This ebook covers the basics for kettlebell training, the things you need to learn on your first day of kettlebell training: lifting, hand insert, corkscrew and racking. It will also cover a few basics for the swing and show progressions from lifting to assisted clean, from assisted clean to swing clean and so on. The ebook also refers to a free 22 minutes video which you’ll get access to.
Learning how to clean a kettlebell properly is an extremely important part of racking, all overhead presses require you to bring the weight from a lower position into racking position. Not knowing how to clean is a sure way to get injured and working out inefficiently.

I am an absolute novice in regards to kettlebell training. In preparation for handling a KB for the first time I scoured the www and ended up at Taco’s video at YouTube directed at people like myself. I really felt supported by the video as it is very clear, combining both explanation and demonstration. The static contents of the video is in the document that I am commenting on here and the link is in the video. It is very helpful to make both available to the general public and KB-folk, for which I am very grateful. I have now started with KB-training on my own and both the video and the document are a great help in the pursuit of safely handling of and training with KBs. I look forward to progressing to the extent that I can safely enjoy the other (more advanced) Caveman videos as well. Thanks again. Great stuff!

Shantanu Sapru (Verified Customer) –
This is a simple review which hopefully captures my delight with this e-book: Everyone should try & get this, and go through it, and try & incorporate its philosophies/methods — these will greatly benefit all — be they novices or intermediates!
The safety-first, no-ego-lifting approach gels well with my mindset & philosophy as well…
Summarily: An EXCELLENT resource for beginners!!
