@jimpncc Without actual blood pressure figures, before and after, this is a bit of a nonsense thread. I will say however that doing KB swings every hour for 8 hours a day seems like madness and a road towards injury. To me from a common sense perspective, any prolonged elevated heart activity is...

@silbo Oh man this is so confusing. :D Other guys in this thread said 24KG is a lot and that I should wait. I guess I will see how 1x 16KG is and then take it from there. :)

@silbo Thanks, good to hear from someone who is my size as that is directly relevant to me. I have just ordered 1x 16KG to start with , as it will take me some time to learn the correct form and also build all of the extra muscles that KB exercises will use. After that I will re-assess my needs...

@doctoroliver83 Thanks man I appreciate the feedback. They look like they do save space but needing to get out a wrench to change weights looks like it could be a ball ache if I need to change more than once? Also the competiton handle looks like the Decathlon one which some people were saying...

Hey guys I just got my 16KG TRX Kettlebell today, which is powder coated. First impressions are that the quality is very good, with good workmanship and no especially rough parts. It also feels much heavier than I thought it would and I can barely lift it from my hip above my head with one arm...

@arishin Hey man thanks for such a thoughtful and detailed reply, that is more than I expected. I am doing research into the adjustable ones but it seems they all have some compromises in some way vs regular KB's due to the inherent problems with using separate parts held together by something...

@arishin Thanks man I appreciate the feedback. The TRX do indeed look like decent standard bells. The price is high where I live in general for these things but it's fine for something I will keep for a long while. Do you recommend the adjustable KB's that another redditor recommended? They...

@wheels56 Hah I was watching him on Joe Rogan today, the guy is very amusing with how he talks but a lot of what he said about training (barring nutrition, lol) sounds like good common sense. I will subscribe to him on Youtube. Regarding the weights, I am surprised how heavy 16KG is...

@dawn16 Thanks man I appreciate the welcome and the feedback, I'm happy to have found them and I wish I had done this at the start of the pandemic! Still, better late than never. :) Decathlon ones do indeed look weird with the handles and not so ergonomic for some exercises and I am happy you...

Hi guys. I am about to add kettlebells to my home workout routine and have been doing some reading. My questions are: I am 5ft 9 / 178cm and 66KG / 145lbs with 'decent' arm/upper body muscle from push ups and weighted (70KG total) pull ups during the pandemic. Would a 16KG and 24KG be the...
