5 Exercise Variations That You Should Include In Your Programming
To get results you need to master the basics. Squat, press, hinge, carry, etc. There are many different variations of the basic movement patterns and here are some great exercises that you can do and incorporate into your programming right away. Besides, if the weight isn’t moving up in the standard lifts try these variations for a while, and you will notice you will get stronger.
Turkish Get Up with Landmine – This exercise will figure out your weak spots when it comes to the kettlebell quick! Especially with how your feet are planted in the ground.
Split Leg Elevated Front Rack Squat – A great exercise that I got from Eric Cressey. Try pairing this exercise with kettlebell swings. You can thank me later.
Kettlebell Shoulder Press with a band- If you have a sticking point when it comes to the kettlebell shoulder press, try tying a strength band on to the bell and use a weight lighter.
Lateral Bottoms Up Kettlebell Clean- This is a fun exercise that I got from my friend Franz Snideman. Just make sure the kettlebell doesn’t smoke you in the face.
One Leg Deadlift on Landmine- Studies have shown to increase your poundage when it comes to the deadlift, try doing a one legged version for a while and you should be able to increase your weight when you go back to doing normal deads.
There you have it! Give these a shot and let me know how it works.
