📣KB PRO TIP: YOUR RACK SETUP📣
Here's a quick checklist for your Rack setting.
👉🏾 armpit packed (long head tricep and Lat muscle hugging)
👉🏾 a vertical forearm
👉🏾tip of elbow aligns over the leg
👉🏾 deep hand insertion with a straight (even slightly flexed wrist
👉🏾 spread the collarbone
👉🏾core muscles braced & ribs pulled down
A good Rack setting secures the weight to feel like a part of your body.
It also helps stabilize the upper and mid spine for high tension hinge movements.
Feel stronger under heavy Squats, Lunges, Good Mornings & Presses.

📣KB POWER TRAINING TIP📣
When it comes to ballistic Kettlebell exercises, don't hold out on your backswing.
The length of your backswing in a Swing, Clean and Sn**ch can dictate how powerful and efficient your technique is.
Shortening, or restricting your backswing is a great way to lose power in your hinge.
This will also cause your body to take the force of the weight's momentum with little deceleration, and cause more compression on the body (especially the low back).
A long & smooth backswing helps to absorb the momentum force easier, allowing you to be more balanced and powerful.
A long backswing with a good spine posture helps to:
👉🏾 distribute the momentum force over the entire body, especially in your strongest muscles
👉🏾 create more tension under stretch in the muscles for more muscle activity and toning
👉🏾 decompresses the joints (hips & shoulders especially) as length and space is created in the body

Grateful everyday for what Kettlebells have given me.
The ability to express and cultivate strength and athleticsm.
An outlet to challenge my mind and focus, while finding a balance with the daily stresses of life.
Best of all...a vehicle to live out a purpose of making an impact on peoples' lives.
Every rep I set myself up for...
Every rep I teach...
Grateful for the bell

If everything was easy you'd have everything already.
But there's a freedom in acknowledge this.
The goals you decide to pursue are going to be more worth it to you.
And once you start you're going to see it all the way through.
Cause why go through all that stress for nothing?
Flex for thought

💥FRIDAY BULLDOG FLOW💥
Finished off the week in style with a 40kg Bulldog strength flow
Clean + Jerk + Hang Clean + Long Push Press + Reverse Sn**ch to High Pull
15 rounds over 30 minutes with Chinup sets of 4 as a superset.
It's a gauntlet towards the end which makes the finish that much sweeter.
What will these bells think of next? 🤷🏾♂️

💥48KG STRENGTH FLOW💥
This was a battle with the Beast
Dynamic tension flows are a grind from start to finish.
It's a skill that takes a lot of energy to stay full body engaged for an extended period.
Controlled breathing mechanics help keep your nervous system calm and focus sharp under duress.
Inhale through the nose and control exhale during high points of effort (biomechanical breathing).
With practice you learn to breathe deeper into the diaphragm, which helps to:
🔺 increase volume of air intake during inhalation
🔺 maintain core bracing and internal torso pressure
🔺keep nervous system in parasympathetic (calm) state during physical stress
Consistent breathing is what gets me through this
BENT PRESS + WINDMILL + REVERSE GETUP
Strength, power, endurance, mobility, flexibility & resilience are all put to the test with this one.
There's no better tool for the athlete

I am a BLACK MEN!..... I build .... I don't tear down other BLACK MEN! ....
I have felt the pain of being torn down and I have decided I will be deliberate about building others!
If I didn't tag you, please don't be offended. I tried to pick people I thought would do this challenge!!
All too often, we men find it easier to criticize each other, instead of building each other up. With all the negativity going around let's do something positive!!🌟
Upload 1 picture of yourself...ONLY you. Then tag as many brothers to do the same. (FB only allows 50). Let's build ourselves up, instead of tearing ourselves down.
