In the latest issue of Mens Health Magazine there is a excellent article on Training using Olympic Lifting movements. Specifically the article focuses on the use of barbell Olympic lifts as the ultimate strength and conditioning exercises.
The article makes reference to the specific exercises (snatch, clean and jerk, and push press), the specific muscles trained, the type of results one can expect, the sheer amount of work it takes, body fat percentages, carryover to athletic performance, and just how technically challenging they are to learn
From my point of view the one thing they fail to mention is the kettlebells and how they are the ultimate tool for performing these Olympic movements. They produce all the same benefits with a lessesr learning curve (technically speaking for safe and effective performance/usage). Plus, you do not need a ton of weight…a few Kettlebells will do the trick.
So, if you were ever wondering how to maximize your training results and time, pick up the article and then invest in some kettlebells!
