    The document provides recommendations for proper foot and handle position when performing ballistic exercises with kettlebells. For foot position, the recommendations are to place weight on the midfoot rather than the heel, load the entire foot including the toes by shifting weight forward, and specifically load the big toe when squatting, swinging, or pulling to engage the posterior chain and glutes/hamstrings. For handle position, the recommendation is an "inverted V" where the kettlebell handles form an A-shape triangle and to drive the kettlebell back pinkie-first rather than thumb-first.

    FOOT POSITION ON THE BALLISTICS

    Use the feet straight position. Place your weight on the midfoot ( instead of the heel ) You have to load the whole foot, including the toes: shift your weight forward over the midfoot during set up. You need to load the BIG TOE. Use it when you are squatting, swinging or pulling. This loads the posterior chain, stabilizes the ankle, innervates the glutes and hamstrings causing them to contract harder.

    HANDLE POSITION Use the inverted V position: place the bells with handles forming an A triangle. When you drive the kettlebell back, go pinkie first ( not thumb ).
