No better technique then the professionals and by professionals, the guys who compete and have to train full time for it. <BR/><BR/>We are always continuing to learn to improve ourselves but its actually simple to learn it right the first time. ;)Kettlebell Lifterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09934273286359997029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009718972441576054.post-52005342439557704112008-06-27T06:03:00.000-07:002008-06-27T06:03:00.000-07:00Marty,I fully agree-and not because I am a "coach"...Marty,<BR/><BR/>I fully agree-and not because I am a "coach"-with you about acquiring one to learn good skills. The most basic reason is that a trained coach has the "eye" to pick out all the minute errors, which lead to bigger ones, in technique. <BR/><BR/>With clients, I tell them from the get go that I will "nit-pick" and the importance of doing so in improving technique. I remember working with you last summer, I was jerking and you pointed out that I broke contact with my iliac crest before I was supposed to. At that point in my training, I definitely would not have known the relevance of it. The point, it took another pair of eyes to bring that to my awareness.<BR/><BR/>For individual who are considering competing or new to kb lifting, I definitely recommend working with a coach versus trying to learn from books, DVD's, or youtube-which has been recommended online recently :(<BR/><BR/>RebeccaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
