Got Core Strength? Try KB Rocks!
Got Torso Strength?
The core is not only about building strength in fixed movement patterns, it is also defined as developing the required torso rigidity (isometric contraction of the anterior and posterior chains) to prevent injury and express power.
Lats are part of the core too!
In this new video, you’ll see another Diesel Crew original, Kettlebell Rocks. They are named rocks because you have to remain rigid and unwavering during the partner engagement.
The partner will throw the kb side to side at the peak of the swing. This is the exact moment that the lifter will brace, flex their lats, contract their abdominals and entire posterior chain to keep the kb path in line with a conventional swing.
The partner should be forceful and not tentative with their part of the movement. This movement is very CNS intensive and because of this, I would recommend anywhere from 8-12 reps to ensure quality.
Embed this video on your blog or point to it in your newsletter, let’s get the word out.
Oh yeah, check out the side bar. Make sure you follow us AND send me an email to let me know what your favorite Diesel articles and videos are and we’ll get them up in our new Popular section!
Thanks everyone,
Smitty

certainly like your web-site but you have to check the spelling on several of your posts.
Several of them are rife with spelling issues and I to find it very troublesome to tell the truth then again I will certainly come
back again.

I do not know if it’s just me or if perhaps everybody else encountering problems with your blog.
It seems like some of the written text on your posts
are running off the screen. Can someone else please comment
and let me know if this is happening to them as
well? This could be a problem with my browser because I’ve had this happen previously.
Cheers
