I do lunges all the time, but have never combined back and forward. I'll definitely be giving this a try!

[@ricktkathletics4786]

Yeah i think it adds a new component to a basic lunge. Progress! 👊

[@tombiggs4687]

I took up kettlebells because I'm an old man in his 60s who is trying to avoid becoming feeble. I'm not planning on punching anyone, but these exercises look useful. Thanks.

[@3runjosh]

love how you place it down in a triangle again avoiding potential injury. Great breathing and form, so trustworthy to watch haha

[@ricktkathletics4786]

Thanks Josh. Great comment. Much appreciated

[@terrancekayton007]

Cool. Thanks for the exercises

Heavy snatches imitates the punch the best..unilateral hinge move plus lockdown on your shoulder and fist..overall tecnique of a heavy snatch has the best transfer into a punch in my experience..

[@ricktkathletics4786]

Awesome. I should post a video!!

[@mojo6112]

But a snatch is overhead!

[@ricktkathletics4786]

The snatch finishes over head... 😉

[@mojo6112]

@@ricktkathletics4786 yeah but it's notjing like a punch! Arms are wide, it's a swing rather than a straigth shoulder extension

[@ricktkathletics4786]

I appreciate your comments and always ready to educate. So the snatch is a swing-pull and punch... the kettlebell needs to be pulled in to a position that is closer to the body and then the handlle needs to be "punched" 180 degress. The harder and faster that "punch" is, the cleaner it lands in the overhead position.. I'm available for video help if you need... your welcome. Keep getting stronger 💪

[@TDR85]

Great form and great video. I'd also recommend double kb cleans. Brutal strength builders.

[@ricktkathletics4786]

Oh yeah T. Definitely. A couple jerks in there too👊

Why do you exhale so Intensely, are you supposed to shoot out your breathe like that?
What is the purpose of breathing that way?
I don't know.
Thanks.

[@ricktkathletics4786]

Hey Frank. So the purpose in that breath is to increase bracing tension. (Torso stiffness) Its like firing a Canon from a soft surface, better it be a stable surface.. for increased power.

[@Kurio71]

Power comes from the core. Big arms look good though

[@ricktkathletics4786]

Cant argue with that👊

[@Kurio71]

@@ricktkathletics4786 fast arms, strong core (power for the ground) is key

[@ricktkathletics4786]

I had big arms years ago... they were also slow at the time.

[@Kurio71]

@@ricktkathletics4786 yeah, spend time on core and lower body, best bang for buck

punching movement is very different from kb swings

[@ricktkathletics4786]

Good observation, but the swing creates power. Change my mind, I'll wait

I don't have a kettlebekk but I have a 15 pound dumbekk can I do the exercises with that

Yeah sure you can. For the swing, grab the end of the dumbell with both hands.
