    Good video, by the way!

  2. slizzardman says:

    Hand position is up to the individual. The further back the fingers point, the harder the exercise gets, because you lose the cantilever action of the hand and fingers when they are to the sides or forward.

    This puts more pressure on the biceps tendon and should be worked into slowly.

    This will slow down progressions from position to position initially but will provide great biceps tendon conditioning for beginning Iron Cross work a few years down the line.

    Also, credit Coach Sommer!

  3. slizzardman says:

    You’ve missed a few key points. The reason this position is important is for biceps tendon conditioning. The straight arm causes huge forces to act on the biceps tendon. Over time it gets stronger. Never hold your max, always work sub-maximally to protect the biceps tendon.

    It is ok if you can’t straighten your elbows all the way at first, just work your way to it!

    It is vital to do this on the floor and not on DB or bars. You miss out on great hand and wrist conditioning that you need later.

    very unique! I have a few videos, that would be interesting to see.

  9. XIPM3 says:

    he should stop fucking around and go to special forces selection already- i have no doubt in my mind that he would make it and serve as a phenomonal operator.

    Found his squat video.
    Search youtube using:
    Steve Cotter – Kettlebell Demo Video

    Amazing!!

  11. Eric3Frog says:

    Steve is amazing. You should see him doing jumping one legged squats off of a table (pistols). I don’t know what the vid is called, but it is here on youtube.

  13. Niophant says:

    There are 9 exercises total. They’re all part of the lying tiger set.

  14. Niophant says:

    These exercises should never be performed without first properly conditioning the wrists and hands. To condition, start with knuckle push-ups. Try building up to 2 sets of 50 and then 2 sets of 100. Consult a physician before performing any rigorous exercise and track down a good internal martial arts instructor if you want to learn more about how to safely strengthen the body…

  16. sneakoviedo says:

    The last one with the spinning leg is also an old school move used in breakdancing

  17. TheBarerOfBadNews says:

    Very impressive…

  18. darktim99 says:

    develops great muscle endurance.

  19. asdf2000 says:

    first one is doable for me but it hurts my wrist

    normal right?

  20. adtv775 says:

    Lying tiger is the name of the entire set.

  21. Bigturns33 says:

    Hes a fucking freak.

  22. stunthakon says:

    Great exercises, Thnx for posting.

  23. Ryukikon says:

    which one was the the lying tiger, is it the first one?

  24. andtckrtoo says:

    I’m in awe. He wasn’t even breathing hard after doing that!! He does come across as a very nice approachable guy. I have his Extreme Kettlebell workout, and the more I see, the more I admire him.

  25. malikistwo says:

    i can’t imagine how powerful he is

  26. h92801 says:

    see that’s how u make frindes

  27. norwaydbp says:

    He seems like a really nice guy, and he’s probably one of most impressive physical culturalists alive. I’d love to get down on a seminar, as I found his Encyclopedia of Kettlebell Lifting very helpful and thorough.

  28. JDBoelter says:

    I have a friend who learned this sequence from Cotter at a seminar, and it sounded incredibly cool. Man, Cotter is really something, isn’t he? I HAVE to find time to attend one of his seminars!
