kettlebell

Hello fellow kettlebellers, I have been working with kettlebells since around January 1. I started with a single 16kg and then stepped up to a single 20kg. I’m 34M, 5’9” - starting weight around 205lbs and I’m down to 185. Running DFW and I’m getting ready to progress to a heavier weight. Do...

Sup y'all, I am 477lbs and was 546lbs last November and I'm training 4x week Legs, Chest/Tris, Rest, Back/Bis and OHP/Shoulders, rest, rest. I go very hard when I lift, my shirt is as wet as if I jumped in a lake. I also do fairly high heavy reps. 8-12(sometimes I do more) sets per body part...

Over the past four weeks, I've committed to a rigorous kettlebell training regimen, expanding my collection to include pairs for double workouts. My focus has been on programs designed by Dan John and Geoff Neupert. During this period, my BikeErg, initially intended for Zone 2 training three or...

Got to 300 swings in a session much sooner than I thought I could :). Context: I'm 5' 8", 127lb, never did anything with weights before Feb 2022. My first form check was on March 17th, about two months ago. Started with S&S, realized I can barely do TGU with a 4kg dumb bell. But the swings...

I’ve been chopping and changing 5-8 week programs the last couple years from S&S to DFW to kB muscle. Seeking advice on anything more long term? I know S&S could be a really long stretch but unfortunately doing that many swings affects my pelvic floor. Would appreciate any advice. Thanks.

Here's my background: Male, 32, no health issues I've done the following programs/ routines: Geoff's 12-weeks MBKMP with 18 kgs Dan John's 10K swing challenge doing half the reps with an 18kg , and the other half with a 28kg (don't ask why) Some overly complex stuff combining Joe Daniel's...

I've got access to buying S&S only as an audiobook through iTunes (I have a gift card). ETK is available as an e-book. I'm leaning towards getting both, but I haven't found much commentary or review of the S&S audiobook. Has anyone here listened to it who would like to comment?

Hi, I have a16kg KB made from PVC which I find pretty big and my hands are also getting wet and slippery throughout the workout so I'm looking for a new KB. Which on of the below do you suggest (1or 2)...

Hey! So mini milestone today. After getting my first 16kg kettlebell in Jan having heard Pavel on Joe Rogan I decided completing Simple would be my 2020 goal. Won’t get it by end of year but damn close. I’ve been mostly sticking to the plan in the book, meaning increasing difficulty (an extra 2...

Looking for advice on my Long Cycle (sport style) technique. this is really only the fourth or fifth time I have tried it and I know I am still getting a lot of hard style bleeding in. This is after a hard full body work out of sandbags, ABCS, calisthenics, and mace work, and even then I feel...

I just completed sinister with the 32kg bell. Do you guys think it's a reasonable idea for me to do the 10,000 swing challenge with a 16 kg bell? I plan to stick with it throughout the challenge to avoid injuries. Has anyone done it?

Hello! I’m a newbie to kettlebells and I have a few questions. I’m halfway through reading simple and sinister and I’m really keen to get stuck in. I have an 8kg kettlebell (I’m a woman). Im just wondering how I might work Simple and sinister around some other goals I have. I’d like to work...

A little inspiration for those of us that are slightly older. 42 year old Tactical Barbell athlete (/r/tacticalbarbell) and college professor /@littlemisssunshine05-Madd does Apex Hills for 15 rounds with the Beast. Apex is typically done with a much shorter sprint and a steeper hill. J-Madd's...

I know it might sound like a dumb question to ask but… Do you guys re-clean the bells when you clean and press or just do 1 clean and press accdg to the ladder count? And what is the difference of re-cleaning and only cleaning once?

I have a few favorite workouts I follow along, and wanted to know yours. I prefer videos that have timers, where you train together with the presenter in real-time. Tough Mudder workout: Inga in Dubai workout:

Hello everyone! The more I read about the right weight for my first kettlebell(s), the more uncertain I become. That's why I'd rather ask for individual advice here. About me: I am 1.79m and weight 80kg. After a very long absence from sport, I have now started exercising again and am looking...

I really enjoy doing double cleans, but find it’s normally only used in workouts as a means to an end - C&P, C&J, getting to rack etc. Is there any clean-dominant workouts that I could look to do? Currently 3 weeks into King-sized killer and the pure volume of snatches is leading me to look...

Hey so iam 115kg 185cm 30-25%body fat (in calorie deficit rn to recomp) Somehow developed huuuge interest in KB last week after 2 months of body building and ordered a 12kg KB as suggested online now what ? ik S&S is popular but it seems boring ( really sorry for blasphemy) something like full...

Are there any women out there who have tried S&S? What kind of strength or aesthetic changes did you experience?
