Training methods #1

Today's update is not an exercise, but a different form of training.

KETTLEBELLS!!!

Kettlebells are one of the oldest pieces of equipment used in fitness and strength. They look like cannon balls with a tea kettle style handle on top. The use of kettlebells as opposed to dumbbells or barbells is for a more extreme balance and flexibility. Explosiveness and balance are more important when using these over brute strength and power, as well they build a very well rounded athlete for rugby backs that need that flexibility to be able to dodge, dart, and take hits without injury. They build the tiny muscles that other types of equipment can't seem to hit. Kettlebells are EXTREMELY form intensive, you MUST have proper form when using them and should be trained by an actual person (not video or book) in using them properly. Injuries are easily sustained by those who take on this type of lifting without proper training, but with proper instruction the rewards are well worth the risk.

NOTE: I have very little (however some) instruction with kettlebells, if any of you is interested in using these, I can easily get more coaching on how to teach you guys, as well as I'm sure our fit boss would have no issues with buying some.
