I am from India and weighs around 75 kg. I have been working out for over a decade, bodyweight, some boxing exercises and used 10 kg dumbbells and a 30 kg barbell. Never lifted heavy. Natural and a fairly solid build. What would be the comfortable starting weight of kettlebell for me. 12 kg or 16 kg.

[@kinpatsu6366]

I met Pavel years ago when he was first introducing Kettlebells. I was burnt out and unmotivated from decades of free weight training. I asked him what I should do. He told me that I needed Kettlebells. I dismissed it at the time. Turns out he was RIGHT. At 60 my workouts have really evolved over the years since then. In many ways my body is stronger and more functional.

[@TheBioneer]

Kettlebells have done the same for me. At a times when I’ve been burned out they’re an easy way to keep training without too much fatigue. And they have literally fixed my back. Love them 💪🏻💪🏻 What was Pavel like? So cool you met him!

​@mage1086 I recommend 2 x 35lb and 2 x 53lb bells to start. This is what Pavel suggested in his books and videos. You can use two 35lb bells in one hand to make 70 lbs and mix the weights accordingly.

What I love about Kettlebells is that it is easy to stay in the zone and cultivate in a flow state. With barbell training, there is a lot of stop and start, change weights etc With kettlebells you can just swing like and flow between moves like a dance.

[@MAKE_PHOTOGRAPHS_ANYWHERE]

AMEN man. I love them and you hit the nail on the head... flow not stopping changing and interrupting flow also so insane efficient and more useful than weight for functional training.

[@MattWellmanWriter]

I injured my back 6 years ago basically from a life of lifting with poor core support. I've been miserable not being able to train but after seeing a few physical therapists and finding content creators like yourself who really show the importance of core stability, I was able to do my first set of kettlebell swings this week in as many years. Honestly I feel alive again and I'm excited to try some of these other moves, especially the split squat to continue to develop my hips. Great video dude.

[@mage1086]

Did you use a 12 kg or 16 kg. I am about to start. Is 16 kg too heavy for beginners. I am 75 kg fairly solid build, worked out for over a decade mostly bodyweight, some boxing workouts and 10 kg dumbbell and 30 kg barbell. Never lifted heavy.

Im 57 ,81kg. I do kettlebell entire life. I gonna tell you in 6 month it s not gonna be enough . Just warm up with 16 kg. Consider add weight or buy 24 kg. Explosive power grows really quick if u train regularly at list 20-30 min. 3-4 time a week. Thats because kettlebells train really good not only big muscle but tendons and a lot small stabilization muscle

[@jacobsanchez6924]

I just started incorporating Kettlebell and sandbag training with my barbell movements, and I’m definitely getting stronger and mass from the movements. My favorite kettlebell exercises are EMOMs and I’ll either do ABC or a set of clusters (clean/thrusters). I’ve been having good results finishing my workouts with these and it’s keeping things interesting, which keeps me going back for more.

[@DryMan03]

I love working large sandbags in with my barbell lifting. For both conditioning and strength. It makes you link all the muscles together to get the weight up and move it. Makes functional lifting easier. Still no better way to get big and strong than barbells though. I just wish more people would do functional type movements along with it.

Now 71 and due to being prescribed Sleep Apnoea and the need to wear a CPAP mask about 2 years ago was told if I lost a lot of weight and got fit, maybe be able to not have to wear a face mask for the rest of my life. I did so and got the clear, but it means I must keep up my fitness regime of diet, healthy food and exercising, thus I have watched a great a good deal of fitness KZbins. My point: without any doubt and having half my life been a teacher, lecturer and trainer, I am usually VERY CRITICAL of watching fitness people attempt to teach on here, but this one was EXCELLENT. Very good pedagogy in all aspects, especially detail which introduced and explained far better Kettlebell work-outs I currently do. Will certainly subscribed and add you to my list of 'decent' YTs to keep an eye on.

