A1) Triphasic Goblet squat
A2) Start stop SA swing
A3) “Hurdle” jump
.
Triphasic goblet squat allows the athlete to practice the eccentric phase of a movement where we absorb energy. The isometric phase where we come to a complete stop before re-accelerating (arguably the most important phase). Finally the concentric phase where we focus on acceleration and moving fast!
.
Start stop swings focuses on explosiveness. The athlete has to quickly produce force to move the kettlebell and control it back down to the starting position.
.
“Hurdle” Jump forces the athlete to focus on landing. Here we are trying to land with our heels off the ground. This is a lot harder than it looks but the athletes who can land with their heels off the ground can change direction the fastest.
