Even before I started kettlebell training, when I was doing bodybuilding and mountain biking training, my goal was to have legs that made people ask, "What do you do for your legs?"
I never cared about the "How much do ya bench? " bro question.
The problem with training legs with barbells and machines is that you're pretty limited on what you can do unless you have access to a bunch of machines or train unilateral legs with barbells. (Which I did more than anyone I knew at the time). Damn I love some reverse lunges and split squats ...
Anyway, once I found kettlebells, my training really opened up, and I found so many angles to train my legs.
Front Squats with kettlebells are incredible IMO, but you'll be limited by your rack position and how long you can hold it. SO..... rock the front squats to nail your quads and torso, then roll 'em back to get your hips, glutes, and hamstrings !
That's The Good old Transformer squat!
This is also a really cool way to progress as well
Example 2x 32kg kettlebells for 3 front squats and 5 back squats .
Next time can be 4 /5, 5/5 etc
I like 3-4 sets of 3/3 or 4/5 on Transformer squats but it can really vary depending on goals
With no leg extension machine at your home, this is the best way to directly hit your quadriceps training with kettlebell only. This is one of the reasons I have a larger vastus lateralis than many kettlebell users. The original Somersault Squat video I made in 2009, before I got into KB training, was done on a Smith Machine.
You can view it here to see the differences
I prefer to do 1-2 sets of 10-20 reps on somersault squats
Unilateral leg training is where it's at in my opinion. People often say you can't lift heavy enough kettlebells to build legs. But it's just HOW you do it. A 400 lb barbell squat divided by 2 legs is 200 lbs per leg. This is accomplishable with 2x 44 ish kg kettlebells held at your side and reverse lunging. So 200 lbs divided by 1 leg.
You get it.
And the beauty of KB is you have so many places to put hold the load!!!
Cossack squats can even be included in this section, but many people lack the mobility needed.
Personally, I'd rotate through the three to get a lot of good angles for muscle stimulation.
I like 3 to 4 sets of 4-8 reps each side on exercises like this
Kettlebell Swings are cool and all, but there is only one real speed for the motion and the weight is negligible at the top. While I do KB swings, they're not my top 5 for building muscle.
Kettlebell Deadlifts are great muscle builders, and the outside-the-leg version hits the glutes differently than the inside-the-leg version due to the broader range of motion for the glutes.
I prefer keeping the weight from reloading onto the floor to keep tension and most of the time prefer Romanians. But here is a superset showing swings and heavier deads.
I prefer doing 3-5 sets of 5-8 reps on these.
The wider stance needed will target your adductors, and the dead stop version will hit multiple angles of hip flexion and extension. It's like adding a mini loaded squat in between every clean. As I mentioned in my previous article, I feel the kettlebell clean is MUCH more suited to building full body muscle compared to the Kettlebell Swing.
Read more on that, here.
Hitting 5x4-5 of these fairly heavy is good for me most of the time
Feeling the connection to the ground when you're lifting heavy and fast needs to be a focus.
Below is a non-biased, in depth review of the Xero Shoes FORZA TRAINER I've been using for my kettlebell training for the past couple of summers. I am also wearing them in a few of the videos above.
They are KBOMG approved, so you can get them here https://www.xeroshoes.com/go/kbmuscle
I paid for these out of my own pocket to test them, and since they worked well, I became an affiliate. This channel gets a payment when you make a purchase. Many of my clients have bought them and train in them today!
