just a post

The majority of my exercise over the last year has been focused on KB overhead press. I picked up a barbell today for the first time since 2021. At that time I’d been working specifically on the big 4 power lifts (bench, overhead, squat, DL). Out of all of these, I expected my bench press to...

I've been practising my GS for the last couple of weeks and thought I would give the pentathlon a try. I originally planned to do the half version but thought "in for a penny in for a pound". I wanted to complete it to see where my start point was and to see where to go from here. Weights were...

If it all goes to plan I’ll finish the week of my 45th birthday. I am hoping to wake up to some advice to get me going in the morning. I don’t trust my grip to do the 10 15 25 50 x 5 rep scheme so I’m going to start with a 10 10 15 15 x 10 and hope to have the grip strength by week two for the...

Hello! First apologies, I’m sure these questions have been asked many times before, but I’m struggling to land on something to commit to. So I’m looking to workout 3 times a week, the odd time I might try fit 4, but 3 is mostly likely due to quite a busy schedule. I have 2x12kg, 1x16kg and...

Some days I don't feel like working out, and for those days I have an "easy to get started" workout. It is a workout that feels accessible, simple, easy to get started; it doesn't feel as discouraging or as complicated as a full workout. And it has to be easy to setup. Even if it has been a...

Started phase 2 which is the strength endurance phase. Ladders of 3,6,9. Twas absolutely brutal on the lungs and grip (in a good way lol). For those who have done this one, did y’all ever put the kb down before switching to the other arm? I ended up doing that for the sets of 6 and 9...

Hey everyone, I have noticed that many KB enthusiasts love programs that combine FS and C&P. I have never had success with these programs because of how much stronger my squats are compared to my press. I can FS double 32s for 5 reps easily, but I can only press double 32s for 2 reps. I have...

On October 23, 2021, I started structuring (and just as importantly, tracking) my KB workouts the way Mark Wildman suggested in his "Nerd Math" and "Tetris of Training" videos (all of which are conveniently compiled here by @fbgah). Here's how much I've progressed: October 2021 swings - 16kg...

Just wanted to share what I’m doing cuz idk anyone else who does kb workouts, but I think it’s neat and fun. I did barbell training for a long time so the self-regulated training of DFW was at first a turnoff but I needed to start SOMEthing and decided I’d give that style of training a go. I...

Just wanted to update those who care that I haven’t stopped! I see a slight difference in my arms already and also a difference in my posture. This has been really fun and i am glad i got into kettlebells. My goals are to strengthen my core and also my glutes. I know my core is weak because of...

Hey r/kettlebell! Several folks (@jwils35, @christfollower1993, @andy0, and @kanakoa) commented on one of my recent posts and suggested I consider doing a write-up of my transition from running and cycling to kettlebell training. Hope some of y’all find this helpful! I didn’t take any progress...

I've been looking for a book to dive into regarding kettlebells. I've been using them for a few years, and they've been my primary training tool for the past 2, so while I'm far from an expert I don't feel like I need a "beginner" book. I enjoyed Simple and Sinister by Pavel and I implement...

After taking a break because my hands got all torn up from girevoy endurance training I decided to try the 10K challenge. I started it a week late in January but putting in work on a weekend caught me up and I got it done! Figured I’d share since y’all know what it’s about. Here’s the break down...

Hello everyone I am posting this both in the bodyweightfitness and kettlebell subreddit. I am a fitness enthusiast and particularly love Calisthenics and Kettlebell training. I love that they both allow me to train wherever I want (just toss a pair of rings and a kettlebell in the car and I...

Hi all, longtime - first time..... I LOVE SHINY THINGS.....(sorry Brett and Geoff) I can't remember the last time I completed more than 3 or 4 weeks of a single plan without moving onto something else. Most of the time each week is actually made up by mixing different programs...

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...
