I just did the same. what we should of done is started off with kettlebells and calisthenics to build foundational strength and then powerlifting / body build but we did vice versa b/c society brain washed us. It’s crazy how far body weight and one heavy Kettlebell can go even for intermediate athletes
I was training with dumbbells for months and still felt like a lot of muscles were asleep. With just one session involving kettlebell swings my life changed. Lol i felt it in my arms, my Glutes, my hamstrings, my core, and my legs. . I also noticed my back muscles were working as opposed to just feeling pain in my lower back. Kettlebells are amazing
@@morrisboris6877thats interesting you say that because im recently learning that its important to be able to lift your own body weight and i want my body to function as well as look nice. What if my life depends on it. 😂 So i decided to make pushups and pullups a big part of my training. Thanks for the advice. I def will add more calisthenics overall
Were you doing swings before (many kettlebell exercises can be done with dumbbells too)? Maybe the new movement pattern was the gamechanger, not necessarily the kettlebell itself.
Kettlebells are great for strengthening core. I never knew something as simple as walking in a straight line with a kettlebell while maintaining correct posture could work my core so much. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
@@aintfromrounhere8099 Depends on the exercise. There are many variations of this particular exercise. The Squat University channel has a ton of great examples for core, no shade to present company. ✨👌🏾
I only use kettlebells and a hangboard and my hands, wrists, fingers forearms back and core have been in the best shape of my life. Fuck planet fitness, get some kettle bells
@@goodboi4939 if you can get a lighter weight one too, uneven suitcase carries and chaotic suitcase carries are like making your core into a brick wall
Swing, Turkish Get up is a minimum! But press, squat, snatch all brings benefits! I like the heavy floor press helping me create a strong frame! All push - pull exercises are great in BJJ always there is a push and pull! But before all be strong as a human being!
Kettlebell? Naked in garden? Ummm...I think we all can guess why you'll be in court. Now, where's that melon baller? I need to scoop that image out of my brain!
Combining Barbell training with Kettlebell training and i must say...getting stronger with the KBs transferred A TON of strength over to my Barbell lifts and most days, i prefer the bells over the bar 😂 LOVE Kettlebell training!
at 53, l’ve been playing around with kettlebells waayyy before they became this popular trend that they are today. been using them since 2012 and they’ve helped with every aspect of my life, l climb trees for a living and kettlebells have helped keep me in the game well over my expiration date. kettlebells will keep you strong and in shape forever as long as you stay away from shitty foods. (100% guarantee)
I had a baby at 45. Much different than recovery in my 20’s. I’ve been using kettlebells to lose the weight, gain my strength back, most importantly fix my weak core. I can’t believe how much better I can move!
Omg KB Training was something I felt like I had been missing out on in my 40yrs of life lol. I trained with KB only during covid and the following year and I shed a shit load of fat and gained a new functional strength and became more flexible… as part of my experiment lol I have since stopped tracing period and boy let me tell you my gut and lack of mobility is testament that in my experience KB training was way more beneficial than any weight training fad regiment out here on the web or provided by some over trenned/test trainer at the gym. Restarted my KB training yesterday, Let’s Fucking Go!!
@@geeweezy90 KB just like all other strength training builds muscle. The more muscle you have the more energy your body requires to sustain itself this your caloric needs increases with more weight training, so if you eat the same stuff but build muscle you will indeed lose weight. I'm dealing with that problem right now
Kettlebells since 2020 and have never looked back. My stack is double 70s for explosive work and double 97s for strength and will continue to go up over time really like to see how far I can go.
Just got a couple kettle bells, looking forward to getting healthy and powerful again. I’m 42 and I may not have lost all my strength and muscle it’s just a shadow of what it was and I have a 1 year old son to set an example for. I’m in the big bend area of Texas maybe I should make a trip to Austin to learn some stuff
Yeah, I'll continue to think that way. My hands and forearms do not hurt. If you keep form nothing has to hurt. And after trying years of yoga, which is great all over, kettlebells are the only thing that changed my body composition. I'm pushing 60, by the way.
All these things would be true, if someone didn’t know what they were doing with kettlebells and a lot of people don’t! Personally, I love kettlebells work!
There are lots of good instructions on UA-cam on proper kettlebell technique. You just have to weed out the "Barbies" and hacks who profess to be experts.
