Kettlebell Training

I can do snatches but shoulder doesn't like it too much It's weird, single arm presses are the worst. I can actually SOHP with a BB ok now.

single arm presses are the worst for me too, still. Despite having made amazing progress to gain strength parity for both shoulders. Left still lags a bit but only marginally for everything (and is better on some). But for SAPress.... humiliation time...
 
One I tried today

5 Rounds (I like these ones)

20 KB Swings
15m Farmers Walk
10 Burpees
15m Farmers Walk (back to start)

Arms felt like lead afterwards!

lol hmmm i know that when my allergies slow down and i get a nice sunny day, the temptation to go for a run/sprint will be overwhelming.
I may not say anything to my trainer ...
 
Just sold all my kettle bells on eBay, never really got into them, prefer my dumbbells and barbells.
 
For the detractors who still think the kettlebells don't help with strength ... it does, and it develops strength efficiency too.

Ivan Denisov. Top KB competitor in WKC.

Doesn't train deadlifts.

and this! 90kg KB jerks for 10 reps ...

I don't think anyone doubted they'd make you stronger (or have the potential to)

Improving KB strength is still pretty specific to improving KB strength though (surprise surprise lol)
 
I like em personally.

Great for general conditioning.
No doubting it.

Looking forward to trying the 1000 swings a day thingo too.
 
whats a good weight to get to start doing kettlebell training ?

16kg ?

Looking at getting one for morning/evening and weekend workouts.

Is it also worth getting a light one for high reps ?

Didn't keep dumbells or weights last time I moved - was rather stupid
 
Id probably get one of those adjustable ones lex. That way you can toy with different movements - id say your kb swings, kb snatches and kb udl's would all be different weight. Then if you like you can expand your collection.

I sound like such a salesman
 
Try with a 16kg bell.
You may also find 20kg won't be far off either for some exercises.
You will find you probably won't need a smaller KB. My husband doesn't touch anything under 20kgs.
Food for thought.
