My bit of advice is... unless you’re competing in something don’t get hung up on going heavy. Concentrate on longevity and injury prevention over big numbers.

[@kylew7180]

That's good advice.

[@XieTianXieDi888]

Great advice. It’s a big ego check. It can be hard to get the mind around dropping from 20 kg. to 8 kg. so that you can hit 100 reps with each arm.

[@patrickokeeffe4787]

True. If you can get up from the floor or press overhead with a 16kg or 20kg for 5 reps.... you'll probably be as strong as you'll ever need to be in life. I'm 60 years of age and it's only in the gym that I've ever been called upon to lift such weights overhead. I don't think in real life have I ever needed to lift such weight even off the floor....let alone over my head. And I listened to a podcast recently where two well established kettlebell guys were saying that the minimum for strength and preparedness for life is to be able to clean and press 2 x24kg.....what a load of bull.🙄

[@kara-sanmart208]

Understood

[@donharrold1375]

24kg-32kg is heavy? Most guys will find pressing 53lb overhead with strict form challenging. Most people are not going to progress to 70lb for pressing. The other thing to appreciate is that kettlebell training is not a straight replacement for typical “gym bro” training. It’s a hybrid approach that strengthens the entire body whilst conditioning the cardiovascular system. It isn’t designed to, and won’t, build massive muscles. It will build total resilience and toughness though, which is a much more important skill for most people.

16kg for an advance lifter for a man conditioning wise. Because if your kettlebell program for a 16kg will eventually carry through other lifts like compound barbell exercises. I use one 16kg to 20kg most for general fitness so if ever i have the opportunity to go to a gym i can still have stock strength to lift high numbers .

[@TheAlwards]

I started with a 16, which is good for learning swings and cleans, but if I had to do it again, I would start with a pair of 12kg bells. I recently started playing with 12s, and it's easier to check and perfect your form on cleans and snatches, plus do double-bell exercises - a pair of 12s is 24kg, which is plenty of conditioning power. Also: as a beginner, 16kg was useless for get ups, windmills and most other grinds. There's nothing sacred about the standard 12-16-24kg weights. I like the 18kg as a heavy 16, and the 22kg as a light 24. 20kg or 22kg is my favorite weight, althought I'd want something heavier for deadlifts and swings. 14kg is also an interesting possibility as a first kettlebell for a man.

[@Missprettyladi]

@zack henderson: Excellent video! What are your thoughts on competition style vs. hard style kettlebells?

[@ZackHenderson]

I like both but typically use Hardstyle. Video coming very soon!

[@patrickokeeffe4787]

Personally, my arms and hands had a lot to do with selecting between the two. I have genetically small arms and hands. Some smaller cast bells rack uncomfortable for me. Then the handles get thicker as the weights go up on cast irons making it awkward for grip with 24kg and 32kg. I find competition bells work better for me in this respect. Having said that, before changing and buying a few competition bells to suit my needs...in hindsight the 12kg and 16kg cast bells did work for me and I should have just doubled up on them. I would have had all I needed to be honest. The 12kg in cast iron is a small bell and it wouldn't have been that much more awkward to do double swings and do double rack squats instead of a goblet squat or a two hand swing with a single 24kg competition bell. But I'm still happy out. I bought a 12kg and 16kg in competition bells to kick start me off and I just added a 20kg and 24kg. I might buy one more bell and it will be a toss up between a 32kg or a second 16kg.

[@Tma483]

I fight at 132 lb. I normally walk around in the 140's weight kettlebell would you recommend for kettlebell deadlifts

[@ignacionava8699]

Terrin Jackson II I think kettle bells are best used for more dynamic excercises than deadlifts. Such as swings, cleans, presses, snatches, tgu. If you want to train deadlifts, best stick to heavy overloading. If you can't train at a gym, maybe a kettlebell and attach a. very heavy band. It's not ideal, but it works somehow.

[@ignacionava8699]

perhaps a better question, how much can you deadlift might determine what is a good weight for swings, etc.

[@stewartbergman1812]

There is a good video and I made one (I can’t attach a picture) but get some metal flange pipes with a screw in base and a bar on top. I will send anyone that wants a picture of it. You put free weight onto it, select a weight and swing away. Cost is 25 dollars, will save you a small fortune if you have weight plates already. The parts are at Lowe’s, Home Depot and screw into each other, it is such a cheaper way to go.

[@benisboy2697]

If you can press it overhead it is great starting point. And after training with that for a while, instead of upgrading to heavier one, id get another 20kg and be set for basicly everything.

