RTS Coaching: Lazy Way to Rack 2-KB’s

on September 21, 2016 | by Mike Robertson

I’m a huuuuuuggggeeee fan (in my best Donald Trump voice) of 2-KB work. Whether it’s squatting, lunging, stepping up or anything in between, it’s one of my favorite ways to load athletes. Not only do you get the benefit of loading the anterior core to a high degree, but I also think you can really […]

Kettlebell Leg Training

on December 1, 2014 | by Mike Robertson

The other day I was having a discussion with one of my favorite athletes of all-time, the incomparable Danny O’Rourke. Every off-season, DO comes in and we put together a program to help him take his game to the next level, as well as prepare him for the rigors of a 9-month MLS season. He […]

The Kettlebell Armbar

on February 28, 2011 | by Mike Robertson

Since I know everyone loves kettlebell stuff, I figured this would be a great time to talk about kettlebell arm bars. Arm bars are an exercise that very few people seem to know about and/or perform. Kettlebell arm bars are fantastic for a few reasons:

The Kettlebell Windmill

on April 16, 2010 | by

One of my favorite kettlebell exercises is the KB windmill. I’m sure if Brett Jones is reading this he’s getting a laugh out of it. Here’s the 1-minute story. I wrote an article for Dragon Door a while back about how powerlifters can benefit from using kettlebells in their programming. I put a picture of […]

Mastering the Kettlebell Swing

on February 16, 2010 | by

This past year I’ve really become fascinated with kettebells. (Side Note: I also know and understand they aren’t the be-all, end-all of training. My gym still has plenty of dumbbells, barbells, and a bunch of other equipment to help you get big and strong) However, I do see the value in using them. And perhaps […]

Weak Torso Society

on January 12, 2010 | by

One of the consistent themes I see at IFAST when working with new clients is torso/core weakness. (Really from this point forward, I’m going to use the term “trunk” versus “core.” It’s much more all-encompassing, and doesn’t have the negative connotations associated with the words “core training.”) It’s pretty sad when you’re getting young, healthy […]

At-Home Kettlebell and Bodyweight circuits

on August 28, 2009 | by

One of my fat loss clients was remarking to me the other day about she’s having some issues getting to the gym three days per week. In an effort to get her doing something consistently outside of IFAST, I decided to write-up a quick-and-dirty routine that she can use to get in some metabolic work […]

What I learned at this weekend’s KB seminar

on January 26, 2009 | by

This past weekend we hosted a KB seminar at I-FAST, with Master RKC instructor Brett Jones being the guest of honor. We had about 17 attendees, and I’m pretty certain I can say that everyone learned a ton. I’m the first to admit I don’t know all that much about KB training. Sure, movement is […]
