Master Kettlebell Racking: And 10 steps to find your racking position easily
Proper kettlebell racking is so easily overlooked, after all, it's just holding two kettlebells in front of you! So people think that just start out with kettlebell training. However, soon they'll discover that not knowing how to rack a kettlebell properly burns out the shoulders, prevents proper resting in endurance, reduces efficiency, and can cause injury.
Finding your kettlebell racking position is not always easy, I have heard many different reasons that could be the problem, like; having breasts, not having the right body type, inflexible, being overweight etc. and yes, those could be valid excuses in some cases, but from my experience it’s usually the trainer/teacher that does not know how to provide the proper progressions and cues for the student to find their racking position, or to make them fully understand the position and its objectives.
In this short ebook I will cover extreme details about a subject that seems insignificant, and yet, I have so much more to explain about it. I wanted to keep this book short and to the point with photos and dot points to illustrate what the tip of the iceberg means when it comes to kettlebell training.
I hope this short book helps you get more comfortable with kettlebells, and remember, I'm a real person, a real coach, you can find me online and actually ask me free questions in the groups that I list in the book. See you soon.

About the author
Taco Fleur
68 books2 followersMy name is Taco Fleur, and I'm a Russian Girevoy Sport Institute Kettlebell Coach, IKFF Certified Kettlebell Trainer, Kettlebell Level 1 + 2 Trainer, Kettlebell Science and Application, HardstyleFit Kettlebell Level 1 Instructor, CrossFit Level 1 Trainer, CrossFit Judges Certificate, CrossFit Programming Certificate, MMA Conditioning Level 1, MMA Fitness Level 1 + 2, Punchfit Trainer and Plyometrics Trainer Certified, with a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Owner of Cavemantraining, author of over 10 kettlebell books, courses, and certifications. Author on BoxRox and featured in 4 issues of the Iron Man magazine. I have owned and set-up 3 functional kettlebell gyms in Australia and Vietnam, and lived in the Netherlands, Australia, Vietnam and Thailand. I’m currently living in Italy where we will spend some time and then move on to Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, and so on. If you’re going to be in Italy La Spezia area this year come and look me up for a workout!
The first thing I'd like you to know about me is that I do not know everything, I don't pretend to know everything, and I never will. I'm on a path of life-long learning. I believe there is always something to learn from someone, no matter who they are. I've been physically active since the day I arrived on this earth in 1973. I got serious about training in 1999, touched a kettlebell for the first time in 2004, and got serious about kettlebell training in 2009. I'm here to do what I love most, and that is to share my knowledge with the world.
Some of my personal bests are 400 burpees performed within one hour; 500 kettlebell snatches, 500 swings, and 500 double-unders completed in one session; 250 alternating dead clean and presses in one session with 20kg; 200 pull-ups in one session; 200 unbroken kettlebell swings with a 28kg; most kettlebell swings completed in one session with a 28kg (1,501); most total kettlebell swings done in 28 days with a 28kg (11,111); windmill with a 40kg kettlebell; lugged a kettlebell up a 3,479m mountain; 160kg dead lift; 100 snatches on sand with a 24kg kettlebell; 85kg Olympic Squat Snatch; 300 unbroken clean and jerk with 20kg kettlebell; 10 minute unbroken clean and jerk 79 reps with 2 x 16kg kettlebells; 1 hour unbroken clean and jerk with 16kg; 532 unbroken snatches and achieved rank 2 in kettlebell sport. I mention these PBs not to boast but to demonstrate that I have a good understanding of technique and movement across different areas.
My own training and goals are geared around GPP (General Physical Preparedness) which involves kettlebell training, calisthenics, and CrossFit. I like high-volume reps but also like greasing the groove now and again. My main goals are to remains as agile as possible, remaining mobile, training in as many planes of movements as possible, and learning as many different exercise combinations and movements as possible while having fun and enjoying Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. I'm no Arnold Schwarzenegger and never will be, but strength is not solely defined by physical appearance and huge bulging muscles.
