Kettlebells and Football Training
September 15, 2008
Kettlebells are one of the most controversial strength training tools in the world today. It seems they are either loved or despised. I think they are an excellent tool, especially for football conditioning and explosive training.
I believe their popularity is due to their simplicity. Simply pick the weight up and get to work….
Done for high reps, Kettlebells provide a unique fat loss and conditioning tool.
Done for more moderate reps and heavier weight, they can be an effective strength builder.
Throwing K-bells is another great way to use them in a program. The simple but extremely effective Behind-the-Head Toss is one of the best movements to teach the transfer of power from the ground up.
These can be done prior to your heavy upper body work or as a finisher. It won’t take much, maybe 5 or 6 strong tosses and call it a day.
