BALLISTIC STRENGTH RADIO_EP. 26: PROGRESSIONS | KETTLEBELL SPORT

Ballistic Strength Radio - Kettlebell Sport Podcast

In this episode Charlie and I breakdown how we look at developing the traditional lifts outside of just performing the lifts themselves.

Can you improve your snatch by just performing the snatch? The short answer is yes. But can you maximize your potential? Not likely.

3:07 - Can you improve the snatch by just performing snatches?

4:07 - Putting in quality reps

5:10 - Knowing what good technique is, training without a coach, identify your own mistakes

8:59 - Fix your swing, fix your snatch, never bang your wrist again

11:30 - Compensatory, dysfunctional biomechanics

12:44 - Using wrist guards to get past growing pains

14:23 - The kettlebell rack "crunch", fundamental principle or style nuance?

20:32 - Know when to keep or drop a technique or drill

23:00 - Is there stylized breathing for kettlebell sport, and when do you teach that?

25:15 - The importance of breath

26:40 - The prevalence of flawed breathing

27:15 - Breath and balance are connected

29:45 - High pull progression for snatch development

31:40 - Choose the heavy bell: using natural feedback when teaching

33:40 - Snatching will improve your snatch before increasing arm strength, grip strength or endurance

35:35 - A swing is not a swing; narrow the focus of why and how you swing to improve your snatch; Rudnev insertion progression

37:09 - Re-engineering your snatch style; specificity of your drills; the Denisov rocking swing

41:35 - How I added 40 reps to my 24kg snatch

42:30 - Technique vs. Grip Strength for improving snatch numbers (see study below)