[@harvestblades]

Now traditionally kettlebells come in Russian poods, a pood is just over 16kg, & the sizes were 1 pood (16kg, #35). 1.5 pood (24kg, #53), & 2pood (32kg, #73), and only recently did they do these 4kg jumps. Pavel Tsatsouline (the man that popularized kettlebells once again here in the U.S) has some very good points on why the big jumps are beneficially, & how to advance. Considering how pricey kettlebells were when I started having three bells (16, 24, & 32) was a big investment, but I am glad I went that route as I quickly needed more weight for lifts that involve my legs, & hips. I hadn't done much resistance training for nearly 15 years, but was overweight, but active & worked construction. The 16kg is way to light for a man to do two handed swings, and I had to learn how to do a single handed swing. I have banged up tight shoulders, but the 16kg seems to be a good starting point for a man as there are ways to progress especially in overhead lifts. I just hate to see people especially guys that may have neglected strength, & fitness their entire life, or maybe post high school/college to not get the most out of their bells, and $$$. We can have different opinions, but I know for me having a 16kg for learning lifts like snatches, windmills was great, but I needed a 32kg to get anything from deadlifts, & two handed swings if I was after strength, & power. I know have doubles fromn 16kg to 40kg, but when I travel my 24kg or 32 is my go (and only touch a 16kg if it is a really, really bad day or trying something new like juggling). I just dont feel like a 20kg would of made any sense as I think all but the really thinner guys would benefit from them vs making the jump, & reaping the benefits). Sorry for the rant, but money is tight, & I want results without having money tied up in bells I don't use when it could of gone to getting me a double or a bigger bell. I will also add I love my Dragon Door bells as they are great, & were last I kmew made in the USA. I encourage folks to buy American made, & I also really like my new made in the USA Rogue bells.

[@karolwojcikiewicz1653]

For me of course the 16, 24 and 32 is what you need. Could be enough for life. At the begging buy just 16 and 24. For 1 handled exercises it is good starting point. Then I would go 32, the next second 24 then second 32. Long after that you could need 40 and 48 but most of the guys do not need them at all. My set is 16, 24, 24, 32, 32 and 40. 16 is now too light for me for training but I use it every time for warm up. 40 on the other hand is too light for 2h swings but too heavy for 1 handed exercises. But I will get there😂

Totally agree, the 24kg was such an improvement from 16 and double 16. Working now in preparing for the 32.

Absolutely, they are easier on the arms and all the same size (and grip). Different size bells means adjusting your technique slightly. Comp bells all being pretty much standard sizes you don't have this issue. I have Comp bells at home and hate when I got somewhere and have to use the "Russian ones".

[@ffraine]

Depends on what you use them for. If you're not doing cleans and snatches, not really, and if you're mainly just doing two handed swings I'd take the hardstyle bells over competition bells any day of the week as competition bells are designed for one hand use. Personally I do cleans and snatches and happily spent a small fortune on them.

Bought this for my youngest to develop basic form for single hand kettlebell work. kzbin.infoUgkxtaDAl93XF8wxJhssTtjIFjzid82wglva It has a nice grip on it, just a little rough so it isn't slippery. I was doing a few rotator cuff exercises to test and worked well for those movements I'd been doing with a regular dumbbell. Cool thing you can do is hold it in your hand for door-knob turns to work the forearm and grip. Note: it's small, almost all handle, but that's what I expected given the weight. Smallest I've worked with before is 15lbs, so it was kind of funny to see the difference 10lbs makes.

My wife and I are building a gym atm and are going for an 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24 to start with. She's starting with the 8s and move up, and I'll probably start with the 16, or 12s, and move up. Way I look at it as that the weight required will vary per exercise so useful to have a range. We'll broach the higher weights and doubles as we progress, and the doubles we do get will likely be another of what we have 1 of already. Great clear info, thanks.

It seems that kettlebells don't really work the biceps. It seems that the main muscles worked are the legs, back, core, and shoulders.

[@aperezdeal]

High rep cleans and you’ll feel it in your biceps. Looping a belt or a band through the handle also gives you options though many would agree that dumbbells are a better fit for direct arm work but again a kettlebell and a belt/ rope/ band will give you options.

[@shermhart7617]

You get a heavy kb and you can curl it also get a towel and put it through it and can curl, it can kill them arms

[@patrickokeeffe4787]

I injured both my biceps when I was learning to clean the kettlebells by using to heavy a kettlebell. So kettlebells do work your biceps....can even annilate them if your not careful. Also your biceps will get worked if you do bent over rows and high pulls.

[@ZaydDepaor]

of course they do, you can do similar as dumbbell with slight change of weight positioning, you can mimic various dumbbell curls and make your adjustments and unique exercises.

[@daniellerussomanno188]

😂 I’ve never heard “freedom increments” before. Mine is in lbs too, now that you mention it!

[@oo5779]

i treat lb like kg

[@jamesyue1348]

for guys I highly recommend getting double 32kg as your starting bell.

I'm going to stop you right there. You know what? I don't need you to tell me three kettle bills will work for the first 2 years of my training two times before you get to anything useful. And saying kettlebells only come in kilograms? Had to turn it off and find elsewhere.
