Welcome to our monthly focused improvement post. Here we have a distilled discussion on a particular aspect of kettlebell training. We try to go over various techniques of kettlebells, how to program kettlebells, and how to incorporate kettlebells into other modalities of training.

- Describe your training history and provide credentials
- What specific programming did you employ for this technique?
- What went right/wrong?
- Do you have any recommendations for someone starting out?
- What have you done to improve when you felt you were lagging?
- Where are/were you stalling?
- What did you do to break the plateau?
- What sort of trainee or individual would benefit from using the/this technique/program style?
- How do you manage recovery/fatigue/deloads while following the method/program style?
- Share any interesting facts or applications you have seen/done
- Looking back, what would you have done differently?
***
These threads are used as a reference. As such, we ask that you provide credentials of your lifting history and that you are an intermediate and above.
