    Minimalist program

    Hey guys! Pretty new to kettlebell exercising so i only own one kettlebell. I’m very much a minimalist when it comes to training so I want my workout to consist of two, max three, exercises. One of them is for sure the kettlebell swing (two handed atm due to me only owning one kettlebell) but...

    Hi kettlebellers, I'm a 50y M who's been training consistently for a little over a year. I've generally been running a program for about 6-8 weeks before moving to a new program.

    Two years of Mark Wildman's Nerd Math / Tetris of Training

    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...

    My next program

    I just finished doing 5x(1,2,3,4,5) ladders with the 32kg. My pressing program came from the Rite of Passage from Enter the Kettlebell. I have to say that program delivers. I have run through it twice now: once with the 28kg and once with the 32kg. Both times have helped me to find leakages in...

    Dry Fighting Weight (Single Bell) Questions

    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...

My experience with kettlebells I've successfully completed Geoff's 12 week program a while ago with two 18 kg kettlebells.

    Step up snatch for forefoot training?

    I train with kettlebells so I can hike better. I have learned over the years that more muscles means more enjoyment when hiking. But I have noticed that kettlebells and barbells don't really train the forefoot very well. I really need to get a box and do step ups. They just seem so boring and I...
