You don’t need a large lifting platform and a whole complement of Olympic barbells and plates to train to be more explosive. Sure, there’s plenty to love about Olympic lifts—but given the space, technical prowess, gear, and time required to pull off the cleans, jerks, and snatches of the big-time barbell movements, they’re not the best choice for everyone. Instead, you should pick up a kettlebell. Since the tool’s handle and shape lends it to swings, snatches, and cleans, you’ll be able to train explosively without the same concerns that come when you work with barbells, since you’ll be able to work unilaterally and give your shoulders a larger range of motion to move through.Build explosiveness with this seven-move kettlebell workout, which blasts fat, increases strength, and readies you for everything from hoops games to trips to the hardware store in just about 30 minutes.
