kettlebell

Howdy y'all. Long time lurker, first time poster here. Seeing all your posts gives me so much motivation. This is genuinely the most wholesome community on Reddit. For reference, I'm 30M, 80 kg. After several rounds nds of DFW, ROP, and the wolf at 12 kg, I came back to S&S in May. Started at...

Sup squad, haven’t posted in a while, hope everyone’s doing well (I see we’ve got some new posters too). I see Geoff has released a new program called easy muscle, I’m curious if anyone has purchased it and what your thoughts are? If it’s anything like his other programs I’m sure it’s...

30 y.o. woman, 5'5" 135 lbs. I just started training again after having to take a lot of time off for a hip injury. It's been about 3-4 weeks of CONSISTENT kettlebell workouts I'm training 3x a week, plus walking 3-6 miles a day (3 days when I train, 5-6 when I don't train) I'm not doing...

I’ve been in an awkward spot since quarantine trying to own the press w/ my 24kg. I had done Soju & Tuba & feel comfortable pressing for a 3RM but can’t get more than that & honesty am burned out on doing more gtg. I thought I’d try ROP & just “tested” my 16kg & easily did the qualifying...

tl;dr Not sure how to incorporate daily(ish) KB swings into standard weightlifting routines like PPL, Upper/Lower, Bro, etc 52 y.o. male, 6', 175 lb. Goals are primarily aesthetic and being fit and limber as I age. I've been lifting off and on for 10 years and for the past 18 months pretty...

First and foremost, I know this isn’t a diet community, but there are people on here with a wealth of knowledge. Second, it should be noted that I will be living quasi-off grid during this 4-week period; limited access to refrigeration and cooking methods. With that said, what is a good macro...

What’s good! So I’ve had double 18kg comps for about 6-7 months now. Been doing double work and, of course, single arm. I honestly enjoy 1KB workouts more (they do add more time to workouts though) but I do appreciate the load benefit and stimulus that doubles provide. I ran DFW and was grateful...

I’ve been doing Dan Johns Armor building complex for a while as my warm up / daily minimum workout but to break up the monotony I came up with a twist on it that I thought my be fun to share. Basically it’s the same idea of: 2 Cleans 1 Press 3 Squats & EMOM but the rep numbers shift over on the...

I want to try new cardio variation. But After I watched some videos. It make me confused. Is kattlebell swing really Cardio or not? If it is actually a cardio then. How much weight should I use as a beginner? I search it and find it is recommended to use 12 kilogrammes for male as a beginner...

I finished 10 weeks of Wildmans pu/swings/tgu and squats/c&p using heavy/ light. My light bell was 20lbs and my heavy 14kg. I just got an adjustable BoS and am waiting for the 2nd to arrive. I'm fine to nerdmath it out and start with 5-6 rounds. What would a good jump be for light and heavy...

Hello All, Wall of text incoming. I have been training consistently with kettlebells since April. Now I'm at the point where some helpful advise would be much appreciated. To summarize my journey so far, I spent 6 months going through a self-made program. Starting from simply getting a feel...

Mark Wildman and Dan John talk about the J shape that the KB's travel as they are pressed overhead from the rack position. Am I understanding this right: the KB's travel out slightly wider during the first part of the press? Is there a good video online that breaks this further?

I had a chance this past week to spend some time swimming in a larger body of water than I normally have access too, and I discovered that swimming a backstroke feels like an excellent remedy for my typical hunched over desk posture - the long pull with the back muscles, and the reaching up and...

Some of you might remember my post from January. We are about 6 months since I made the post and wanted to provide you all with an update. The Numbers: Weight: 240.7lbs -> 206.9lbs Body Fat: 39% -> 30.9% BMI: 33.9 -> 29.7 Visceral Fat: 20 -> 12 Diet: I’m going to try to keep this brief...

66 y.o m in good health. I was an early adapter of kbs (active on early DD forum, IGx, attended Mike Mahler and Steve Cotter seminars), got out of it but walked, rowed, and did resistance band regularly. I got back to the bells this year. Completed DFW and the Wolf with 16's. I'll finish the...

I'm just going to leave this right here...we'll all cry later and start using lighter bells...

Sup y'all, Looking to buy a program to use for the next two months to do alongside regular BJJ training. Currently own: 30lb - 2 40lb - 1 50lb - 1 60lb - 1 65lb - 1 Any recommendations? Looking to only use body weight, resitance bands and kettlebells.

During swings, cleans, and snatches I feel like my junk slaps around a lot.

I'm hoping to get some help with my programming. I can currently military press a single 28 x 5 strict reps, and strict military press 2 x 24s for 6 strict reps (I can do 9 strict clean and press with the 2 x 24s I guess because my shoulders get a micro rest during the clean portion?) My goal...
