - Gregory

[@arikleonidov4934]

His last name is Vasiliev, not Vasilev

[@lebe-stark]

I think you got that wrong mate. ;) - Gregory

[@arikleonidov4934]

@@lebe-stark I am a native Russian speaker :) Васильев is pronounced as Vasil'yev.

[@lebe-stark]

@@arikleonidov4934 On IG and his website, he put his last name as "Vasilev"; yet thanks for the insights! - Gregory

[@arikleonidov4934]

@@lebe-stark He must have done that to ease the pronunciation for Americans.

[@faisalalmutairii]

i found about denis when i was searching for kettlebell books. him or pavel for kettlebell information? thx

[@lebe-stark]

Both. Don't exclude yourself from information from all spectrums.
