How To Perform Kettlebell Armbars

Steeped in the traditions of ancient Russian strongmen, the Kettlebell Armbar is a true champion among exercises. With each rep you are pouring strength and stability into your shoulders, arms, core muscles – as well constructing an impenetrable fortress for everyday activities to be conquered by with ease. A perfect blend of braced abs and powerful hip drive results in triceps being handsomely rewarded on the backside all while balance & coordination receive complementary fringe benefits! When it comes time to heft that heavy load up those stairs–the ones far too long forgotten amid youthful dreams-you will thank yourself warmly indeed for introducing this regal exercise into your workout routine!

Exercise Instructions

When performing the Kettlebell Armbar exercise, think of your arm as a tree, firmly planted in place and rooted to the ground. Imagine your shoulder blades as two branches that reach toward the sky, stretching and growing with each repetition.
As you brace your abs and use your hips to drive the motion, it is important to resist any temptation to perform a shrug of the shoulders. Allow your core and hips to take the lead as you exhale, pushing your hip into the floor in order to increase the stretch.
After completing each repetition, to relax as you inhale let your body unwind like an inchworm slowly inching across the floor. Feel the stretch, then push and relax – your body will thank you!

Let’s face it – life is one big juggling act. Carrying groceries up the stairs? Catching a ball from your kids during an impromptu game of catch? The Kettlebell Armbar gives you that extra edge to perform everyday activities with ease and grace, building strength and stability in the shoulder, arm, and core muscles for greater balance “in midair”. If we may indulge our inner showoff just a bit: channeling unseen power into every movement will make any mundane task feel like child’s play…and leave friends wondering how you do it!