[@dangernoodle2868]

Always nice to have videos which go through how to use kettlebells. I especially love your flexibility with the cossack squat. It's really admirable. One note about 7:12 about the floor press though where you're talking about pain in the forearm. 1) You're not really holding the bells correctly where the corner of the handle sits in the L of your hand and with the handle at a 45% angle rather than doing straight across your palm. I know you're using a crush grip to get better strength but if you use a kettlebell grip then that will position the bell better on your forearm and reduce discomfort. 2) When you display the front squat, your clean and rack position actually need a lot of work. The bells are slamming into your wrists but also your elbows aren't close enough to your body, all contributing to wear and tear over the course of your workout. 3) The tissues in the forarm simply need time to adjust, if they're not used to the impact then even cleaning with perfect form will beat your arms up. It'll fix with time. All of this is to say that I think that the discomfort would be less if you had more experience with using KBs. Your positioning would be better and you would be more resilient while using it. Keep in mind as well that for your floor press you're not actually bringing your hands together, I think you'd get more activation of they came together at the top. I use banded pushups for my horizontal press anyway so I agree that you don't need to do floor presses, but I would recommend revisiting them after you have more experience because I think that being somewhat new to KBs holds you back a lot. (Maybe consider the 1st couple of steps in the turkish get up, because that also tends to work the chest a little bit.)

[@TheBioneer]

Thank you! Someone else pointed out that the grip might be the issue. I will definitely give them another try! I think I’d still probably use a bench and dumbbells but it’s good to know, thanks 👍🏻

[@fiddlebender88]

I like using kettlebells because of the different kind of loading compared to more centered equipment such as dumbbells. Ballistic movements, in other words, every possible progression of the swing from high pull to a snatch are the most essential ones that serve as a foundation to everything else. You can work on racked movements separetely or in a chain of exercises, a flow if you will, and strengthen your arms and legs through a variety of exercises that remind of old time strongmen. Windmills, anyhows, bent press, jerks, sots press, cossack squats... I didn't even mention the stability and mobility improvements. Try to press even 2/3 of your regular dumbbell shoulder press as a bottoms up press, you'll be challenged. Try to master your swing form by adding a flip of the kettlebell for each rep (watch your feet!) Kettlebells can be a lot of fun and for me they really revived my passion for strength and conditioning years ago when I was giving up on it. Nowadays I mostly train with barbells and dumbbells but I am bringing back some of that kettlebell flow training to counter the lack of mobility and loss of "springyness" as I get older. It's also a very sneaky way to add conditioning.

[@ArtbyPaulPetro]

I do KB swings and am working on the KB Cossack Squat but my hams are so tight i can barely do them full range with no resistance at all. small steps! I'd love to get that Mark Wildman adjustable KB but it's pretty pricey. Great video, yes more on other KB exercises! everything you put out here is top notch and super-helpful!

[@anasabu-rasheed544]

Thanks for spotlighting the kettlebell exercises. One sided kettlebell moves (swing, clean, snatch, rotations) are great for core stability. I personally suggest referring to (Mark Wildman) for cues on form and move variants.

[@Frennemydistinction]

I use his grip style, thumb pointing in when you pike kb, and kb comes down from swing. Much safer imo.

[@Sam-vk8xd]

You mark wildman beginners are cute. Checkout Pavel Tsatsouline, Steve Cotter and Geoff Neupert when you’re ready to level up.

​@@Sam-vk8xd Valery Fedorenko, Denis Vasilev and Denis Kanygin would like to have a word with you ;) Same as Pavel, Cotter, Neupert and Wildman they all have a different training approach but all will get you fit and it probably helps a trainee to crosstrain in the different modalities presented by those trainers

Tbh I recently found out your channel, and you are everything about what I wanted to learn about fitness, especially functional exercises which many fitness influencers rarely focus on. You and TheFitnessFAQs are my favourite fitness channels. Keep up the good work❤👌🏻

[@DreamTerrorist]

Kettlebells are my main modality of training and I supplement it with movement training (primal, flow, natural movement) and I think it fills in all the gaps. As much as I love hypertrophy, it's not my main focus. I think the stability, mobility, flexibility, balance, bodily control, endurance, and strength that comes from combining kettlebells and movement training is unmatched. If you haven't dabbled in kettlebells, I highly recommend them. They're completely unique and different from any kind of conventional weight training you might be used to so make sure you learn proper technique and form and take your time with them. They're a tool that requires skill and technique, it takes time to understand them.

