    Giant question

    I have been doing s&s for 2 months now and love it. Was thinking of going giant ever other day just to spice up my life. That’s fine right? Right now I’m doing s&s with single arms (25 a side) and tgu on a 13.5 kg kb. I’m 6 ft/180 lbs. what size do y’all recommend I do for giant?

    Waving Density: Turn any complex into a conditioning program

    There are some tables in here to illustrate the principles. Feel free to skip past them. Motivation I’m bad at freestyling rest times. I need a timer, or I’ll just sit around for minutes, regardless of how easy the set was. Too much thinking, to little doing. The main sources of inspiration...

    Tool for lifting multiple bells w/ each hand?

    Anyone recommend a product to help lift multiple heavy bells with each hand for farmers carriers? Like a hand grip attached to a heavy-duty clip or strap? I remember someone here once using a bike lock, but the brand was a bit pricey (especially for two). Thanks in advance!

    Unsure on how to progress with C&P and squat

    Background: I've recently completed Dry Fighting Weight (plus swings and TGUs), and Geoff Neupert's 12 week kettlebell muscle-building Master Plan, with great results. Over the course of five months: My press has progressed from 3 shaky reps with a single 24 to 10 solid reps with double 24s. My...

    Moving. No car. How the f do I take my 20kgb& 12kg kettlebells out?

    I dont have a car and since the distance won’t be excessive, I’m probably getting a cab. But I don’t have the original boxes they came in. Should I just shove them in my laundry bag?

    Switching to KB program from body weight exercises

    Form check time!

    So instead of eating a pie, today I decided to burn one! Stepped up to 32 kg this week so I'm 2H that pig until i get the feels right. I can already tell a huge difference in stability needed for this one. Gonna be with this bell awhile, I'm sure! Still focusing on driving through the elbow...

    What’s the natural progression from single arm C&J?

    What’s your all’s experience with progressing from a single bell to doubles? I’ve been doing C&Js with a single 24kg bell for a while and am interested in stepping up a notch, but am not sure if it is better to lighten the jerk and drop to double 16s or really overload the legs and go with...

    Weekly KB program

    Hi Kettlebell lovers. Holidays are finally over, so let's start training with kettlebells. I have a pair of 16kg KBs, a pair of 20kg KBs, and a pair of 24kg KBs. I want to be consistent in my workouts, so I keep my plan here. And maybe some of you will find it useful or give some feedback on...

    Doing my own things for a month- thoughts?

    I spent the last couple months doing the Giant, and before that, a few rounds of DFW. My first workout after testing my new 10RM for double c&p, I decided to just do swings and push-ups. Man, push-ups had me sore for days. My next workout I decided to start practicing the snatch as I’d never...

    Beginner full body kb workout advice?

    I've been playing around with weightlifting and kettlebells for about 16 months and am now looking for a dedicated kb program I can do 3-5 days/week (with cardio on off days) that focuses on kettlebells (with bodyweight stuff like pullups mixed in). I'm looking to train strength and mobility and...

    C&J plus S&S?

    I've just finished Dry Fighting Weight, so I'd like to take a short break from pressing and squatting. Would it be too ambitious to run SW+TGU three times a week, and C&J twice a week on the off days? I was thinking maybe 10 sets of 3 reps with double 24s. I'm 35/M and I've been lifting...

    KG or LB

    Serious question. Some of the lighter kettlebells I got when I was starting are in kilos. But I discovered a fitness store near me that sells bells in pounds of 1.5$ per pound. Does it really matter if my bells are in Kg or in Lbs? For example 40kg = 88lbs so I would just get a 90lb bell. Let me...

    The Giant: singles and doubles differences?

    Hi all, I just purchased Kettlebell Hard, along with Kettle Express Reloaded. The program for the Giant in KER is written for a single KB, but are there any differences from the Giant as published as a double bell program? E.g. recommended KB weight(s), sets, reps, rest times ? Or can I just...

    Progression and Bell purchase ?

    Mid 50’s guy here, decent shape but still trying to improve. Recently a friend recommended KB training and have to say it’s a fantastic change from what I have been doing. I feel energized and just overall better. I have a ways to go with my fitness goals. He lent me his 12kg and 14kg until I...

    Judge My Training Plan

    Getting back into fitness after a long time away. As a new dad of two time is a premium. I enjoy running so the aim is 3 runs a week and 2 strength sessions. I've had shoulder injurys in the past (bjj) so i'm not trying to do a lot of strict press for now. I've got 2 x 24KG and 2 x 16KG KBs...

    Anti-Glycolytic Training

    It's been a few years since we last had a post about this subject. Has anyone had any success with this type of endurance training? I'm asking as someone who mainly powerlifts and bodybuilds now, but occasionally dabbles with kettlebells and athletic training, e.g. wrestling and BJJ. Ideally...

    how to calculate added weight from g-forces when swinging/jerking/snatching

    i want to know how heavy a 70lb kettlebell is at the bottom of the swing or jerk, so I know how much weight my grip strength is actually having to use to hold onto it. when you hold a kettlebell and swing it with your arm like a pendulum from front to back, an arm that's say 24 inches long...
