The question I looked through this thread for is - In ETK, Pavel says to start your workout with wall squats, halo's and pumps.
What are pumps?

Pumps are a stretch. It's shown in the ETK DVD, and I believe in the book as well. It's where you get on all fours, then you extend your hips as far towards the floor as possible (it's supposed to help you stretch your hip flexors out), then you put your butt in the air and press your head through your arms as far as possible (this is supposed to stretch out your shoulder area).
If that's unclear, the DVD will surely show you what I'm talking about.
6. Why kettlebells? Why not dumbbells?
If you have dumbbells and like them, use them. There's nothing wrong with the DB clean and press or snatch or swing.
Could we add info on the armbar and the armbar press? It took me some time to find some good answers.
Gary Berenbroick did a very good video.
Iron Tamer and Geoff Neupert also did a video.
I glad i looked here, its help no end, thank you![]()
