Kettlebells?

globetrotter · May 19, 2009

interesting, I have only done high reps with kb, never low reps. probrably because the guy who tought me form did high reps. my gym has some heavy kb's, I should try that and see how I like it

if you work for speed, it's really like doing a big set or a complex. with a good weight, even low reps is good for a good workout.

really high frequency can be really fun with a lighter weight.. I do eventually wanna do the nonstop 200 snatches with a 53lbs, but that's gonna take some time...

So... Pavel's new book apparently has a lot of double kb work.. I am thinking a) What a great marketing strategy to sell more DD bells and b) I should probably order a second 53 # now..

I want my 2nd 53# too...

going to have to pick it up then. what's it called? I've been watching mahler's size and strength DVD recently and have finally gotten down the strict double military press.

Post up some links for all these books and videos and whatnot.

return of the kettlebell - mine just shipped.. I'll let you know how it compares to the other material. I have a feeling it's gonna be a lot of the same stuff as Mahler, just with Pavel's usual twists.

You know those outrageous claims the kettlebell kultists make about improving other lifts even though you're only kettlebelling?

After only having done kettlebells for the last five weeks, I walked into the gym to **** around and decided to test my barbell overhead press. Went from a 1RM of 135 to putting up 145 for three reps. again, only my personal experience here.

A kettlebell of that size can often be found at Target or a major sports equipment store (Dick's, Sports Authority, etc). That is a pretty small KB though. Most say to start with a 35 lb'er.

I've got a 30lb'er that I have been swinging with. I need something a bit lighter for getups After a year of half ass going to the gym I'm really weak again. I'll check target, thanks.

Flambeur · Jun 1, 2009

I know getups can be tough to get into at first, but going down in weight might be a stretch.

I say just concentrate on presses and snatches a bit, and keep trying at the getup.

Coldsnap · Jun 1, 2009

Thanks for the advice, I'm going to do that then. I'd rather spend the money on something else.
I was thinking today that since I've already have had / have an athletic body I should start seeing increases in strength relatively fast because I have the mass still from when i worked out and I know how to diet properly.

You definitely have to get used to handling the bells. TGU is pretty tricky unless you figure **** out first.
