Kettlebells work best for me. I love the intensity and the ability to train my whole body with every exercise, and I loath the boring pace of bodybuilding/powerlifting styles of training. Training comes down to personal preference: DO WHAT YOU LIKE TO DO, AND DO IT CONSISTENTLY! That is all that really matters, some methods might be slightly more effective, but anything is superior to nothing.

The kettlebell is truly a wonderful piece of strength equipment. Appropriate joint tracking, ease of transportation, implementation into any movement pattern (push, pull, press, squat, hinge, lunge, twist), and versatility in its ability to be flipped upsidedown for shoulder stability training, the kettlebell is a useful tool in a strong man's arsenal. It isn't all you need for mass and hypertrophy, but certainly builds strength that carries over the functional life activities (tactical and functional strength).

[@brennengodeen3796]

When traveling and I have limited space or availability, kettlebell is my favorite. Easy to put into the vehicle and bring with you to hotels ect. People seem to have a love/hate relationship with them. It’s just another tool that can aid in fitness goals. Grab a heavy kettlebell and go carry it back and forth alternating arms with each change of direction (farmers carry). It’s a very versatile piece of equipment and I agree with you, can be used to train many if not all planes of motion and movement patterns.

There is value in enjoying your preferred training program and methodology as well. Too many people search for the “perfect/best” programming or equipment. Most Americans would benefit from just walking these days. So many excuses, find a form of exercise or physical activity that you enjoy and do it often. I completely agree with you, most people would benefit more from consistency than any other variable.

[@colleenr2]

I choose kettlebells over barbells for the exact reasons Pavel mentioned. With the slight imbalance I have in my shoulders, overhead and chest presses with barbells absolutely kill me. I love the flexibility kettlebells offer for strength training and body composition (the lean, but muscular build).

[@brennengodeen3796]

Kettlebells are extremely versatile and are excellent when traveling. I cannot fit a barbell in my vehicle but I can fit a kettlebell and they certainly aid in alleviating muscular imbalances. Band work and unilateral isometric exercises with a dumbbell are an additional tool as well.

[@robbybee70]

[@KungfuMary]

I started kettlebell training because the machines at the gym are always busy and I have to wait for my turn, lengthy times . I fell in love with kettlebells training, it increased my strength training and results by two, it covers now 90% of my training..

[@brennengodeen3796]

Machines are definitely at the bottom of the list of equipment selection and prioritization. It’s certainly better than nothing and remaining sedentary. KB’s are the superior choice for general physical preparedness and fitness. Any free weight is superior for the general population. Machines have their place like injuries and isolation exercises but there is a reason why college and professional weight rooms have mostly free weights. The machines are in the athletic training room. Yes free weights require more technique and training or coaching may benefit some but we all have to start somewhere and with time and practice, you can improve technique on your own. Otherwise you will have some meathead who took a weekend long course telling you to alter your technique with some voodoo magic. I enjoy group exercise classes occasionally as it serves as a social occasion but listening to some trainers or coaches instruction is atrocious. In general, it’s really not that complicated unless it’s Olympic barbell movements. Everyone can continuously improve their technique or address flexibility/mobility/imbalances but I see a lot of people trying their best to improve and technique is grossly overvalued. It should never be the limiting factor that prevents someone from exercising. Our bodies are rather resilient and can accommodate to poor form without our consciousness. Of course you want to do it right but nobody ever started strength training and had perfect form. People have more overuse and chronic injuries than those who suffer an injury due to poor technique. The fitness community has made things far more complicated than they appear. Continue doing whatever it is that you enjoy and remain active. Free weights require more joint stabilization and mobility than machines. Overuse and chronic injuries commonly occur with poor joint control (weak joint stabilization muscles) and repetitive movement patterns. This is not to say machines are not incapable of improving fitness or strength. However, your kettlebell selection will only serve you better and support your longevity. Most machine advocates are just dudes who have “bad knees” and leg press that cannot squat nearly the same weight or lack the athleticism, flexibility or mobility to perform the movement. I guess a yoked body builder would make the same argument but again, many require joint replacements or reconstructive surgery later in life. Being big is cool and all but so is aging well and having freedom of movement that is pain free. I’ll just keep hammering these resistance bands and rattle the cages. Use a variety of equipment, move often, be consistent and enjoy the process.

