How to Develop and Issue Bone-Jarring Power—Without Shattering Your Own Body in the Process
with Gray Cook, RKC and Brett Jones, Master RKC
No one but a certified lunatic or a suicidal fool would punch up a Bugatti Veyron to its full 253 mph—while rigged with four different-sized wheels, paper-thin brakes—and a dodgy steering wheel…
Yet, athletes of every ilk take this risk with their own bodies on a serial basis.
Every time he thinks he's up-grading himself, chances are the average athlete is simultaneously de-grading himself…
And the more skilled the athlete, the more savage the likely damage.
Why?
Disregard for balance, folks…disregard for balance…
In our hunger to express ever-more power, most of us fail to create the foundational structure to safely express that power.
It's Pavel's analogy of firing a cannon out of a row boat. Disaster waiting to happen.
And correct foundational structure implies perfect balance, perfect proportion…
Anything less and you're on the slippery slide of dysfunctional, ugly movement—the inevitable precursor to activity-crippling injury.
No team has done more this century to offer a working solution to this athletic dilemma than Gray Cook and Brett Jones…
Beginning with his trailblazing Athletic Body and Balance, his creation of the FMS system, and now with his magisterial new Movement, Gray Cook has established himself as without peer in the realm of functional movement, screening, assessment and corrective strategies.
Then, thanks to the rock-star combo with Brett Jones, we saw the creation of the CK-FMS, the Secrets Of series, Kettlebells from the Ground Up and now the latest masterly program, Kettlebells from the Center—Dynami.
As any good martial artist or football player will tell you, issuing power without a solid structure is just begging for injury.
Dynami offers a blueprint to ensure not only you possess the power but you possess the structure and foundation to handle your power safely.
For what you'd pay for one average sports massage, Dynami gives you a lifetime of strategies to ensure you continue to deal out your punishment in the right direction: your opponent, not your own self.
To quote Brett and Gray:
"Do not build your house on a foundation of sand—this is time honored and excellent advice. A rock-solid foundation means a house that will last. Power training should follow the same mind set.
Kettlebells from the Center—Dynami lays out a systematic approach to develop the proper pattern or foundation for the two best power moves – the Kettlebell Swing and Kettlebell Push-Press.
Once a pattern has been formed the program continues to cement the proper pattern with strength moves like the Kettlebell Squat and Kettlebell Tall Kneeling Press.
Then the program takes a unique approach to symmetry.
Symmetry of strength is checked using Single Leg and Bottom Up kettlebell drills.
Then everything comes together to form the Dynami or Power."

Kettlebells From the Center - Dynami
Auvaun - Dynami – Power
No matter the language, power -- physical power for our purposes -- is the goal of this DVD and Manual. But power of any kind can be misapplied and destructive if not properly cultivated and earned.
Power training is one of the hottest topics in fitness today. Nearly everyone is talking about how to train for it and what tools are best for that training (see references throughout). Seniors, athletes, and those who strive to lose weight are all being told to train for power. But are they ready to train for power? The primary goal of this DVD and Manual set is to provide a systematic way to prepare for building power.
Our bodies are capable of amazing things. "Grandma lifts car off granddaughter" is a headline or story we have all seen. This phenomenon indicates the strength and power residing within us that we rarely tap into. Expecting a grandmother to lift a car outside of the extreme stress of the situation is equivalent to telling grandma to hit the gym and power through some medicine ball slams. This may be an extreme example, but too often fitness recommendations are made without consideration of whether they are appropriate for the individual.
Every skill must be built upon a strong foundation, and Kettlebells From the Center will guide you through laying the foundation for your power. The following sequence of steps is repeated for building each movement shown in the DVD and Manual.