[@TheBioneer]

Movement training and KBs is a 🔥 combination 👍🏻

[@DreamTerrorist]

Hell yeah, man. Love it. Would be cool to see you explore/go more in depth on traditional kettlebell sport movements like the snatch and jerk. Such powerful movements that hit every muscle fiber in your body! As popular as Kettlebells have become, they aren't popular enough. So many benefits.@@TheBioneer

[@DreamTerrorist]

I started with a 12kg and am still working my way up slowly. I wanted to be safe and really hone in on technique. Considering you have fitness experience, and depending on your strength, you may be able to start with 16kg but I'd honestly still go with 12kg to understand the fundamentals and get used to the feeling of using bells. Still so much to gain from 12kg even if it feels light to you, because it's still new to your body to some degree. Make sure to do mobility exercises as well!@@mage1086

Kettlebells are wonderful for strengthening that lower back and core region and restoring pain free movement. Side note, I highly recommend competition style kettlebells because they’re a consistent size and no matter the weight, it requires no form altering

[@Frennemydistinction]

Agree on the completion KBs. I do hard style, but with competition KBs. Hard style KB's get too large handles at heavier weights. I got the Mark Wlidman adjustable competition size KB from Bells of Steel, and wish I could afford a second one for dbl KB work.

[@turboseize]

Pretty much all of the traditional kettlebell exercises are full-body. Some of my favourite workouts are the following:. - swing, turkish get-up - snatch, bent press - clean &jerk (or clean and press, or clean and push press), some squat variation (rack squat, goblet squat...) - man maker variation: renegade row, press-up (on KB handles), clean, thruster Alternating between these workouts allows for quasi-daily training, as the exercises are different enough to prevent overuse and boredom, but close enough that all muscles receive frequent stimulus.

These are awesome! I didn't realize how awesome kettlebells were until this video and recently discovering more stuff from Pavel. I'm glad you went into detail on what makes proper form since I have seen, read, and heard of many folks who have hurt themselves by not understanding how to do so. On your post previous to this video, you mentioned how dynamic the action and video quality the rain makes, and I have to agree. However, your preference of music also perfectly pairs to pump up excitement, too. Excellent work! Last note, if I wasn't an absolute convert to Vibram Five Finger shoes, I would definitely go with Vivos. I've tried them and they are amazing. I went from New Balance to Merrill to Vibram 5 Fingers on my path to slowly going to barefoot. Folks who suddenly switch find foot problems and swear barefoot is bullshit, but they are rushing the process. I think the Vivos would both accelerate the process but do so safely. Thanks for another high-quality, informative, entertaining video. Have a peaceful evening!

I use 35 and 45 pound plates and do a motion that’s pretty much the same as you would use with a kettlebell, but it seems a bit easier on my elbows. I also find suitcase carries, i.e., carrying a load in one hand, easier with a kettlebell than with a dumbbell. In this case, using a kettlebell seems to be easier on my elbows.

Big up for showcasing the kettlebell for improving athletic performance! However, leaving out the two best kettlebell exercises - the Turkish getup and the kettlebell snatch - is downright criminal.

For most men, avoid going under 12 kg. You will need to feel SOME weight to learn the movements properly. I agree that 16 kg is a good place to start. Tho pricey and not the best finish, Rep's adjustable KBs (8-16 kg, and 16-24 kg) are very convenient. Another company was selling them in the UK several years back. Same Chinese factory. Bells of Steel (Canada) has Mark Wlidman's adjustable competition style KB, even more pricey and more time consuming to switch weights, but an amazing product imo.

I've recently gotten into pushups again. I'm starting to notice real progress and have been thinking of adding in something like a kettlebell. I think you've convinced be bro.

[@JCar3.0]

Love KBs. Started training with them years ago and haven't ever looked back.

[@leoslima8]

i added an extra day on my PPL split to do some conditioning training, the backbone of it is a KB swing EMOM. Loved the video and will implement some of the exercises in my own program, thanks a lot. Just gotta fix my clean and press form, my forearms would appreciate that haha

[@Throbtometrist]

i've never done the one where you pass it around your head before. felt good would recommend.

[@Diggy22]

The kettlebell halo alone has drastically reshaped my upper body, especially my shoulders, chest, and back.

[@anjoLas]

You sir just earned a subscriber for life. Amazing video.

