Great information for the lifestyle of today. This is exactly what I was looking for! Mahalo, Doug!
Great to hear!
Utilizing these immediately!
Thanks Dave!, Hope all is well!
Good info. But I'm curious... Shoulders down? Or shoulders back? Always thought it was shoulders back.
Good question! "Back" does retract them; Down, for me, make them more in a neutral posture not too far forward nor too far back.
Does the kb snatch build muscle or is it more like cardio?
Could be used either way based on relative weight and number of reps. "Heavier" with less reps will be more on the muscle building end and longer sets and reps will tend to focus on more "cardio" attributes. Thanks for watching.
every other snatch video says not to have the flat part of the bell pointed upwards 1:56. you'll damage your wrists.
One of the best step wise explanation and technique for learning the snatch
Glad it was helpful!
Phew... Looks tough!!! I like it.
You can do it!
Great workout! Thanks Coach Doug
Glad you liked it!
First comment from the most faithful follower of your channel Great video thanks for the upload hit that like button
Awesome! Thank you!
Smashing it RA!
Thanks Man!
Very well explained. I am glad to have found your channel (subbed) and also like hardstyle KB training.
Awesome, thank you!
Great information as always!
Thanks! Appreciate it.
Good stuff RA! And how'd you know my mom had a China cabinet???
I had a hunch. Thanks for watching
16 ^ 17 range amazing workout
A fan favorite breakdown! Good stuff as always
Appreciate it!
Great instruction as always RiseAbove!
Thanks again!
Meilleure explication
Thanks for your precisions. I ever wondered in what the difference did consist...
Yes ...explanations...that what i meant. Sorry for my english. I 'll keep going on hardstyle
no problem, thanks for watching!
hit my balls now im in a wheelchair thanks
Fast and strong! Good workout
Yes indeed!
Double the pain... Oh I like that!
Thanks, I know you are up for the workout!
Awesome breakdown. Very well explained. I'm new to the kettlebell journey and am still hesitant to do a snatch, mainly because I'm afraid our low ceiling wouldn't be very cooperative. But judging by your video, if I can do a clean and press at home, a properly executed snatch doesn't need any more overhead clearance. Famous last words... 💥
Glad it was helpful!
The ouchie graphic is on brand! Well done. 😊
Gotta Sell it, thanks for watching.
Snatch-master. Got a nice ring to it...
Yes, that can be you...
Tips and tricks! Always informative
Glad you like them!
which one is more Quad focused ? versus Glute focused ?
Both work, however if I had to say, the forward lunge is more "glute focused" as it is utilizing the glutes during deceleration and the reverse lunge would be the opposite.
Thanks a lot man! Isn’t there also a slight difference in how you grip the bell/window in both styles ? I read that with hardstyle you’re not supposed to use the corner grip but rather closed hands in the middle or is that wrong ?
Yes you would be correct, in the Hard Style certification classes we were taught to grab the middle of the handle and go straight over the top in both the assent and decent. In the Sport Style it is much more of a personal preference, the handle windows are typically smaller in width so you don't have a ton of room to play with, but yes, a slightly off-center and rotated handle can allow for that rotational movement of the snatch.
@@RiseAboveGym much appreciated! I come from a barbell/db and calisthenics background and have dabbled with competition bells about 2 years ago, came relatively easy to me actually Then I stopped KBs until just now and I got Dragon Door bells and I do enjoy them but must say, this time the learning curve seems to be more steep and a little different However I feel more drawn to that type of KB training Definitely subscribing here 👊🏻
Excellent instruction, new subscriber.
The girl from Duke in the pink shirt is full of sh!t. They are all afraid of the Lunatic fringe.
I like the kettle bell swing exercise. Thanks doc!
Glad you liked it!
I started laughing at the thumbnail. It looked similar to our favorite person to despise, Adolfo.
First timer. Great job, brother!👊🏼
Thanks 👍
Basically hardstyle is using muscular strength where "softstyle" is using biomechanic to optimize the effort. When running out of energy or reaching our weight limit softstyle becomes a necessity to fulfill the moves. In my opinion softstyle is more suitable and beneficial for real life application, hardstyle is good to pass your nerves. In my experience when I start to go hardstyle it's time to work with a heavier kettlebell, then I do hardstyle to warm up with the light one and go for softstyle with the heavier one.
Great stuff Doug. I ordered a 1/4 and 1/2 First Place Superbands for Michigan from Perform Better. No excuse to not be doing this.
Great video, Doug! Can you suggest something for the lower back? Been sitting a lot and it gets sore.
Thanks for watching. I have this older video for some low back stretches: czcams.com/video/4UmGM6jpZHc/video.html
Good stuff as always RA!
Much appreciated
Great information as always!
Glad it was helpful!
Nothing is "hardstyle" about a kettlebell you never hike.
Lol😂
Thanks Doug! I personally enjoy the sport related exercises.
Me too! Thanks for the feedback.
Digging it! Caveman style workout. I'm down!
Nice, let me know how it goes!
Nice!
Thanks!
Good stuff RA! Stay hard.
You too! Thanks for Watching
Nice quick workout!
Thanks!
Where you guys located?

Good stuff. I personally like cleans with rubber weights. No press, just cleans and 1 gets to drop the weight after each rep. Problem is it kind of marks up the mat. Going to hit some some tomorrow. Thanks again Rise Above!
Totally agree! Cleans are one of the best for strength and muscle building. Thanks for watching!
Great video. I've just ordered a 32kg competition kettlebell and think I'll switch reps between hard and competition for the best of both worlds 🙂
Great Job, yes it is beneficial to do both!
@@RiseAboveGym thanks for your reply. First session complete and oh man, the 32kg is a monster!
@@barrylarryharry7183I’ve got a 32kg myself and I can confirm. It’s a monster lol
How much you weigh? And how many months before you transition from 24kg snatch to 32kg snatch. I can snatch 24kg 15-20 reps max, am I good for 32kg?@@barrylarryharry7183
Can 14-16 year old do heavy squats of 1-5 rep range with weights for strength gains ?
Good Question, depends. For that age range you probably do not need to lift in the low rep range with "maximum" weights. If an athlete has all the technical prerequisites you can lower reps and add weight. I usually keep all weights "submaximal" for that rep range, so if we are doing 3reps I usually try and get a weight they can do 5-6 times with good form. Form first, as this will be a good foundation so they can lift heavier when they progress and get older. Hope this helps
thanks @@RiseAboveGym
Nice video, I like the intro and the sound was great!
Glad to hear it!
I smash my wrist when i try to do this, i cant figure out how to do it proper
Thanks for your comment, I will get a video out on how to not smash your wrist soon. Thanks
Punch through a kettlebell a bit harder on its way up. You too slow.
Half executions for each exercises 😮