Kettlebells are the most functional way to lift weights to get strong, efficient and to gain muscle. Regular weights in my opinion, is kinda outdated, even tho some movement are needed for athletes. I'm talking here for functionality. If your goal is getting bigger then go for the regular weights.
Bro kettlebells have me looking and feeling great. I eat more cause I'm working out more. My sleep is wow. My phsique just gets better and better. And grip strength.. free.
I just started using KB and i never had any problems related to my hands or forearms. I lost more weight using KB than just traditional weight lifting exercises. U can do a lot more movements and exercises with KB than DB or barbells
There is this amazing thing called science, kettle bells are cool and a good workout, but the ability to properly load a bar just dwarfs the kettle bell for anybody who can lift more than 90lbs
AHEM! You cannot compare barbells to kettlebells. They are completely different, as kettlebells have a lower center of gravity and are harder to control than a bar with loaded weights.
Kettlebells benefits the whole body very well and yes they will make you more stronger plus kettlebells is a awesome game changer for the whole entire body 😊
totally disagree. KB's are an amazing strength builder. You only have pain if you don't progress in weight the same way you would if you were benching, dead lifting etc. Every method has a process. KB's rock!!
I did a 100 kettle bell swings at the gym today. It did not take long and I thought it was good, but I did not realize just how much it would kick my metabolism into gear. I got very hungry a few hours later, which is not normal for me since I already ate breakfast. I workout 5 days a week, but today was the first time I added the kettle bells, so I really believe that’s what was behind my hunger a few hours later.
Any kind of workout requires energy. If you're hungry, it means you used up a lot of energy or your regular meal didn't provide enough amount of or the right proteins. This is the reason bodybuilders consume protein drinks during a workout.
Rogue has them all the way up to 203lbs. If Mike Tyson can build his physique with no weights while burning through insane amounts of cardio, 406lbs will do the trick just fine. Unless you’re on gear going for the Ronnie Coleman look.
Have you tried using one on each hand? Kettlebells don't need to be excessively heavy. You can always add a resistance band if you want more weight, or do more reps and sets.
They're the easiest thing to use. They're also the most brutal, Punishing, And versatile piece of equipment ever devised. There are no secrets to them. All my lifts have gone up since I included them years ago.
I only have kettlebells at home and I couldn’t be more sick of over working for mediocre progress when if I could afford better equipment id almost never need a kettlebell
it's a good complimentary lift meaning if you get good with bells it can carry over and improve other barbell and dumbbell lifts. Try a single arm overhead press with 24 kg or above. The movement pattern is the most natural for the shoulder and definitely builds muscle.
Kettlebells allow for so much creativity in a workout, I am always looking for new ideas and they are never ending. I use machines but KBs are more fun.
Use whatever weight you feel comfortable with that provides resistance. Then work your way up. There are lots of good trainers on UA-cam: Hannah Eden, Eric leija, Joe Daniels, mind pump.
The thing I hate about kettlebells the most is dragging them out of the rack over to where I'm going to use them, and dragging them back and hoicking them back in. Other than that, love them.
Get yourself a dolly. Or get the gym folks to move them closer to where you workout with them. I have to deal with the newbies hogging the bells for farmers walk or as a handle for pushups.
The secret to kettle bell training is to avoid the nonsense...Use your precious time in your life banging out "Around the world" calisthenics routine every other day and progressing on the following compound movements...slight incline bench press...with either parallel bar dips or incline close grip bench press...military press...squat...alternating with leg press each lower body workout...rdls...a supported row...and either deadlift or to really overload the back rack pulls...accessory work consisting of calve raises alternating between standing and seated...the biceps will get enough stimulation for growth if you are not happy with your bicep growth then add a bicep curl that works the biceps efficiently...triceps get plenty of stimulation for strength and growth growth from the bench presses...dips...military presses...for a complete program for natural lifters feel free to dm...Big up to Jeff Bridges for his kettle balls...Nice 1.
Been powerlifting for 6+ years but since i switched to kettlebell and Calisthenics I realized what being fit and powerful actually means. 🔥
I just did the same. what we should of done is started off with kettlebells and calisthenics to build foundational strength and then powerlifting / body build but we did vice versa b/c society brain washed us.

Just add calisthenics to the kettle bells and you'll be more awake than ever! Appears many commenters on here have done that.

Definitely one of the best for combat sports like BJJ
