Examining The Kettlebell Swing; Good For Strength Or Not?

Investigate by cursedthing

Today I’m taking a closer look and I mean a “cat’s eyes” closer look at the effects of kettlebell swings on strength. The question is that are kettlebell swings good for strength or not? It’s that simple, or is it? Well if you want to know the answer then you’ll have to scrap the old “curiosity killed the cat” mindset and continue to read on!

Well if there’s one character that’ll build some momentum once they get going it’s the Juggernaut! So this is exactly why I’ve chosen to title this workout for the same reason. As far as your strength and mobility this workout is going to help you build on some serious momentum and you don’t have to have a lot of equipment, or access to a gym in order to make it happen. That’s right this one is all about a jump rope, some kettlebells, and your own body resistance.

Identify Your Strength Needs…

Little Bane

So there is an issue with many people trying to figure out what strength elements to incorporate into their training pretty much on a day to day basis. Whether you are a regular Joe or Jane, or you happen to be a competitive athlete today you’ve got to do a bit more than just roll into the gym to hammer out some bench press, crunches, and arm curls.

There is a time and place for these things, but if you’re going to step up your strength training program then you’ve got to identify the needs of your training. In addition to this if you’re going to incorporate some of those arm curls into your training program then make sure you don’t do that shit in the squat rack. That’s just asking for trouble!

So I posed the question on Facebook as to what kind of posts folks would be interested in seeing me do here on this next blogisode. Well, I got some great feedback ranging from squatting strength, soft tissue work/manual therapy, to running, and strength building to improve one’s fitness level.

Well, in short I kind of decided to combine a bit of all of these things into this post to address how you can improve your running strength and just your good ole strength in general. Note: I am NOT a runner. Ok, let me clarify that statement. I am not a distance runner, however I have always been a pretty good sprinter. Now you’ve got to tune in to see how I’m going to make sense of all of this, right? 🙂
