HARDSTYLE KETTLEBELL MTL is a school where we teach people strength training with Kettlebells. We are about the underlying principles, not just the tools used.
(46)
Hardstyle Kettlebell Mtl is a school where we teach people how to move better and encourage them to move often. We train movement patterns rather than muscle groups, and pay special attention to how each movement is performed, reinforcing quality over quantity. We emphasize and teach the skill of strength and flexibility/mobility, and strive for balance and symmetry in each, like Yin and Yang. Our
training philosophy can be compared to traditional Martial Arts because we challenge our students to “practice” rather than “workout”. This is mindful movement. We train and teach through the use of minimal equipment, such as kettlebells and one’s own bodyweight because we believe that simplicity is key and less is more when focusing on attaining results. Our classes and programs are fun, effective, unique and stimulating for everyone, from beginners to athletes and all ages groups. We never compromise quality and our number one concern is “do no harm”. We are known for making strength and flexibility easy and attainable to anyone, and most of all enjoyable for life. Everyone that comes through our door goes though a movement assessment and is consulted for a training program to fit their schedule and budget. We set goals for our students and standards for them to achieve. We work our hardest to attain them together. For rates and hours, please visit www.hardstylekettlebell.ca

GOING THROUGH EMOTIONS TODAY
Presented to group of troubled youth at Horizon Alternative School.
It was hard reliving my own moments locked up in jail. Going through that experience that forged me. Many of these kids have already been in jail.
Relating with them was not my goal. My goal was to inspire them into a better way of life.
Strength training was that for me. It was something that held me together mentally for so many years.
One kid had a hoodie with his cousin's picture on it. I asked about it and he told me he got stabbed to death. He was stabbed too, but survived.
These are the types of kids I was talking to.
No matter how hard you may be, have all have feelings we must process.

GET-UP TEACHING TIP:
Draw a line down your center, and divide in 2. One side up , one side down.
This will help you remember which arm/leg should be up/down.

According to Soviet neurophysiologist and biomechanist Nikolay Bernstein, “Exercise is repetition without repetition.” We view strength, endurance, and other qualities as skills and approach
our training as a “practice,” not a “workout.”
Powerlifting coach extraordinaire Louie Simmons observed: “Pavel has reverse-engineered what the strongest do naturally.”

OPEN YOUR SPINE FOR PETE'S SAKE!
I'm gonna be blunt. If you don't take care of your back now, you're gonna be miserable when you're older.
See people hunched over when they're walking?
Yeah, today's generation are living examples. 🤳🤳
I'm not saying you're one of them...All I'm saying is you need to TAKE CARE of your back with PROPER MOVEMENT otherwise you're going to miss it when it's gone.
🏋♂️STRENGTHEN YOUR BACK with weight lifting
🧎♂️SIT UPRIGHT during rest
🚶♂️BE ACTIVE: walk and do mobility daily.
Maybe this is a wake up call you need to hear. You've only got one body. It's time to treat it as such.
If you don't know how to get started, DM ME and I'll help you.

Reposted from : Kettlebell Row&Stand Clean Drill
Tame the arm and clean up your Clean with the Row&Stand drill. (Row&Stand is one word because it has to be done as fast as you can say it).
Step 1. Start in a hinged position with a neutral spine over your Kettlebell and perform an explosive One-Arm Row. The key is the tip of the elbow is above the top of the shoulder.
Step 2. Combine the Row and “Stand to Attention”: Row&Stand!
Step 3. Set-Up with the Kettlebell behind you to start from a stretch load, dead-stop position. Now Row&Stand!
Now 4. Finally, set up as you would normally be. Hike back and Row&Stand!
Try these drills to tighten your Clean!

GOT MY DOSAGE TODAY OF PREVENTION. DID YOU?
02/17/2021
"Most trainees—kettlebell and other modalities—tend to settle into a speed most comfortable for the given exercise, the pace at which the momentum makes the exercise the easiest. Thus, they do lazy pendulum swings and rush through their get-ups. This is the opposite of what you want if you are determined to get maximum results. The sky is the limit when it comes to generating power with a moderate-size kettlebell. You do not need more weight, reps, or fatigue to take your swings to the limit: Just add power."

We are a school where we teach people how to MOVE BETTER and encourage them to MOVE MORE OFTEN. We train movements that challenge the entire body rather than isolating muscle groups, and pay we special attention to how each movement is performed, reinforcing quality over quantity.
Our PURPOSE is to make our students into better, stronger and more functional human beings for life. Everything we do here applies to everyday activities, and every exercise you perform will have a positive carryover to what you do outside the gym.
We emphasize and teach SKILLS of movement, strength and flexibility/mobility through better AWARENESS and strive for balance and symmetry in each, like Yin and Yang. Our training philosophy can be compared to traditional Martial Arts because we challenge our students to “practice” rather than “workout”. We are about the underlying principles, not just the tools used. This is mindful movement.
We train and teach through the use of minimal equipment, such as kettlebells and one’s own bodyweight because we believe that SIMPLICITY is key and less is more when focusing on attaining results.
We believe that just the right amount of exercise will have the greatest and most beneficial effect, and doing more would be wasted energy. We never train or exercise to complete exhaustion, always leaving some in the tank. This is the “minimum effective dose”. It is safer and more sustainable longer term. Our training sessions have to be repeatable and our goal is your success.
Our classes and programs are FUN, effective, unique and stimulating for everyone, from beginners to athletes and all ages groups. You will be challenged at your level of fitness without feeling defeated. Instead, our environment is friendly and non-competitive. We never compromise quality and our number one concern is “do no harm”. We are known for making fitness easy and attainable to anyone, and most of all enjoyable for life.
Everyone that comes through our door goes though a movement assessment and is consulted for a training program to fit their schedule and budget. We set goals for our students and standards for them to achieve. We work our hardest to attain them together.