[@stevenwelp7165]

Appreciate you letting the video run a bit longer to see you straining to failure with heavier breathing that are critically important for hypertrophy.

[@elihyland4781]

Literally followed along with a Kettle Bell. I love this. Giant Bioneer fan🤘⚡️

[@andrewlittles4403]

I love everything except the dumbbell press bc I have bad shoulders it reminds me of someone getting me in a figure four in jui jitsu but, other than that this is the physique I would be quite thrilled to grow into 😁

Fantastic content, mate. Now, let's take it (and you) to the next level. Q: what type of eating produces an anabolic body? Hint: it is the same diet our ancestors used to survive the Ice Age. If you want to explode in both size, strength, power, and fitness, here is how you do it. 1. STOP all pills, supplements, spices, seasonings, or anything else. 2. Drinking ONLY water and eating ONLY fatty, red meat, eat to FULL satiety TWICE a day. That means eat until the idea of another mouthful becomes disgusting. And, eat ONLY when hungry. 3. The goals here are becoming fat adapted, destroying sugar and other -ose dependencies (by rewiring your brain and developing an entirely new gut biome), and beginning the repair phase. This will kick start your body to operste the way nature intended it to. The ONLY supplements you MAY need are iodine (1-3 drops a day) and magnesium and potassium (simple supplements will work). 4. Eat, work, rest/sleep/recovery. You will become a beast. 5. Optional. Buy a PrimerCube and use daily. What I gave you here is $100k of info. Hopefully, you do as I say. P.S. NO, you do NOT need fiber. NO, you do not need to eat any plants or fruits. Be well.

Nutritional science says otherwise, but disregard the facts if it makes you happy

[@DeeComrade]

Great video mate, love kettlebell workouts

[@marcinsala3161]

The longer I train the more and the more your content I'm watching I also realize how tbh dumb "regular" weight lifting for most of us (not being professional athletes folks) is. I think I was "cool" by not using machines and only was focusing on free weights and bodyweight movements, but missed at the same time so much in regards to KBs. There's so much that we have to do with our bodies to keep them young and functional and we're also so time deficient (speaking as a father and business owner), so I feel like going into KBs will solve lot of potential issues down the road - balance, core work, strength, endurance, conditioning etc. etc. Of course don't get me wrong, regular weight lifting still can give you a base and it's a great way to get into fitness, but I guess I need something more functional...maybe even "super" functional... ;)

[@Damin-Danger-Ledford]

I personally keep the Turkish Get Up in my list. Right there closer to the top. I really like to break it down into the main movements as well. I focus on the bridge, swing back, and the half kneel raise, since that's where I'm weakest at the moment.

[@Frennemydistinction]

Love the TGU. Great full body grind movement.

[@Damin-Danger-Ledford]

@@Frennemydistinction I hated it at first. But after some time, it's the move.

[@marquesjones3411]

My cued for KB swing quiz::: Loading up for you KB swing feels as if you are about to jump; A) As ‘FAR’ as you can B) As ‘HIGH’ as you can

[@ShymioTherapie]

I think my favorite is the single arm thruster, very effective on cardio and balance.

[@PerceptionVsReality333]

Super helpful but I'm surprised you didn't mention the standing kettlebell front row. It targets the traps, mid delts, & to some degree the romboids all at the same time.

[@Uzair_Of_Babylon465]

Great video keep it up you're doing amazing things 😁👍

[@mateosworld8280]

Last month I started doing a combination of Kettle bells and Gymnastic rings and bodyweight/weighted calisthenics with a weight vest. Let me tell you. I firmly believe that is the ultimate combination. I'm in the process of loosing a lot of fat. But my lady last week noticed how much my body has changed

[@TheCCBoi]

6:26 - ahhh, the eternal struggle between sweatpants pockets and Apple earbuds case. I’ve lost count how many times I almost lost them working out lol.

[@TheBioneer]

😂😂😂

[@theoriginalrecycler]

Your looking in great shape. The difference is noticeable

[@spencer1076]

Cheers Adam, I really rate get ups and doing cross body snatch with rack thruster each rep. For the swings I add in a jump too, just for fun!! Also include mace bell 360, reckon they’re better than halos with KB. Takes care folks.
