    As a Highland Games athlete (at least I keep telling myself I am an athlete), most of our throws are rotational. These exercises are great for developing rotational power.

    I see most of the folks saying this is not good and dangerous.....any workout is not good if not done with proper form and if you don't like something ignore it rather than giving your useless advice for what to do and what not to do. But if you know your limits and works to raise your standards then any exercise can be done and any limit can be achieved. Peace out!!

    • @zubuk000

  • @AlteredState1123
    @AlteredState1123 Před 3 lety +16

    Thanks for making this. I wonder how you feel about this work now four years later. Mark Wildman incorporates a lot of rotational work in his KB routine; however, you have a lot more acceleration and bounce in this video. I feel a lot traditional strength training avoids rotation, and rotation is fundamental to most sports. It is how we truly generate power.

    • @gregshock
      @gregshock Před 3 lety +2

      I’ve been watching a bit of Pat MacNamara (PatMac) on YT. He says working in the “transverse plane,” as he calls it, is very important to conditioning and strength. This guy takes it to a pretty high level, in my opinion.

    • @AlteredState1123
      @AlteredState1123 Před 3 lety

      No expert here, but whenever I came out of the off-season the part of my body that was never sufficiently conditioned was my obliques. Used a lot in sports, not so much ch in the traditional weight room.

  • @crawdadyyt

  • @theofit
    @theofit Před 6 lety +33

    Suddenly everyone on CZcams is a doctor/physical therapist and knows best. Obviously these are very advanced exercises and should NOT be performed by anyone unless you are confident in your core strength and stability and have an understanding of the human body and how it works. If you feel like you can't handle these exercises, then just skip this video and move on to the next one. No reason to shoot it down and say it "will injure you". Not true. The human body is an amazing machine and can be manipulated into many different positions if done so properly with proper training. Like when people say the golf swing is horrible for your back. Well, yes, most amateur golfers have no idea how to properly swing a golf club, and lack the motor skills and core strength to do so properly.. hence why their back hurts. Doesn't make the golf swing bad for you. Anything can be bad for you with improper mechanics.

    • @ottonovak5609
      @ottonovak5609 Před 4 lety

      @theo g That’s very well said I feel like this could move the golf swing to another level if done properly but as you said right now Iam amateur in golf (1year) and struggling with lower back pain, do you think that strengthening my core would help? Iam exercising since I was 9 (ice hockey) so I don’t think Iam weak but obviously I lack something

      People now live with a greater reach to information thanks to the internet age, they will want to investigate first what is better for them in terms of health and time, then a group will search to the fitness gurus and they will observe that if they do risky movements supporting them only with their own experience the next obvious step is to question that, another group will not even question them because they will be attracted only by flashy titles and generally claiming exaggerated benefits, this small group only investigated in terms of time, not health

  • @Perseus185
    @Perseus185 Před 6 lety +1

    What do you recommend for the amount of reps for these exercises? Number of sets also? Most explosive exercises call for sets of 4-5 with fairly low rep ranges of 6-8. However, these exercises look like they need higher reps to stimulate a response. What do you recommend?

    • @Vahvafitness
      @Vahvafitness  Před 6 lety +2

      I recommend higher reps indeed from 8 to 20 similar to kettlebell swings. For 3-5+ sets. Stop once the repetitions lose their explosiveness.

  • @tonya1425

    A soviet style gym???? Soviet style KB workout too?? Amazing. For those asking about how dangerous this can be for your spine, the гиревики body will be prepared by a gradual progressive kettlebell swings and Turkish get ups. Then you'll be really for these kinds of moves. "Unfortunately" with kettlebells, many of the excercises are about: how heavy and how well. Many KB moves don't work if there isn't sufficient weight. Especially these. But light is subjective. Amazing video man.

      VAHVA Fitness I'll be using some tweaks and techniques I've seen here in my own training regularly.
      I'll get a video added to my channel using them when I've nailed the technique!

    Thanks for this, great exercises! How many reps, typically - or do you just go to failure?

      Hi Christopher, all advice should be here: bit.ly/explosiveswings , you can do from 4 to 16 repetitions as long as the reps keep their power. Failure should be avoided in power training.

      @@Vahvafitness I was considering picking up your Athlete20XX and Movement20XX over Black Friday, however I didn't see any weight training aspects of the programs. I love your KB workouts and home gym (weighted vest, pullup bar, etc.) training videos - they are very helpful to someone like myself, who doesn't have much time, space, or a gym close by. Would you ever consider releasing a functional/power training workout series, which would mix a hybrid of KB's and weights for both strength and aesthetics (maximum results in minimum time would be ideal)? Anyway, loving your stuff so far!

    Horizontal swing and side swings are the only ones I would stay away from. The others are good for developing punching power

    looks very intersting especially for fight sports but i think before to do this you need good core and strong schoulder. i will try this soon

      A strong foundation and a mobile spine are important - many of these are not for beginners!
