kettlebell

Hi all. I’ve just finished a cycle of RoP and I’m keen to run a snatch program. I am confused over which program is the best to run. What are the benefits of an A+A program (e.g. Q&D) versus a vO2 max program like Viking Warrior? My goals are general strength and fitness and I would like to...

I'm nearing the 20 workout mark of the 40 suggested by Pavel/Dan John and I'm loving kettlebells for being able to strength train at home. Just finished reading Easy Strength and I like it, but I'm wondering if something a bit more intense would support endurance running (half marathon) and...

Thanks to a very good suggestion I received in this community a few weeks ago, I recently started Dan John’s 10’000 swing challenge (two-handed, 24 kg/ 52.9 pounds). tl/dr: It’s a great routine! Here’s Mr. John’s original article...

Hi all. I am now moving into the second half of the 12 week Q&D program. I really love it. I previously planed to do the ROP program after that one but I decided that I firstly want to improve my snatches. I loved doing them when I was training 8 years ago in my prime. Now I want to beat my...

Long story short, I'm pretty new to kettlebell training, but just started tracking my sessions over the past week. I created a rough sheet that newbs and anyone alike can copy and re-edit as your own to track your progress over time. Sheet here -...

Sup y'all, I'm a Jiu Jitsu practitioner, alongside a kettlebell enthusiast. On top of that I squeeze these workouts into my day. With my career and WFH, I often rush into these workouts but would like to make the time at the end of the day to work on flexibility. In the morning, I wake up...

Many thanks in advance.

That’s all, it’s just a public service announcement. It’s price reduced down to $188

Looking for some advice. I'm a 28 y.o male in moderately good shape. I've been a big runner for 5+ years and typically run 25 miles a week, doing a 4, 6, 7, and 8 miler. In looking to build up my muscles I've started s and s after my runs, starting first with a 15lb kettlebell for the swings...

Hey all- I've been searching the web for something related, but can't find exactly what I'm looking for. Hoping to get some advice from those stronger and wiser than I am. I train bjj 6 days a week, about 1.5 hours every night. I've been trying to do Simple & Sinister in the morning, but have...

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.

45.5lb x2 Week 1 Week 2 Week 3 Week 4 5x 14 (70) 15 (75) 18 (90) 19 (95) 6x 12 (72) 13 (78) 14 (84) 15 (90) 4x 17 (68) 21 (84) 23 (92) 25 (100) I finished W4D3 today and managed to add 2 more sets to hit triple digits (it was almost an EMOM). I've been KBing for a little over 2 years...

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...
