The Kettlebell and the Deadlift – A Formula to Develop Superior Pulling Power!

If you are looking to improve your athleticism, sprinting power, total-body strength, and develop a powerful back then you need to include the deadlift and kettlebell into your strength and fitness program. These 2 exercise tools will feed off of each other to give you mind-blowing results in both strength and power!

If you think about total-body strength and power you have to think about tasks and lifts that you perform on your feet, right? It only makes sense when you think about the true function and nature of the human body. After all, most every task or action we participate in occurs on our own two feet. This is how we are designed. In order to enhance this then what we must do is optimize what we have by better performing the way we are designed to perform.

Kettlebell training is a tremendously mobile style of training that is great for developing total-body strength and overwhelming conditioning for optimal fitness and athletic performance. The base lift of the kettlebell known as the double-arm kettlebell swing is performed by initiating a number of the posterior muscles to swing and move the bell in an arc of motion that runs from between your legs up to your chest level. This “powerful” pulling will undoubtedly strengthen the muscles of your shoulders, back, hips, glutes, and hamstrings just to name a few. This is an efficient way to give you serious pulling power!

Another method to implement for superior hamstring, glute, and back development is the infamous deadlift. Granted, just like the kettlebell swings, there are many variations of this lift, but the benefits are astounding. When engaging in such an intense multi-joint lift like that deadlift you can manipulate hundreds of muscles at once and stimulate your nervous system to produce an extraordinary amount of pulling strength. This lift is a great lift to help you to improve on just about every other lift or action that you perform on your feet. This lift will surely help you by increasing your functional abilities for better overall strength and total power for both athletic performance and optimal fitness! Incorporate both of these lifts into your training program if you are looking to develop some real results!
