@hannay Noted, will make that tweak

@batoust I'm not sure what that is about, if you're getting dizzy you'll need to make modifications.

@taeniura Thank you! I'm in the same boat, my 16 kg pair has gotten constant use. I spend about 90% my time working with the 16 kg and 20 kg pairs. I do have some 24's and 28's that I'm working up to. And a lonely 32 haha. Now that I have a better idea of what kettlebell training is like, I...

@barronkanetaylor First off, Dan strikes me as a fairly measured guy, but that's besides the point. As for the double snatch, I have personally experienced the issues with training it. I'm someone with very long limbs and a short torso, it's easy for a person with my leverages to be pulled out...

@cosimnot Dan John is a great resource, definitely agree.

@fearisnothing Complexes are both tough and time-saving. They're a staple of kettlebell training and one of the best parts about the kettlebell as a tool. And because it's just a way to structure exercises, you can fine-tune them to focus on anything you want. You can attack so many qualities of...

@fearisnothing Absolutely a great idea! Things like swings are great to superset with leg pressing movements. They're not nearly as taxing as a deadlift so you can move between the two quite quickly. This sort of complex where you pair hip hinges and leg pressing is extremely common. Below is...

@fearisnothing You don't necessarilly need to move to more complex progressions like the overhead squat, I'd simply add difficulty with things like bands and techniques like ladders and complexes. You're not going to be able to use as much weight for some very challenging progressions like the...

@adamsharrisoniii You are correct, it is your upper back compensating. This is very common when you are starting out, and the upper back soreness will not be a consistent issue as your neck becomes more conditioned. Many people's neck muscles start out totally detrained, so your situation is...

Intro You may ask yourself, "Didn't this person write a post about how sandbags are more well-rounded than kettlebells a few months ago?" Yes, I did. However, I have recently become obsessed a big fan of kettlebell training, and experienced the unexpected benefits and carryover to my...

@trob442 So I'm not very knowledgeable in jaw training, but this exercise seems like it would be okay on your neck, assuming the load is very light and you can maintain your neck posture. However, I don't really see the need to do jaw training at all, outside of maybe a physical therapy...

@trob442 I have absolutely no idea if this is a joke or not, but I'm thrilled and very amused by your question. Are you asking about strengthening your jaw muscles? Like how the old school boxers would chew on wood to make themselves (allegedly) more durable against punches to the jaw?

@bookit I missed a major opportunity by not calling them this.

Intro Strengthening your neck muscles is an overlooked part of a training regimen. It insulates you from injuries during high-impact activities, and affects your upper body aesthetics. With the right bodyweight exercises, you can build a strong and healthy neck without the need for any...

In the process of editing tables to be used as a quick reference. It will take a while, but I do plan to do tables for all the listed exercises.

@juancarlos As far as I am aware it just aggregates all the entries for the lifts based on the entered bodyweight, age, and sex. So accuracy increases the more entries there are.

@xelalex I use the large Baseblocks pullup bar. The material is great, it can be a bit wobbly (I don't think this is an issue for the shorter bars). The thick grip is fantastic and very comfortable. The wobbliness can be addressed with heavy counterweights. I also have the old basebench, I...

@ngie When you say making it on a table, do you mean just taking the average strength standard for each male/female in each lift?
