Description

The Kettlebell-Lover’s Primer for Rapid Physical Transformation and Peak Athletic Performance… When Dragon Door originated the modern kettlebell movement in 2001, it was love-at-first-sight for millions of fitness enthusiasts worldwide. This almost magical “gym-in-the-palm-of-your-hand” can deliver spectacular results--be it in strength, conditioning, power or movement quality. The health-strength benefits of vigorous, dedicated, skilled exercise with kettlebells can indeed be off-the-charts. But note the all-important word “skill”. Because without the proper know-how, the kettlebell reverts to just an iron ball with a handle—or to a misused, misunderstood tool that heaps abuse and perhaps injury on its unskilled user. Which is the reason for Master RKC, Max Shank’s Master the Kettlebell… Max Shank champions an approach to kettlebell training that emphasizes safe, sustainable gains for a long, strong and above-all healthy life. Master the Kettlebell accordingly presents straightforward, practical programs that allow a beginner to make steady yet dramatic progress—while providing strategies and methods for even the most accomplished athlete to up their game. Study Max—either in this book or in person—and if you replicate what you see, athletic gold awaits you. As importantly, you’ll be rewarded in Master the Kettlebell with an absolutely fluff-free blueprint on how to develop your own high-level skills in movement, power generation and strength—using the world’s single best tool for the job. Warrior-athletes revere the kettlebell for the added resilience and hitting-power it gives them. Endurance athletes value the extreme conditioning challenge. Kyphotic desk-jockeys see salvation in the end to their back-pain and a renewed vitality. Both genders appreciate the dramatic toning and firming of butt, thighs and abs.
