Where KBs started in KL..

Checkout matcat.blogspot.com

It's the personal blog of Vince Choo, who runs KDT Athletics in Bangsar. As far as I know, he is the first trainer to actively use Kettlebells(KB) in fitness and martial arts conditioning in Malaysia. In fact, he supplied us with our first 24kg KB.

Need pointers on KB techniques or need a KB? Vince is the person to talk to.

Done by:
  • Soon & Jonathan (Completed 4 rounds)

Jon doing the Renegade Man-maker with 2 x 16kg KBs
By firmly holding the handle (by pressing with the heel of your palm with wrist almost straight) on both KBs in pushup position, perform a pushup then jump into a squat position, keeping chest lifted and lower back locked. Initiating the power from the legs up, thrusting the hips forward at the same time clean KBs into "rack" position. Press once and reset movements back down until KBs land on the floor, jump back into pushup position.
That is a rep of renegade man-maker. NOTE: Compulsory to learn the KB clean & press before doing this exercise. Enjoy


Sumo Deadlift @ 2 x 32kg KBs
Perform this exercise by keeping the weight in the heels. Have the body in an upright position while keeping the tension in your shoulder blades, push away and keep looking forward to avoid from hunching. Always have the belly drawn in and towards your spine to protect your lower back. Choose your weight carefully. Remember to warmup!
