Swings, snatches, squats, and presses. Also, exercises that deal with the rotation of the hips. CZcams has plenty of videos on them. Explore and find out what works for you.
Most would consider me an expert, so here’s my take: if you were lowering straight from the top, DANGER! Otherwise, the racked reset allows for less velocity of the bells to pull and create injury. Hope that helps.
This is a half-snatch. You are correct. All the Russians who lift know this. Got certified with RKC in 2003. Trained with Pavel in 2002. Hardstyle has nothing to do with it. It is the way the old school Russians did the Comp Snatch back in the ‘70s. The Double Snatch is with two KBs.
@@AlexKaruAlso, I don't know if you're familiar with the Secret Service Snatch Test -- which is a classic 'Hardstyle' 'challenge' -- and check out the form for that 'snatch'... Maybe admit you are/were wrong about this one...
@@shantanusapru this wasn’t meant to insult you. I teach coaches kettlebell certifications every year. And how we teach it, this is considered a full snatch in level two. But you could call whatever you want.
@@shantanusapru and you can do both sport and Hardstyle, but they have very different goals and the way I teach, I use the Hardstyle method, for maximum power. Sports style is not that.
@@AlexKaru There's a BIG difference between releasing air/contraction/tension to prevent injury versus over-the-top self marketing grunts, whooshes, hisses, and other ninja-wannabe sounds that signal you want everyone to know you're the pro and demanding their attention. Behave like you've been there before.
@@jgneolardo8875 you obviously aren’t familiar with hardstyle. You don’t have to trust me, but if you want to improve your kettlebell skills, you’ll understand if you take a cert through StrongFirst. Believe me, this isn’t marketing man, why would these noises ever sell?
@@jgneolardo8875 Most would consider me a pro, I have 2 kettlebell certifications, a barbell cert, a bodyweight cert, and work as a full-time fitness professional (also a beast tamer, and sinister prospect). If you become more familiar with the hardstyle, you will understand that it is about maximal tension at the moment of the ballistic. The "tsss" you hear will create a contraction with that quick "power" breath. You may not like the style for whatever reason, but if you ever take a StrongFirst or any other reputable hardstyle kettlebell cert, you will fail if you don't produce the breath, and as mentioned in my previous comment, it's dangerous swinging/snatching bells this heavy without that breath in this style. I mean no disrespect to you, just trying to spread some education for future onlookers (whether what I wrote here is valuable or not).
I'll try to reply again, even though you've deleted every comment I've posted. If it helps, most people would consider me a pro/expert as I have 2 KB Certs through StrongFirst, a barbell cert, and a bodyweight cert, along with having a full-time personal training business. To the point: You breath out at the moment of contraction. Hardstyle requires maximal tension with the movement, and it allows you to move really heavy weights, putting your body at high risk if you don't create proper tension at the right times. Hence the reasoning for the breath. Notice at the moment of the hinge, when the bells are leaving my body, you will see a "power" breath or quick outward breath sounding like "TSSSS". You don't have to perform the breaths if you don't like them for whatever reason, but with most of the kettlebells you see me moving, they are too heavy, and getting in the habit of breathing at the hip extension is just a safer practice. Hope this helps educate others if it doesn't help you.
@AlexKaru I literally did not read this comment after you falsely accusing me of deleting comments that I literally don't have the technological capability to do. You, however, do have the ability to edit/delete your own comments, which I wouldn't put passed you.
That will get the heart pumping
For sure! It’s a tough one, but feels great with power!
What a big kettlebell you got ❤
What's the best kb exercise to increase punching and kicking power ?
Heavy kettlebell swing will help increase power and timing for both

Amazing Alex 💪! I am not even able to work with one single 24kg😅
You’ll get there, when I started, I was so far away from this! Stick with it!!
Most experts seem to agree that doing a normal (full?) snatch with doubles is an injury waiting to happen.

Isn't that a 1/2 snatch if you're returning to front rack clean position after snatch instead of trsight back down to hike pass?
This is hardstyle not sport style. We in the hardstyle community consider this a double snatch. (Half or full isn’t relevant)

Sounds like a fart at the end though
So, 3 HALF-snatches...?!
These are Hardstyle snatches, so they’re full. If you’re doing sports style, this complex isn’t for you.
@@AlexKaru Why not? People who do sports style can't/shouldn't do hardstyle 'snatches' or such complexes?

Love these exercises but y'all really need to relax with the sound effects. Cringe as hell and makes me not want to purchase your products.
