@misterpriceless Yeah well, don’t believe too much of what he says in any case, but for sure you can hit the biceps without dying dumbbell curls. Cleans can hit the biceps. Rows do hit the biceps. Pull-ups hit the biceps. I haven’t done curls in years and have decent biceps (can curl a 20kg...

@wethefreepeople Depends on what you do for training. For KB Sport go in KG. For fitness it doesn't matter, weight is weight, just make sure the pairs are the same if you get doubles.

@sk213 So both kinds of training: general fitness (also known as "hardstyle") and kettlebell sport come from Russia/Soviet Union. For general fitness traditionally you can just use one, but also two. For kettle sport you use two in jerk and one in snatch. Later they put LC and you also use two...

@wakemantk It’s very hardtyleish, which will penalize you for longer sets. But it’s clear you are not new to kettlebells. The arms should have full contact with the body on the backswing, on the end of the backswing your legs should extend so you use the inertia of the bells better. The rack...

@raykay I like the ranking tables for kb sport, it’s not strength but strength-endurance. As you get through the ranks you also get freakingly fit.

@returner Military snatches. This is a 12' snatch set switching hands as you like (normally every minute) without putting it down in the whole 12'. A good target for a man is to do around 240 with a 24kg bell. Around 260 with 20kg if you want to focus more on cardio.

@sarahharpmusic The coating is much nicer than the one in 2.

@robbie0376 Talk to my coach about wanting to do cleans and he’ll prescribe you with 100 of them with 2x28 kg before a clean and jerk session 😂

@kampell More difficult than what? Are you going to shorten your arms? Don't think so, so just get at it. What causes you the pain: the clean or the press? Cleans are technique, press also (well, with an extra of strength required). Worry less about things you can't control like your body...

@ant0099 The 1/2 body weight is with 1 (gigantic) bell or with 2? Never cared to investigate but I’m curious!

@ramen That’s amazing!

@jeanniedot True! I misread it. I have just checked that they calculate shipping costs at checkout, in my case when I wrote down my address they charge me 13,6€ for shipping a set of 20's. Still not bad, huh? It makes 172,28€ for the set of 20s, while in kbk you pay just short of that for a...

@jeanniedot The thing is that I live in Germany, so shipping would theoretically be included. I’ll ask about shipping costs to Switzerland, of course if you need a place close to Munich to ship them I have absolutely no problem with storage space, just let me know.

So, really thinking about making the family a bit bigger and getting the 2nd set of competition kettlebells. My first ones are from kettlebellkings and given the (little or none) competency we have in Europe, I was about to pull the trigger. Then I found the kettlebells that the German...
