kettlebell

I know that performance varies from person 2 person, but am curious on what KB weight and how many rounds are people getting on single and double days? I'm running this with about 15 guys at 5:45am outdoors in Cary, NC. We are putting the bells down after the last press and re-cleaning before...

Finale... I dreaded today. I'm not sure what I'll do next. I have personal goals that aren't related to kettlebells necessarily, so the kettlebells may get relegated to an accessory for a few months. That said, I did order a 62# kettlebell from Rogue this morning... I'm planning on using it for...

I tried some pullovers and they hurt my back. So yeah, I understand it was wrong form. What are some key points to activate the core and not use your back? Also what would be some things to alleviate the pain. It's been going on for about a week now since I did the pullovers. I've still been...

I’m an experienced lifter, but new to kettlebells! Will most workouts use 1 kettlebell or 2? This is probably a dumb question (2 is the obvious answer) but I’m super tight on money. Thanks!

I did 25 minutes of snatches (16 kg) this morning. It almost killed me, but it was awesome. I use a 15 sec. work/ 15 sec. rest protocol. So that was 400 snatches (16 kg) in 25 minutes this morning (speed = 8 per 15 sec.) (8 snatches, 15 sec. rest, alternate hands). I now consider myself having...

Hey folks, Not sure if I missed something in S&S or what, but I'm looking to test out of 24kg at the moment to move up. Apart from actually doing the exercises with proper form in the time requirements specified, are there other factors needed to pass the test? Should it be "easy"? Or does...

I've decided to use Pat Flynn's MT Inferno workout as my monthly progress check. Its a ladder , 2 X 2h swings, 2 X 1h swings, 2 X snatches, 2 X thrusters, 2 X bent over row, 2 X press up. Next round is 4 of each and so on up to 10 and the back down again. You can rest as much as you need...

Im a strength coach as well as a dietitian BUT totally new to kettlebells To set myself a goal I’d like to have some input from the experienced kettlebell peeps here What’s a decently strong (not elite) strict press for a 80Kg male ? Currently I’m pressing my 16Kg bell for about 8-10 clean...

I will be mainly doing these excercise videos. I saw most were recommending 12kg or 16kg to start with, but considering are these still the ideal weight in my case? If it helps, I'm 5'8, 155 pounds as of the moment. I swim 5 times a week at 20 minutes, moderate pace. I've hit a plateu with...

High volume session today. Phone died and lost the recording. Total of 10’ in 4 sets with 1/1 work/rest ratio. I did 7,7,7,8 - 8,8,8 - 8,8 - 10. Total 79 reps. I got the 7’ test end of this week and 10’ test in 2 weeks. I guess with this volume I should be aiming for 5-6 rpm for the 7’ and 10’ sets.

Hey everyone, Here’s my situation: I’m in my late 30s New dad (5 months in) Not new to exercise. I’ve always been relatively fit. I’ve lifted weights, done some distance running, and played sports. My main sport these days is tennis Main goals include all around fitness, stay injury free, and...

I have an adjustable competition kettlebell at the moment. I love using it and don’t want to replace it, but add another element. I have one small issue with it, When I do 2 handed swings. I have to rest my pinkies on the horns because I can’t get my hands to fit on the handle fully. I’m...

Some days I don't feel like working out, and for those days I have an "easy to get started" workout. It is a workout that feels accessible, simple, easy to get started; it doesn't feel as discouraging or as complicated as a full workout. And it has to be easy to setup. Even if it has been a...

Hello, I am back. Since I cannot edit my original post (after edit post gets too long) - I created new one. Initial post with initial mindset and weeks 1-4 can be found here: This post will consist of week 5-8 of EE. -----------------------------------------------WEEK...

This morning I did: A1. Get up 3/3 2/2 1/1 (12 kg) A2. Snatch 6/6 8/8 10/10 (12 kg) Rest 60s (alternating get ups and snatches, so 3L 3R get ups, 6L 6R snatches etc) B. Clean-squat-push press (5/5) x 5 (10 kg) C. Squat jump 10 x 3 (no weight) I’m beginning to not be sore after my workouts. If...

Hello ladies and gents, Starting up Pavel’s S&S again after nearly 3 years of Pavel’s Naked Warrior training (just felt like changing it up). Curious if any of y’all know the reason why he doesn’t want this workout to be a circuit? I’ve done circuit training for nearly every single form of...

New to KB. I'm playing around with circuits but also want to sit down and build a solid weekly daily routine. Now I just have to figure out what's best, circuits with set reps ( so say 3 circuits with 5 exercises and 10 reps of each) vs. 1 circuit where I do each exercise for 30s to 1m and then...

So...I recently finished the Simple standard from S&S and was looking for a way to change it up, so started the snatch program from Q&D which I highly recommend. My plan is to stick with Q&D for about 8 weeks, then go for the Sinister standard. I’m a little concerned I will lose the progress I...

What the title says. I had fun doing it, and will likely run a version of it again for my upper body and fit in my new 60 kg strongman sandbag I just bought (hasn't even arrived yet) for my lower body. I'd love to know what you guys think of the progress and how you'd incorporate the sandbag...