[@brennengodeen3796]

I agree, most Americans would benefit from just walking or any form of physical activity. I always encourage those who are new or just starting to find an exercise program, location, variety or method that they enjoy and will participate regularly into old age. Many get hyperfocused on the hierarchy and I’m just focused on getting Americans to move, walk or exercise. I think there should be tax incentives or other motivators for those who exercise regularly and make good lifestyle choices. That’s magical thinking though, since when has the US government ever incentivized responsible behavior or good life choices? They tend to make this group pay for the others who make poor lifestyle choices and generally sedentary without physical activity. Nah, just give them a GLP-1 agonist instead. Why is it so difficult to reward individuals who demonstrate accountability, discipline and integrity. Honestly, what would it take to get Americans to walk 15 minutes a day? I would recommend health insurance companies reimburse doctors accordingly to allow the necessary and timely conversation with regard to diet, exercise and wellness. Simply telling patients to “eat better and exercise more” is a disservice and should not be tolerated. Perhaps insurance companies could cover some costs for proper instruction and coaching, even if temporary? Incentivize people who eat a balanced diet and practice moderation? It’s so disheartening to see a patient tell me their idea or understanding of diet and exercise and to no fault of their own, couldn’t be more inaccurate. I don’t expect them to have the knowledge either, but a 15 minute appointment is not nearly enough. The system has made it easier and more convenient to prescribe medication without proper lifestyle change trials or attempts. I’m becoming more convinced that the corporations are more interested in lifelong customers than they are in prevention and cure. A few office visits to acquire knowledge and develop a deliberate plan combined with determination, motivation and discipline from the patients contribution would provide greater results than aggressive medication management. Obviously exceptions to this approach exist and some require medication but the general adult only needs guidance and the tenacity to achieve their goals. No secret formula or shortcuts, just progressive and sustainable lifestyle changes. But that approach doesn’t generate the same profit margins. I approach the majority of medications as a temporary solution, not a lifelong commitment. Our goal should be to get patients off of medications if indicated by maximizing sleep, diet and exercise. Again, life saving medications exist and are a absolute necessity for many. However, many chronic health conditions can be managed with the methods above. I hope the culture changes and a focus on prevention and longevity is celebrated accordingly. Many took a oath, few adhere. Lastly, can the government also get rid of BMI or develop a measurement that accounts for body composition instead? This is just a continuation of their incompetence and laziness overall. It’s not a worthless metric but it certainly isn’t an accurate representation.

[@LanzaMartineta]

I did three days of kettle bells, three 30 minute workouts following a You Tube video. I have been lifting for 30 years- I found myself gasping for air! I found myself floored at the end of it. First two times I did it I used 14, every where ached. Third time I went to 16 and I literally got into the swing of it. I felt like I was embracing it. It satisfied my need for weights but the swing hit the cardio button to. Great! Convert I think!

[@brennengodeen3796]

Resistance training (weight training) to prevent osteoporosis, muscle atrophy, fragility, falls, metabolic disease and balance/coordination. Short rest periods can be sufficient for cardiovascular fitness. The evidence is clear, if you have a very limited schedule or availability to exercise, resistance training provides the most benefit in general. We are still stuck in the age of aerobic training as the superior choice. It’s essential and important, absolutely. However, if I were aging and had 1-2 hours a week to exercise, resistance training would be my choice based on the scientific evidence. Something is always better than nothing and consistency is king.

[@Dedicated_.1]

1. Start with body weight until weight plateaus 2. Move to low weight ‘body weight/free weight’, ie running with weights in hands, weighted pull ups etc make sure you use low weights 3. Increase speed of movements by doing explosive low weight ‘free weight/body weight exercises 4. Increase the weights and repeat from 2. This is how to get the most functional strength as well as actually getting stronger and more powerful. 1. Is optimal functionality 2. Is optimising strength at this functionality 3. Is optimising power at the functionality and muscle weight 4. Is getting stronger again

D F you guys may be right. But barbell training is the most transferable to the other sports. Not kettle bell training. Bill Starr wrote about that a long time ago.

MyGashIsBigger No, you see, barbells are just too hard to teach people - they have a steep learning curve with a lot of potential injuries. Unlike Turkish get ups, which are of course a multi-dimensional exercise that utilize the whole body in a way literally nobody ever uses their body. It's perfectly intuitive.

[@baltimorebjj]

@@ericmoorman9680 Yes getting stronger for the average person is straight forward and SS is good for that. But think of it this way, in high level sports, the athletes are extremely competitive, they will do whatever it takes to win. If squatting 405 would give them an advantage in their sport they would do it, no questions asked. However their are tons of BJJ world champions and elite athletes (and mma fighters, wrestlers, runners, cyclists, swimmers, tennis players etc) that cannot squat 405. Accomplishing that would require them to take away from the work and recovery needed to perform their sport at a high level. Everyone in those sports is aware of barbell training, and many choose not to do it. (Yes some do it, and there are some strong ones) There is no overwhelming evidence that a higher squat will get you to the top of the podium in anything other than powerlifting. If you squat tested top finishers in all of these sports you wouldn't find a lot of correlation between their squat and how well they did in the sport. I'm also not saying kettlebell training is any better, and the same case can be made.
