advice needed

New to KB. I'm playing around with circuits but also want to sit down and build a solid weekly daily routine. Now I just have to figure out what's best, circuits with set reps ( so say 3 circuits with 5 exercises and 10 reps of each) vs. 1 circuit where I do each exercise for 30s to 1m and then...

I read through the DFW program, but I would like clarification on a few things. Day 1 is ladder 1, 2, 3. Does that mean I do one clean, press, squat, and then take a break? Then, I do another CPS backed by another CPS from a long cycle clean. Or are they dead cleans? Also, is it C,C P,P S,S...

I am a master's student in kinesiology. As part of my culminating project, I am creating a few activity classes the university could adopt and offer as part of its curriculum. The following is a bit lengthy but for those who get to the end and offer feedback, I truly thank you. This sub is...

M, mid 40s, 185lb, 6' I ran DFW twice, from 18s to 21s, then ran the Giant 3.0 with 24s. I tested the 24s at 5RM, but this was just the press, not clean and press. I ran the Giant 3.0 with the 24s for four weeks, then took a light deload week and tested at 7RM for the C+P. I figure my 10RM now...

Just curious at what size do most hardstyle bells equal the size of a comps bell? I’m just talking about the body not the handle obviously thanks

Edit: I found my answer ala these two posts From Reddit From Strong First _______________________________________________________________________________ Hey r/kettlebell! I've always been a bit of a nerd and struggled with being underweight. However, after making some lifestyle changes and...

Hi fellow kettlebellers! I would like to hear some perspectives regarding combination and integration of KB and clubbell training in your regimen. Some of my background: I'm doing KB for 2,5 years now. My focus now is mainly C&P, squats and swings. After some ABC to get used to the weight...

ok, so I have always had an issue with my weight, and have attempted to go to the gym before. I once lost 45 pounds, but have since gained 30-ish back. i’m a therapist, so I sit all day. I also live an hour away from work. so i’m gone about 50 hours a week. my wife and I also have 2 kids (a 3...

Hi all, giving DFW a shot. I don't have two bells of the same size so I'm using a single: 16kg, which is a little light, but I can't even press the 24kg once with my non-dominant hand. Plan is to finish the program with a single as I save for one of those fancy adjustable bells, then try it with...

I've just finished my first ever cycle of D.F.W. with double 24kgs and increased my max C&P from 6 reps to 10 reps with that weight. My question is what would be the best program to do next? I've purchased The Giant series from Geoff Neupert's site and could start with the 1.0 now that I'm at a...

I've always done snatches with a grip on the handle where my thumb is pointing backward. This allows me to perform a more rotational motion on the way up (which lessens the impact on my forearms). But I've recently seen lots of folks on social media doing snatches with thumbs facing forward...

Hi! I’m in a rut and am looking for something help me shed about 20lbs without affecting my muscle gains of the last year and a half. I love kettlebells but have never done a program that focused on them exclusively. I usually just pick a few exercises and kinda do a HIIT type thing with a...

I realize this may be a stupid question, but you guys are very knowledgeable on these topics and will probably set me straight, so here I go: I started the Wolf program this week (M, W, F) and Day 3 was definitely more taxing than the other 2 days. For my "off" days (T, Th), I'm actually doing...

Hi All, Aften being a long time lurker, i finally post on this great Forum. I’m about to begin on my first DFW and have hence some questions. C&P rm while being ill and did 11 rm with 20 kg and 3 rm with 24 kg. Should i go with the 24 kg or the 20 and adjust the ladder to say 3/5/7 ? FSQ rm...

Pavel makes it clear that these programs are not meant to be done concurrently, but why? I understand the recovery demands are higher for Q&D, but for instance, what about 2 days Q&D and 2 days S&S?

I've been working on this program for the past weeks and it's going quite well: https://www.strongfirst.com/minimalist-kettlebell-training-for-maximal-returns-in-bjj/ on the get-up heavy days, the program asks for a partial to elbow or hand, I do the hand one. I was looking to this video on...

Just ordered the 28kg to train this summer, probably I should have just ordered 20kg but I wanted just one for now… someone says it’s too much while someone else says “just buy the 32kg trust me”. I Thought the 28kg is a nice kb to have and train, my info: 1.80cmX105kg , a bit overweight but I...

Hi all-- This subreddit has been really inspiring and I want to thank everyone for the posts they've shared showing off their skills, forms, and dedication. I lifted a bit for a while, gained weight during covid and fell out of practice, and over the last year have been slowly getting back into...

Probably answered this question a million times and for that I am sorry. I’m starting a program on Monday that calls for Kettlebell Swings 4x15. I’m going to buy 2 bells today and need to choose wisely for my wife and I. I am male, 36 y/o, 6’0 tall, 182lbs. Goal is strength and conditioning. I...

Looking for a good 3 day kettlebell program for women :)
