Adam, am I misinterpreting here, or did you describe weightlifting when you said powerlifting? I didn't see any snatches, cleans, jerks, etcetera...

[@Drew-v2f]

I recommend to change your workout routine to learn a new workout like CrossFit and give a class a try or even try the Murph workout. Mixing in Cardio and Calisthenics is a great way to train your lower body. I see the Murph workout is hard to do you can minimize the numbers down to tailor it to being successful at completing the workout. If you combine HIT training and CrossFit there are similar results. And it is a different rather than going on your regular gm routine. Remember that this is not military style training people are not going to shout at you and make you miserable. The military has a different culture and breed of warriors. Don't ever assume

I can only offer my personal experience here. I was a white belt in BJJ from 2016-2018 and ONLY did barbell powerlifts with some accessories to complement my mat time. This just did not translate as well to the mats, and more often than not I was always tired from doing deadlifts or squats the day before or after a hard 1-1.5 hour BJJ class. My mat time suffered eventually after getting my blue belt. I was continuing to try and do both powerlifting and BJJ, and I was lucky to get on the mats twice a week because of how tired I’d be from lifting, every day life stressors, and the one BJJ class I would be able to attend during the week. Fast forward to the lockdowns of 2020 when I discovered kettlebells. A lot of other BJJ guys had talked about them, and I really made it a point to dive deep into them and learn the skills. It was hard to learn things like the snatch, the double clean and press, the double front squat, and the Turkish get up. But I was all in. When the BJJ gyms reopened a year later, I was able to balance quick 20-25 minute at home kettlebell workouts with BJJ. Today I’m able to get on the mats 2-3x a week and do 2 kettlebell workouts at home, and I have NEVER felt stronger on the mats. I mean that in every sense of the word. Stronger physically, stronger with my cardio, stronger with my movements, and stronger with my energy. I have built what I have needed to with powerlifting and can safely say I’ll never go back to barbells again. If I was a high school football player looking for a D1 scholarship then I’d be singing a different tune. As an adult corporate professional looking to be a BJJ black belt someday, give me kettlebells every time.

[@bdono555]

Im a huge kettlebell enthusiast (owner of a 14 bell courage corner) but there's a caveat to them. When I had a desk job they were without a doubt the best fitness tool for me. Now that I have a more active job bending, twisting, lifting and moving boxes, drums and barrels weighing 10-200kg I've almost stopped using them. The multi body part stabilization advantages kettlebells gave me are now detriment because I get them from work and kettlebells training more than once a week causes some over training issues. I've switched back to more barbell training for about 6 months now and have seen some dramatic improvements. Summary- I love kettlebells but always take into account your lifestyle before considering a training modality.

This is why I think that the perfect combo is very diverse and includes training methods like weight lifting, calisthenics, kettle ball, resistance bands, rock and tree climbing, swimming, and a martial art. I know it sounds like a lot, but the variety is a lot of fun, and it makes the body look and feel great.

Due to my current hectic schedule, I can only do kettlebell swings at home in the evening after work. 10 reps at 4-5 sets nearly everyday with 100lbs kettlebell. What I like about it is it doesn't take that much time, granted it isn't much of a workout, but I am building up to higher reps. The first two weeks of this wasn't easy, lots of soreness especially in the hamstrings, but it is getting easier and easier with time. I notice a lot of benefits, I am much leaner and stronger, better endurance, better sleep. I don't sweat as much when I am doing regular activities, and my heart rate doesn't go up as much as before. I also notice a better body and mind connection, I can maneuver around more gracefully. I'll be slowly increasing reps, maybe one extra rep every two weeks. My goal is to be able to hit 100 swings daily @ 100lbs.

[@dangernoodle2868]

I think the main reason why kettlebell training isn't optimal for building muscle (it builds muscle just not optimally), is that to maximise muscle growth you need to train a muscle close to failure which is typically done by isolating the muscle you want to grow. Kettlebell training isn't really for training to failure especially becomes it trains the body holistically. But it's not because it's a light weight because bodybuilding trainig can be done with light(er) weights. But you'll often want a range of resistances that a single weight (or a small range of weights) may struggle to give you. Theres another thing, is that kettlebell lifters -especially KB sports guys- DO have big legs because they train them explosively which causes the type 1 fibres to grow. Having an implement that allows for balistics means that you are putting tension on the muscles than what's on the label and you get a nice build-up of metabolites since you're training for longer.

[@Mendrawza24]

My concern is how to split the power and kettlebell days to allow for recovery. Doing all three powerlifting lifts and a Military Press on the same day is a lot of work, even if the weight percentages are just a bit lower than the 80-90% 1RM loads on hard training days. It seems like one would need to take a rest day every other day or every three days, making it a 4 day split. Was that your intention? Seems like an advanced program for people already familiar with both training modalities. If I had a suggestion to make the training days more accessible to more people at different levels, I would break up the power days into some traditional splits where you work one or two major lifts and use the kettlebell exercises as the accesory movements. Every couple of weeks or so, there could be a heavy powr day as you have put originally and a kettlebell day to simply work and test within those modalities to see progress. Periodization in the powerlifiting workouts should be taken into consideration too, changing the workloads and RPEs so one isn't overloaded.

