John Brookfield’s Tower of Terror

John Brookfield calls it the Tower of Terror. Basically its a bottoms up snatch with a flip out.

The thing is he’s doing it with a 112 lb. kettlebell and making it look like nothing. In fact, the difficulty of this move is deceptive especially when you see him go through 15 reps.

It has to be one of the most impressive feats I’ve ever seen.

John got his start using kettlebells doing the juggling. And with no outside direction it was up to him to make up a number of moves. And creative names to go along with them.

One of the bonuses that comes with The Definitive Guide to Kettlebell Juggling is an interview I did with John Brookfield. It covers a number of different things on training including, of course kettlebell juggling. There’s other move besides the Tower of Terror like the Taffy-Maker.

Give this one a try (with a lighter weight please) and see how it goes for you.

In strength,
Logan Christopher
