A six-week kettlebell strength program that can be completed with a single kettlebell. The program is simple and based on three super-powerful kettlebell exercises that work the full-body. Everything you need to complete the workout and program is covered in this book, warm-ups, exercise descriptions, photos, how to adjust the program, alternative exercises, muscle priming, and even a bonus video of the workout so you can see how to execute the movements. In Greek mythology, Prometheus is a Titan, who is credited with the creation of man from clay, and who defies the gods by stealing fire and giving it to humanity, an act that enabled progress and civilization. In our kettlebell world, Prometheus is going to be your progression in strength. The book has photos of the exercises but as a bonus, you get access to a video so you can see the workout in action. This kettlebell strength program is simple, simple as in just 3 exercises and 4 reps per set. Don't confuse that with easy. The exercises were carefully chosen for the following reasons. The first goal was to keep the exercise selection to a bare minimum. Both the swing and jerk are a full-body exercise, the swings hit the full posterior chain and quads, the jerks hit the legs and arms, and the rows work the upper part of the back which is usually neglected in training. All this combined will require recruitment of just about every muscle in your body. Not only will you look better after 6 weeks, but you'll also feel like the incredible hulk and move like spiderman. In all seriousness, you will gain an incredible amount of strength if you stick to the program, you will move better, feel better, and have increased mobility, especially in the hips and overhead. Results Some of the results you can expect when completing this program correctly are, but not limited to: Increase of overall strength Shoulder strength Leg strength Core strength Hip strength Arm strength Calf strength Increase of overall flexibility Shoulder stability Overall hypertrophy Triceps hypertrophy Quadriceps hypertrophy Latissimus hypertrophy Deltoids hypertrophy Increase of self-confidence Table of Contents About the author Results Number of kettlebells required What weight to start with Alternative exercises Why the rep range Adjust the program Warm-up Muscle priming routine Workout Frequency Progression Rest Accountability Exercise selection Kettlebell jerks Bent-over dead rows Kettlebell swings Single arm swing Double kettlebell Squat swing Racking Bonus resources About the author My name is Taco Fleur, and I'm a Russian Girevoy Sport Institute Kettlebell Coach, IKFF Certified Kettlebell Trainer, Kettlebell Level 1 + 2 Trainer, Kettlebell Science and Application, CrossFit Level 1 Trainer, CrossFit Judges Certificate, CrossFit Programming Certificate, MMA Conditioning Level 1, MMA Fitness Level 1 + 2, Punchfit Trainer and Plyometrics Trainer Certified, with a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