[@amhawk8742]

The benefits of a training style depends on technique, intensity and consistency. Powerlifting is easier to pick up than kettlebell exercises which are often performed too slowly to truly work explosive power or are done so quickly and in such high rep ranges that there is actually just as high a chance of injury as from powerlifting training. Also, powerlifting increase raw force which in turn increases force production and a speedy coordinated contraction of the muscles. I can only deadlift 150kg (at a weight of 63kgs) but without quick leg drive in the lowest part of the lift, I would not even be able to the get the weight to a point from which I can grind it out. Powerlifting is explosive, but because you're lifting heavier weights, that explosiveness is masked in the slowness of the movement (I know that sounds like BS but maybe you still get the idea). Also, I've never trained high reps, but when I've attempted high reps ranges (amrap 100kg deadlifts for example) I've been able to perform as many reps with good technique as fits in a reps calculator for the my max weight. So both the explosiveness & rep range theories I think are a bit off (sport science is a soft science based mainly off observation so there are few absolutes hence although the mentioned theories "make sense" they aren't true absolutely). However, I agree that there is little lateral movement/stability recruitment and forward & back movement (the stability is trained somewhat on that plane) and no rotational strength trained through powerlifting. Powerlifting is great for training foundational strength, but if one wants to get into sport specific exercises, then it's best to train that once you have already reached a foundational level of strength. For many people training different modalities right from the get go can be very confusing and lead to technique breakdown so I'd recommend getting proficient at one training modality first...maybe aiming for a x1 bodyweight bench, x1.5 bodyweight squat x2 bodyweight deadlift before starting the kettlebells or reaching a basic level of kettlebell training (which I'm not quite sure how you measure) and then supplement with powerlifting. PS: It might sound like I am very pro powerlifting and that I think it's superior to kettle bell training. I see the flaws in it (I've been training martial arts for 8 years and powerlifting for 3 hears and saw a girls the other day who's lighter than me hitting harder because she was able to explode forward & rotate better), but I also see where its supposed weak points are over exaggerated. PPS: I actually mainly train with my bodyweight & dumbells but see the "big three" lifts as a great way to monitor my progress (especially when I was first starting out).

[@somedude84961]

@@carlo_hd858 weightlifting (olympic lifting) is very explosive, and very lower body focused. Snatch, clean and jerk, back/front/overhead squats, snatch and clean pulls are the most basic and necessary movements to progress. They're also just various forms of Squat and Deadlift, so you've got the lower body covered for the most part. If you look at elite olympic lifters though, many (not all) have less than aesthetic looking physiques because the vast majority of their training is lower body focused. Calisthenics is the polar opposite, relying almost entirely on upper body strength and explosiveness. Muscle ups, pull ups, ring dips, push-ups, the list of challenging exercises never ends. For the legs you only really have pistol squats, air squats, and lunges, and those aren't very scalable long term. Many top calisthenics atheletes, hell even male gymnasts, have disproportionately smaller legs relative to their upper body. The other big reason I like pairing the two is relative vs absolute strength. Weightlifting is hard numbers and past a certain point it is almost necessary to gain weight to progress, but with calisthenics being lighter is more advantageous. You're never going to be doing one arm planches if you're also training weightlifting seriously, but basic pull ups, push ups, dips, etc can keep you more well rounded. Also I just like both and would much rather do calisthenics for accessory work than machines and isolation work lol. TLDR: Do what you like, and I like calisthenics and weightlifting.

Climbing also uses legs and core a lot and Parkour also involves hands a lot. I believe training them both can make you a really well rounded athletic person.

Once the powerlifting guys realised I was using it as a means to an end the coach put me on Wendler 5/3/1 which focuses on strength and strength endurance also giving room for other conditioning if required. I recommend reading the book but there is also a fantastic calculator online which will spit out a month of training for you at a time. Never looked back.

I'd love to see a video/program on Calistenthics/Powerlifting. I have been training this way as well doing MMA and found amazing dynamic strength and power gains that really apply well to Jiujitsu grappling, striking power and wrestling power/endurance.

[@josemarialaguinge]

Just as I wanted to try powerlifting, let's go.

[@Chris-od6he]

Can you add a program to the functional aesthetic video (Bodybuilding and Functional training)

[@ngatihonky]

Nice combo. How about a 3 or 4 or 5 day split with an aim of hypertrophy combing free weights & kettlebells?

