The distinction is centered around both the selection of exercises and the philosophy of movement training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A linear approach to training values movements in a single plane, like a straight line, as the building blocks of the training program. Common examples are the deadlift, bench press, bent-over row, and similar fundamental strength-building exercises. A nonlinear or circular strength approach to training values multiplanar movements that incorporate a rotational component. Common examples of nonlinear exercises are the kettlebell snatch, Turkish get-up, and clean and press.<\/p><div class=\"pscsite-billboard-ad-in-content\" style=\"text-align: center;\" id=\"pscsite-3202072035\"><div data-cfpa=\"12108\" data-cfpw=\"12108\" id=\"pscsite-3787265796\"><a data-bid=\"1\" data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/prepstrengthcoach.com\/supplier-partner-connect\/12108\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"notrack\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Speedster950x250Final5\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/prepstrengthcoach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Speedster950x250Final5.gif?fit=950%2C250&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\"  width=\"950\" height=\"250\"   \/><\/a><\/div><script type=\"text\/javascript\">;new advadsCfpAd( 12108 );<\/script><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The most common tools for training linear strength are the barbell and dumbbell. Most exercises move from point A to point B in a straight line. The kettlebell is the most notable tool for nonlinear training and can be placed at the center of an unconventional training model. Because of the use of inertia, the so-called pendulum swing mechanics, the kettlebell movements facilitate rhythmic, cyclical patterns. These cyclical patterns are by nature nonlinear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A kettlebell lifter does not train exclusively nonlinear movements and also values developing linear strength. Heavy kettlebell presses, for example, are a common exercise for developing upper-body strength and move in a more linear trajectory. However, because of the kettlebell\u2019s distance between the load and the handle, the kettlebell facilitates a nonlinear, or swinging, way of moving and extends the range of motion that the kettlebell travels during a given exercise. This swinging motion present in most kettlebell exercises creates the circular nature of the patterns and incorporates force development through multiple planes (frontal, sagittal, and transverse).<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"attachment_5817\" style=\"width: 299px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/prepstrengthcoach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/kettlebell.jpeg?quality=89&#038;ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5817\" class=\"wp-image-5817 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/prepstrengthcoach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/kettlebell.jpeg?resize=289%2C300&#038;quality=89&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"289\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/prepstrengthcoach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/kettlebell.jpeg?resize=289%2C300&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 289w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/prepstrengthcoach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/kettlebell.jpeg?resize=768%2C798&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/prepstrengthcoach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/kettlebell.jpeg?resize=250%2C260&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 250w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/prepstrengthcoach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/kettlebell.jpeg?resize=481%2C500&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 481w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/prepstrengthcoach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/kettlebell.jpeg?w=979&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 979w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 289px) 100vw, 289px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-5817\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">FIGURE 1. EXAMPLE OF AN UNCONVENTIONAL TRAINING MODEL.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n<p>With the proliferation of the unique \u201cunconventional\u201d training equipment sparked by the popularity of kettlebells over the last 20 years, more personal trainers, gyms, and programs follow primarily an unconventional training matrix. Often these unconventional tools are paired with barbells, dumbbells, and other more traditional tools to develop more comprehensive movement systems, which incorporate both linear and nonlinear strength development. Figure 1 demonstrates how an unconventional training model might look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this model, kettlebell training and bodyweight mobility and conditioning make up the center of the programming. The left side adds in supplemental equipment and exercises that complement the unconventional model. The right side blends in other handheld tools such as clubs and macebells. The top and bottom use more traditional barbell exercises for limit strength and power development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A well-rounded unconventional model will focus on kettlebells paired with bodyweight exercises as the core development (e.g., 3 days per week, and the outer edges can be added in to round out the matrix).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This article was excerpted from&nbsp;<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/us.humankinetics.com\/products\/kettlebell-training-2nd-edition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kettlebell Training \u2014 2nd Edition<\/a><em>, and was written by Steven Cotter.
