Often the Kettlebell Clean can be just as difficult or more difficult to master than the kettlebell Snatch. The kettlebell clean technique is different than the technique for a barbell power clean used in Olympic weightlifting. A few key differences are: With a kettlebell clean you do not shrug your shoulders. The movement is led by the power generated from your hips and your shoulders should have minimal or no movement.

Last weekend I presented my strength workshop I Am Not Afraid To Lift at Drive495 in New York City to a sold-out group of 30 people. The workshop was open to both men and women, however the majority of attendees were women. The Women from Results Driven Fitness in Central Valley, NY This was significant because it is not often that a group of 20 plus women gather together to discuss and… Read More
During a training session one time, one of my clients said to me, “Artemis, you should do a workshop about Mental Toughness – about how to be mentally tough.” At the time the client was having a challenging session, she was overworked, sleep deprived, and she was struggling to get through some of her least favorite exercises. When she said this to me I smiled because this was not the first… Read More
Beast 48kg (~106lbs) Swings! Through training for the Iron Maiden Challenge, just like training for anything else or even training in general, I’ve had good training days and bad training days. For the most part I have had good training days and felt positive about my training.

For some of us it is pull-ups, for some kettlebell instructors it is the snatch test that we have to do in order to receive and maintain our certification, for me, and some others, it is heavy pressing. In order to overcome these challenges and achieve the goals that we set out to do, it is about finding that… Read More
If you follow my blog, as most of you know I am training for the Iron Maiden Challenge. For the challenge a woman must complete three lifts, pull-up, strict press and pistol squat all with a 24kg (~53lbs) kettlebell. The equivalent for men is the Beast Challenge with a 48kg (~106lbs) kettlebell. I had planned to attempt this challenge in April when I assisted at the Boston SFG Level I Certification but… Read More

After that post, I received some questions as to how did I get from where I started using 10lb kettlebells to where I am at now using 20kg kettlebells and beyond?

As a dancer from the age of 3 ½ turned martial artist at age 27, I have always been athletic, physically strong, strong willed, and a master of my bodyweight. Not until I changed careers from IT consulting to work full-time as a personal trainer and obtained my Russian hardstyle kettlebell certification did I… Read More

Let’s face it, as Canadian Professor of Spine Biomechanics Stuart McGill confirms, crunches are OUT and there are much better, safer and more functional methods to train one’s core. Some of the safest and most effective methods for training the core… Read More