[@domajtic7661]

Hey love your channel thanks for all the great videos. I train mainly with steel clubs. What do you think would be a better pairing steel clubs, and free weights or steel club and bodyweight training?

[@Adastra14]

I've been involved in crossfit for the past two years. but these past 6 months I've been focusing on powerlifting, kettlebell, and calisthenics programming. am still doing 2 metcons per week plus conditioning. so far so good!

[@jacobespinoza8901]

I want to see you combined more work out styles

[@olivercromwell2912]

hi love your channel. got a couple of questions, not related to this vid but others you have done. 1) is dynamic tension, where the muscles are intensely contracted and moved slowly, just the same as isometrics but moving? 2) is it possible to say which is better for martial arts, dynamic tension or isometrics, i practice a style of kung fu. thanks

[@melskroon]

Great stuff! I would love if you could cover running and kb as a combo. I've seen several video's of other fitness YTers say you shouldn't combine cardio with strength, because they cancel each other out (to a degree). What's your take on it? Also maybe as an additional interest: how to train for OCR?

[@CephlonMayngrum]

Everyone should train for balance

[@gezzapk]

@@CephlonMayngrum these people are talking out their ass, seems like anyone on KZbin can be a qualified personal trainer. Obviously if you want to gain size or strength then you don't want to be running marathons. Depends on your long term goals but they don't "cancel each other out" your body adapts to whatever demands you give it.

[@xyzyzx1253]

Yeah I’m afraid that’s BS, you can train cardio and weights at the same time, and a better cardio vascular system means better recovery and more gains, Bioneer has done a video on it

[@melskroon]

@@xyzyzx1253 thanks! Could you link that video for me?

[@lifesgreat4617]

I was waiting for this video for a while now, I actually enjoy it. Although I would incorporate this in my powerlifting regimine, I'm still trying to figure out how to add Calisthenic Skills in the mix? If you could do a video on how mix in Calisthenics Skills and Powerlifting, that would help me out a lot

[@samuelgarcia1734]

I would. Like yo know what you think of mixing enduro trimming and kettlebell

[@curtissjamesd]

I have to disagree about the hypertrophy benefits of kettlebell training, I find that doing hammer curls with kettlebell activates a lot of stabilizing muscles that traditional dumbbells don't, adjust the rep range for the weight difference and you can get a good amount of volume.

[@creativetraininghacks]

Since you asked: Yes, I love the pairing of those two training modalities (powerlifting and kettlebell training) so much that I merged them together in one new exercise variation using an innovatively assembled device: goblet squats with a "ringbell" - as shown in my latest video. It's basically a hybrid between a sumo deadlift (from powerlifting) and a goblet squat (from kettlebell training).

[@stephenbraley8299]

Adam, just want to say thank you for the hard work and dedication. Inspiring and motivating for me. Just wanted to get your thoughts,and maybe a video, about Bulgarian bags for working out. Specifically Suples. I’ve begun dabbling in it myself. Very interesting and a great change of pace and functionality right off the top. Keep up the great work!! Stephen….

[@greenland5495]

love your work, truly brilliant stuff ... have a question ... have u ever covered a minimalist workout (gains and/or maintain gains or both segment) ie.. minimal sets/reps required ... curious to see your enlightening approach ... thanx again

[@westphalianstallion4293]

Like many other here in the comment I have come to this same conclusion, but I phrase it differently. You should load your main lifts like a power lifter (5/3/1 WSB are the systems I am experienced in), perform them like an olympic athlete,(full range of motion, front squats instead of powerlifting sq etc.), add some 50´s barbell and dumbell hypertrophy work, 19 century KB, club, mace, bulgarian bag work and do cardio by doing your sport at a jogging pace.

[@ashton-entrepnuer2784]

Hey man! Love the videos! Was wondering if you could make one on training in the snow for endurance or fighting as winter is coming up

[@RunsFarRidesFar]

im a distance athlete and soldier. I love myself some hours of running and riding. Kettlebell and calisthenics training has kept me from getting injured doing all the activities I love and hate to participate in. If I can't run because of my location, I can still train my cardio systems through volume-filled training with my 24kg bell I take with me wherever I go. I most recently ran a 50k with very minimal training due to work, and I believe im uninjured because of that training.

[@nicocontreras5366]

It´s great because not many can lift olympic style at home so it´s better to mix heavy lifting with the powerlifting excercises and kettlebells for other reasons like combat sports conditioning.

[@TheKagar]

Thank you for Upload :)

[@DedicatedSpartan]

Could you do one on recovering from hyperextension, specifically in your arms.

[@Mjknvhjjnh]

Can you make a video about how to train like Jin Kazama from Tekken Bloodline series please

[@Number1DriversSeat]

What are the best books on kettlebell training?

[@theyoungfool.1895]

If you train to exert everything each lift, that’s what your body will do for each step. If you train to reserve energy for the next lift and the next lift, that’s what your body will do for each step.
