The push-up has to be the most well-known and widely used bodyweight exercise of them all. However, the number of people performing them seems to be much lower than it should be. This is probably for a number of reasons, but the main one has to be the fact that the majority of people discard push-ups when they feel they cannot build any real strength with them. This is a huge mistake.

Tom Corrigan is not just any kettlebell instructor, his thirst for knowledge began as a high school athlete and continued with a Masters Degree from Western Washington University. He is currently a firefighter for the city of Everett, Washington. In his many adventures across the globe, he’s trained with Pavel Tsatsouline, Dimitri Satiev, Mikhail Marshak, Valery Fedorenko, Dennis Vasiliev, Igor Morozov, Sergey Rachinskiy, Vladimir Tikhonov, Sergey Rudnev, and the legendary Sergey Mishin. He’s the coach behind the coach, and is often called upon do diagnose and analyze training templates and technical issues. He’s coached both football and wrestling so the transition to teaching kettlebell lifting is not merely a passing fancy. He’s got both the pedigree and the time under the bells.

Years ago I worked in a Sports Clinic in Fort Lauderdale. We were in a beautiful area between the intercoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean. Our clientele included many affluent local residents, medical personnel and some elite athletes. This would include members of the New York Yankees, Strikers Soccer team, runners, tri-athletes and a member of the Fort Lauderdale Lifeguards Ocean Rowing Team. I’m going to focus on the training of a member of this team. This was around 1984, so understand the trends, technology and methodology of the time.

Johann Cruyff said stated, “It’s all very simple: if you score one more than your opponent, you win.” This is one of my favorite quotes about The Beautiful Game, and I think it encapsulates the sport at its basic level. Jogging, sprinting, cutting, jumping, tackling, kicking, diving and more are all skills that need to be taught, practiced and executed during a game to achieve the greatest success.
