10 Kettlebells principles:

1. Build from light to heavy
   Start with light kettlebells when you’re first learning a new move and then progress according to the numbers
2. Technique comes first
   Performing with good technique is called efficiency. Take your time to learn proper technique. It will save you time and energy during a workout.
3. Truth in numbers
   Always write down the numbers (reps, sets, duration, weight…) to track your progress
4. Build an explosive pulling pattern
   With exercises like The Clean and The Snatch you will build unmatching pulling power
5. Build an explosive pushing pattern
   With exercises like The Jerk you will build unmatching pushing power
6. Build strength, not stiffness
   Build a strength that is functional and useful, not just stiffness that cannot be used anywhere.
7. Build endurance
   Build endurance to recover faster from workout to another and as a skill by itself
8. Build flexibility
   We need enough flexibility to perform certain moves properly like a shoulder press. We don’t need to be contortionists but go ahead if you want to.
9. Build symmetrically
   Symmetrical qualities maintain balance between different planes of motion to prevent injuries
10. Pain free
    Never train while in pain. Always give yourself the necessary time to recover and come back stronger and always regress as needed.
