Apekiller Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 (edited) Looks like a variation of the bottom-up exercise, holding it and moving it around. Just tried with 24KG, interesting exercise. I find these exercises to be much better however (with the same weight kettlebell): Fedorenko doing something very difficult here: There's also Pavel Tsatsouline's wrist drill (I find the kettlebell's handle to be very slippery during this exercise). - hold the kettlebell down, with the handle touching the floor - rotate the handle to be positioned vertically (still touching the floor) - grab the handle on the top part - try to lift the ball part of the kettlebell - while the bottom part of the handle still touches the ground. don't lift it in the air. You can also do this in reverse - grabbing it from behind (with your back turned opposite to it) Edited December 5, 2011 by Apekiller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
