kettlebell

Full disclosure, I posted a similar question in r/ bodyweight fitness TLDR: Given deconditioned status and level of being overweight, should I stick with KB work I can do now (the giant, KB workout snacks, etc), or do the bodyweight fitness recommended routine, knowing that it will be a LONG...

This past weekend, I completed Geoff Neupert's Easy Muscle program. I started by journey back to health with Noom at the first of this year and lost 40lbs. Easy Muscle was the next step for me. I opted for Schedule B which is a 3 day/week schedule, alternating between KB (C&P/FS), and Bodyweight...

Some of you may have heard of Josh Bryant, coach and author of Jailhouse Strong, amongst many other titles. Jailhouse Strong, as the name suggests, dives into methods used by inmates to stay fit and gain strength with minimal equipment. One of the methods he discussed is the “Juarez Valley...

In much of Neupert's programming (and others too but this comes to mind first), the prescribed starting weight might be say 10RM (taking this as an example without going into specifics) and then the rep ranges are very low say 4-5-6 reps per set in a wave. Now that would make the effort per set...

Joe said yesterday on his pod that he does not do bicep specific exercises yet his bis are massive. What kb exercises likely contribute to this or is it his genetics? And yes I know he takes testosterone but that still absolutely requires working out.

Hi, y’all. I’ve got a set of two heavy bells that are too much for overhead work, and too heavy for me to clean, but I’d like to use them for lower body and core exercises. So far I’ve got: -Deadlifts -Sumo deadlifts -Suitcase lifts -Staggered lifts, with one on each side of the front leg...

Dry fighting weight noob question here, on Day 1 when doing ladders am I doing: 1 clean and press, rest and 1 front squat, rest Then 2 clean and press, rest and 2 front squat, rest and keep climbing the ladder till 30 mins is up? Having difficulty visualizing the workout. Any thoughts or...

I’ve been barbell lifting, starting from scratch, for about a year. My routine includes overhead press and bench press, along with dead lifts squats. I’ve made decent progression, with a caveat that I’ve had to hold off on overhead press and benchpress for the last two months due to shoulder...

Hi guys, I am new into kettlebells. I’m 25, 193cm (6’3 ish I guess) and 88kg (195lbs). I am generally speaking in a decent shape. I make around 8,5-9k steps daily. Before pandemic I used to weight 65kg (143lbs). During lockdown I trained with barbells and dumbbells for like 6-7 months and got to...

I’ve restarted Simple & Sinister after a nine month layoff due to injury. Before the layoff I was close to achieving Simple, with a 32k swing and a consistent 28k Turkish getup which occasionally hit 32k. Then I pulled a muscle in my back from a bad swing and quit kettlebells for 9 months...

It's tiresome to say the least that almost everyone who comes here is told to do S&S. Even people who can already lift weights proficiently and want to supplement other training are prescribed the same thing. It's also patronising to insist someone follows a program. If a person wants to...

Have any of you had high blood pressure issues from KB use? I’ve trained with KB’s since 2003, and never had issue with the original program minimum, ETK/ROP, or S&S. This past year I switched to this protocol...

In no way mean to be mean or say that I know better, but want to express my cultural shock. I see that most of yall doing 2 kettlebells at the same time and to me, coming from Soviet school of kettlebell, it seems a bit "weird" as I was taught that a kettlebell is a single arm thingy. Also...

I'm trying to mark my progress against various ranking tables (KB sport) but alas, competition for men are two-handed and these days getting kettles is hard, so I only have one per weight. How (approximately) to compare/guess my say 5 minute 2H jerk count based on either my 2.5 2 (L+R) minutes...

Hey guys! If you like to train with bells, go check my new Youtube channel "Hells Kettlebells"! I will be posting as consistently as possible and hope you will enjoy :) Dont forget to subscribe and like for more videos to come!

Been powerlifting for a while now, and I’m looking to switch to home workouts. Unfortunately my gym moved and there’s nothing good around me for alternatives. I’m looking into getting 2-40lbs, and 1-80lb kettlebells. Any suggestions on weight recommendations, or things that are necessities when...

Hi all. I’m 5’8, 175 lbs, 26 yo. Trying to get better general fitness with emphasis on strength and improving conditioning. Here’s what I’m planning: 3 day rotation: Day 1: traditional DFW complex (C/P + KBFS) Day 2: Pull Ups + Farmer’s Carry (same ladder sequence as DFW) Day 3...

I have been following along with some Youtube KB workouts (mostly tabata), which have follow-along timers. Do you guys have similarly formatted workouts for follow-along? There's so much noise out there, I'm having trouble finding signal.

I've been kettlebelling for 3+ years, but my main sport is distance running (5-6 days a week, between 25-60 miles). I've run the Simple program (not Sinister yet) to go from 12kg to 20kg. I'll alternate with a month or two of including the other basics—e.g., clean 5/5 x 10; press 5/5 x10; goblet...

So I’ve been doing a pretty intuitive rep/set scheme as a way to build up my total volume of kB swings over time. I’m currently doing a pretty basic upper/lower split 3x per week and doing in swings on all my off days. I have been increasing my volume with just basic math with a goal of...
