5 Killer Kettlebell Exercises to Build Lean Muscle Fast
December 4, 2008 by admin · 5 Comments
As a real world fat loss expert who has helped hundreds of people lose thousands of pounds of fat, I know a thing or two about exercise selection. Because of this I am constantly asked what the best exercises are to lose fat AND gain muscle fast.
I’ll keep this as simple as possible for you. The best exercises for fat loss are also the best exercises for muscle gain and visa versa. These exercises all have one thing in common: they provide a UNIQUE challenge to your body AND involve as many muscles in your body as possible.
Both the scientific research and the real world case studies have shown that total body workouts are superior for maximal fat loss and muscle gain. But let’s take this one step further…
Let’s dramatically accelerate results by preferentially selecting TOTAL BODY EXERCISES within each TOTAL BODY WORKOUT! For example, squats are well known for being one of the best muscle-builders with a serious a fat-shredding effect. However, the squat goes from great to UNSTOPPABLE for changing your body for the better when you make it a combination movement by adding a row or press to each squat rep. It’s obvious that you can reap more benefits this way since you have now involved your upper body into the king of lower body exercises.
It’s as simple as the Dream Body Equation below:
Performing Total Body Exercises Within Each Total Body Workout à
More Muscles Involved =
More Calories Burnt + Greater Muscle-Building Stimulus =
Greater Fat Lost + Greater Muscle Gain
I have a true love-hate relationship with the following movements I am about to share with you. Love because of the unparalleled fat-melting, muscle-building results they provide. Hate because they break me every single workout by leaving me in tears while in a pool of my own sweat. In other words, these are not for the weak of mind, body, or soul!
Without further adieu, here is the official top 5 list of my favorite Kettlebell combination exercises in the world for fat loss and lean muscle gain:
Exercise#1- Double Kettlebell Clean + Squat + Push Press Combo
Exercise#2- Renegade Row + Spiderman Pushup Combo
Exercise#3- Kettlebell Snatch + Windmill + Overhead Squat Combo
Exercise#4- Kettlebell Reverse Lunge + Upright Row Combo
Exercise#5- Double Kettlebell Suitcase Deadlift + Jump Shrug Combo
Please remember that these are advanced movements that require coaching before attempting.
