@mentallydiseasedapostate Heavy duty plastic milk crate with some towels to pad the bottom and sides is an excellent replacement for the original boxes your kettlebells came in. You can probably put both 20 and 12 in it for easy transportation.

@mentallydiseasedapostate Get a milkcrate and some towels. That's how I transport kettlebells, it keeps them from rolling around.

@lostanlooking The super beast is fun! Best part: got it for $200 on fb marketplace and it was only a 20 min drive. Someone left it when they moved out of an apartment and the next renter could barely lift it. I keep checking fb marketplace for more monster KBK bells but I don't think it will...

@wordsinthewater I don't know... I really like my 92 kg cast iron kettlebell.

@pearlgrl13 I did S&S for several months when I first got into kettlebell training and I never timed my sessions. I would rest until I felt ready to go with the next set. At the end I was doing all 100 swings one handed and 10 getups with the 40 kg. I did 3-4 sessions a week. Timeless is the...

@andy0 If you can press the 28 x 5, you should be very close to being able to press the 32 x 1. Hence why Zsolt might be a good fit for you, right now. If you look at the first 3 weeks of the ZD plan you'll see it's mostly just pressing the 28 and the 24, anyway. RoP will definitely solidify...

@andy0 It couldn't hurt. You might be ready for the Zsolt Derzsi Plan to get your press up to 40. For doubles you could try Soju and Tuba. There's also the Outer Limits program by Joe D aka swingthiskettlebell, and even though I haven't tried it (yet) it looks very promising.

@andy0 I prefer single arm pressing, as I find my recovery is better. I also started getting a lot more shoulder pain from double pressing, but that's just me and my shitty mobility and weak shoulders. From personal experience, single arm pressing carried over to double. I increased my single...

@namelessempire87 This was my go to for running the Outer Limits Protocol: :D

@inspiringmedia No real reason. I found that if I was stuck and wasn't progressing, I could add more sets to build volume that way, but usually 3 was just about right. Plus with warm up sets and other lifts it didn't take super long.

@inspiringmedia I use step loading progression for these. Workout 1 = 3 reps, 3 reps, 3 reps WO 2 = 3, 3, 4 WO 3 = 3, 4, 4 WO 4 = 4, 4, 4 Then I repeat until 5, 5, 5. Then I go up in weight and drop back to 3, 3, 3. Depending on how I'm feeling, I might fail to get the extra rep that...

@kampell Will you have more difficulty compared to someone who has shorter arms and better levers for lifting? Yes. Can you do anything about it? Yes and no. You can't get better levers. You can get stronger though. I also say this as a 6'6" dude with +2" ape index. I thought I was too tall to...

@cavitill Ok, you can't drop this bomb on me and not share some more info. Is there any YouTube videos available with more info on Karlakattai (I realize you said there's limited content, but I'll take whatever is available).

@lwoods I found that a heavier single press PR made my double press go up significantly. Outer Limits protocol or the One bell program. More details from Joe here on Outer Limits

@andrewjacksonjihad I don't lift, I do other active stuff like walk, jog, hike, or play volleyball. If I'm feeling really beat up I will do even less, maybe just go for walks and stretch.

@chou91 Not sure how much information you're going to get from the kb sub about clubs (I know there are people that do both) but it might be worth asking in the /r/clubbells sub as well. I think maybe move the clubbell to just 1 day a week to start, but add some swings at the start of all the...

@neptune21 "The day you started lifting is the day you became forever small, because you will never be as big as you want to be" - Dom Mazzetti. In the past, I've been bigger and stronger then I am now. I've been more shredded. I've been able to run a lot further and faster, too. But that's ok...

@dallaskay How to gain muscle: workout with heavy weights and make your body adapt to heavier and heavier weights How to lose bodyfat: eat less food, make your body use bodyfat as fuel While it's possible to do both at the same time, I would avoid, as it's nearly impossible in practice. Both...

@dassark Your assessment of the weight differences is correct. The SF video has a kb that's twice the weight of Mark's, and it's also a larger diameter since it's a cast iron. This means the center of mass is different than a smaller (weight and size) comp bell. His arm will no longer be...
