Get a better grip on the Kettlebell
If you ever have problems with the Kettlebell sliding around in your hand during a set, this might help. Usually when this happens, the pinky finger will slide into the corner of the handle, placing extra stress on the skin right beneath the finger. The simple solution is to grasp the bell differently. Instead of picking it up right in the middle, try placing your ring finger in the middle. Offsetting your grip in this manner will distribute the load more evenly for some people and help prevent tears underneath the pinky.

The Tri-Lat tuck for more power
This interesting technique comes from the World Class Coaching LLC's Olympic Lifting videos. When Olympic lifters set up before launching the weight overhead, they pull the weight towards their shins with their lats and triceps. In the kettlebell snatch and swing, it should feel like your armpits are pulling the weight between your legs. This extra action is very subtle, but it easy to feel the extra power and stability you will have. Of course, don't forget to snap your hips!

 

Improve Your L-Sit
	The L-sit cannot look much better than this. Russian gymnast Elena Zamolodchikova has perfect form and sets the bar pretty high for the rest of us. I would be smiling too if it was as easy as she makes it look.

The L-Sit on Parallettes is one of the best core exercises I know. If you don't have a set of parallettes, be sure to check out American Gymnast's website for some ideas. They also sell some very high quality parallettes with non-slip rubber feet.
Anyways, assume the normal L-sit position and hold for 5 seconds or so. Try to raise your feet as high as possible. Now, before your next set, try my version of the toe-touch stretch. It is described in great detail in an article I wrote for Dragon Door, but here are the basics. Place a flexband, bungee cord or piece of surgical tubing (anything that stretches) over a doorknob. Let it drape down and grab onto it around knee height, although depending on what material you use and your flexibility this can vary. Now instead of dropping down into the toe touch like you normally do, pull yourself down with your abs. You should find that you can go deeper than you normally can and there is no loading on your spine. It is also a great ab exercise, kind of like a standing cable crunch.
After getting a good stretch, loosen up and then go back to the L-sit. Keep on alternating this sequence, but allow yourself to rest for a few minutes between sets. This technique works best when you stay fresh. Another trick that might help is to raise your knees first and then kick your legs out. It is easier to hold an elevated position isometrically than it is to lift your legs to that position. I hope you enjoy this training complex.
