    What to add/change for this workout?

    Hi kettlebell people, I am loving this following workout that I am doing 1/2 times a week. Do you think there is room to improve, I already do a lot of carries with 32/40kg because they rock. The workout: First 24 minute HIIT 40/20 (so 4 rounds of the circuit). Based on: 6 Kettlebell Moves...

    Don’t know starting weight to buy

    I’m looking to buy my first set of kettlebells and I’m not sure what weight to start with. I’m 24 years old 6’0” 200lbs I’ve worked out for a while before this but been off for about a year and half and I wanna get fit and healthy again. I think my strength is pretty average, maybe slightly...

But am watching some double kettlebell workouts lately...

    Best Plate Loaded Pin for 2 Hand KB Swings?

    I don't have huge hands so I think this must be a pretty normal thing, but I can't fit my pinky fingers in the window of a competition bell for 2-handed swings and I don't like putting my pinky fingers outside the horns or pointed straight on top of the horns. I don't want to buy a bunch of...

    1 v 2 arm swings (shoulder issues)

    I separated my right shoulder in a mountain biking crash about 10 years ago and it's caused me issues on and off ever since. I do swings and TGU 3 times a week as per S&S, normally straight after a 2.5-3.5 mile trail run. I also run tactical barbell operator with a squat, ohp and pullup cluster...

    Anyone running Dan Johns 8-week ABC Bodybuilding Program?

    Bought Dan John’s ABC bodybuilding book. I’m currently running the 8 week program. Seen some good results even only 2 weeks in. For context I’ve been training my whole life 2-3 times a week so I come from a somewhat solid foundation. I’m running this cycle with 28kg total with mix weight...

    Just finished the 10k swing challenge

    Lost about 10lbs, rear posterior chain and forearms bulked up a bit. Super monotonous workouts. I just did 20x25 with a 70lb kettlebell. I suggest podcasts lol. Workouts went from a gassed 45min to 28. ~55 reps added (squat, renegade row with push up) I feel great, I’m going to stay with...

    Thinking about a Double Kettlebell Deadlift Basket

    I have 12,16, 20 and 24 kg bells and I have been starting to work on deadlifts. You quickly get used to the 24kg and move on to different sized bell in each hand and that just feels awkward even after 2 weeks. I googled kettlebell basket and it did not appear. Here is my dream. A metal basket...

    Running the Giant program- C+P or push press/jerk?

    I'd like to ask a question for those with a lot more experience/educational background than myself. I've been running the Giant 1.0 and finished up recently, about to start up 1.1 now, but I've noticed the programs creator Geoff Neupert said he made the program a C+P program because americans...

    S&S question. 5 minutes for swings or 1:1 rest?

    At numerous points in Simple and Sinister, it says the goal for the swings is 10 sets in 5 minutes with a 1:1 work to rest ratio. Those things aren't equal. It takes me 20 seconds to do 10 swings. That takes 200 seconds, if I rest for 20 seconds between sets that's 180 seconds. That's...

    Day 1 of 10000 Kettlebell swing challenge

    M55 200 lbs 5 feet 9 - "cuddly" Finally decided to tick this off my list - I got 60% through in the first two weeks in January this year but then life got in the way. I have a holiday scheduled in 25 days time so will be doing 20 sessions of 500 before then. Taking it slow - no need to rush...

    What upper body muscles would be targeted in this workout?

    I have a torn labrum in my shoulder that is inoperable. Halos have been a huge benefit for mobility and strength, but I’m having a hard time targeting my chest. All pushing movements are essentially a no-go. Anyone have any ideas or use a variation of this exercise before?

    Clean&Press vs DC&J

    What would bring the best returns, heavy double clean and presses or heavy double clean and jerk? I haven’t messed around with the jerk yet, but people say it might be the king too building muscle and strength from kettlebells.. Thoughts?

    Managing KB workouts and the gym?

    Hey everyone, Had a bit of a hiatus on here. Had some knee pain I had to work through, but I've been back to working out with KBs, and my gym membership unfroze from when my daughter was born and I moved to just doing garage workouts. I'd like to get back into the gym since I love the social...

    what does the community think of exercises like these?

    I'm fairly new to kettlebells and am looking to maybe introduce them around an existing Calisthenics program that I do. Primarily focussing on swings and some hinge movements and some isolation work. To research kbs I've been lurking on this forum as well as checking YouTube and the like. This...
