For centuries the kettlebell has been the trusty “secret weapon” of athletes, wrestlers, soldiers, professional strongmen, and physical culturists the world over. In addition to forging hard bodies, fearless minds, and indomitable spirits, the kettlebell holds the key to unlocking a rare and potent set of movements known as ballistic lifts – exercises that use momentum to forge brute strength, raw explosive power, and next-level cardiovascular conditioning and stamina. Or at least that’s how it was supposed to be. As kettlebells faded into ancient history with the rise of exercise machines, health clubs on every corner, and Western civilization’s slow but decided turn toward easy living over a rugged existence, knowledge of how to use this tool slowly declined and disappeared. Then, with its triumphant reemergence onto the world stage at the dawn of the 21st century, collective interest in the ancient “weapon against weakness” once again surged forth, bringing with it a flood of new strength enthusiasts from all walks of life looking to reclaim their birthright of a mighty physique, brutishly powerful and resilient body, and a sleek, athletic frame – and the ballistic kettlebell lifts have once again reclaimed their throne. But there’s a problem: For most trainees – who are used to slow, linear movements with barbells, dumbbells, and machines – one element of the kettlebell ballistics continues to confuse, frustrate, and hinder even the most dedicated of kettlebell fanatics: THE ARC. The Arc describes the quick, curved path the kettlebell must travel during a ballistic lift. And unlike many other elements of weight training, the Arc cannot be conquered, it cannot be captured, and it cannot be controlled. It can only be tamed. Even for experienced instructors the process of teaching budding kettlebell enthusiasts how to tame the arc has been more trial and error than it has been a precise and detailed treasure map. Until now. In this book, I will show you how to use a skeleton crew of tools – gymnastics rings, some floor space, and your own fair flesh – to unlock the secrets of ballistic strength in less time than you thought possible. And by the end of this bold and epic journey, you, too, can be a tamer of the lost arc!
