For me, the monster bells highlight the potential of kettlebell training to those who are new to it, especially when someone who is very well-conditioned can demonstrate advanced moves (Oliver Quinn or Levi Markwardt spring to mind straightaway). So for a specially outfitted facility, that likes to do collaborations to keep its audience motivated and engaged, and you are located in a place where you're not killed by shipping costs, then they can be a decent investment at some stage. For everyone else, likely they just won't be used enough to justify the expense. Great video, keep up the great work!
With Kettlebells, I like to elevate my feat, so that the grip is as low as or lower than a Barbell. My goal is to be able to One-hand Swing over 48kg. I'd love to be able to Get-up over 48kg too.
I have always used kb as my supplement to the power lifts for more mobility and muscle work without the full systemic stress like barbells cause. Big kb just came as a result naturally and now high reps with a pair of 60lbs is my “cardio” and go to when I’m at home.
New York Barbell Corporation sold monster kettlebells 2007. They sold 100,125,150,175,200 pound. They no longer make them. I have 2 of each. They are nice for farmers walks and high rep deadlifts. I can goblet squat the 200. Swing the 200. I am over 40. I can also clean and jerk 315lbs so i am not your everyday person. For those wondering, a 315 lb clean and jerk seems like a lot but i am in the 89 kilo weight class and the world masters record is 360lbs. So i am not even close.
I really think anything beyond the 32kg is just a waste of money that would be better directed at a barbell set up. I mean if you can do the big six with 32s it’s time to move to a different form of training imo.
@@Bowhuntingskills If you want to press large weight its just more effectively done with a barbell. I am in the camp with Dan John that heavy get ups aren't right for most people and the risk FAR out weighs the reward.
@drunknnirish in some ways I don't disagree but then I consider 40kg a fairly easy load for getups. There is much to be said for kettlebell presses over barbells due to the differences in the way the weight moves. I find my shoulders feel better with kettlebell overheard movements.
Awesome/honest take thank you coach Luka
This is a great video. Thank you

I'm pretty happy with two 20's. If I exhaust my possibilities with them, I'd rather buy two 24's than any single of equal weight.
An absolutely logical & honest take on this topic/issue!
Kudos!
Thank you! Always the best explanations!
I have 2 50s and an 80 (lbs) on the way. Should keep me occupied for a few years.

I think they are good for teaching a deadlift if there is one at the gym. Otherwise my largest at home is 48

Nah, pressing the beast is a great aim. Or pressing double 40s. 32kg is intermediate at best especially in getups
