I'm 71 with a pace maker and I started kettlebells a year ago. I refused to sit around and let my body deteriorate and now I am stronger than I have ever been. I stand up straight now and feel my core is just awesome now. My doctor was amazed at how cut I was! I learned from you and Mark Wildman the proper technic and I'm so grateful man thank you!

my answers: 1. KB hard style swings could cause back pain, while "sport atyle" swings could heal it! (personal experience) 2. i think that a bad technique with KB could cause injuries, but you don't need a "perfect" technique. i personaly went to a KB coach to learn the basic movements and i recommend every one to do so. like Lebe Stark said, the enjoyment when you master the technique is amazing! 3. KB (with a reasonable technique) is the best thing you could do for your joints! i experienced problems only when i used too heavy weights instead of gradually upload. 4. i ripped my hands only with snatches, only when i used too heavy weights. 5. KB builds a body between a runner and a bodybuilder bc KB are a combination of weight and endurance. so you wouldnt be look like a body builder, you wouldn't be look like a runner, but you would be look like the "middle" of both

I'm 44 and started training with the bells about two months ago. I've lost almost 20 pounds in that time. I have a ways to go, but I feel stronger than I have in more than 20 years.

I got my first kettlebell in oct last year. 25lbs. In 3 months I had more muscles in my legs then all the years I was training with dumbbells. Now i have 2 20kg kettlebells and my gains skyrocketed.

I would dare say that when learning the swing and snatch it is important that your kettlebell is NOT too light. You ought to feel the ballistic element of the movement, you need to feel where the bell wants to go - this by itself forces you to assume the correct form; if the bell is too light one is almost sure to make the excercise wrong.

I love the term gate keeper. Why is it people all over the world seem to have want to certify everything. I’ve learnt kettlebells by watching and trying. I’ve been practicing 15 years no injuries. I’ve got better with consistent practice and seeing results. Fit at 56 all the naysayers about kettlebell training if you don’t like them train with your own choice of modality. Stop bashing the bells 🔔. Use them how you want just enjoy what you do and like.

Kettlebells have made a huge difference for me. They have helped me strengthen my back more than any other tool! I have been careful to learn how to do kettle bell swings with lighter weight and I continue to watch your videos to improve my technique all the time. I started using 15 lb bells and have now gotten up to a 30 lb bell. I'm a kettle bell convert, that's for sure!

bought my first KB 25lbs in 2019, learnt the technique using this light wt baby and now i swing 53 lb. i will say, once you get the technique, you move up very fast. if you want to go pass the 24 Kg ( 53 lbs ) , you better be good with your technique!

I always have to laugh whenever I hear Myth #1. The MAIN reason I started using kettlebells in the first place (beyond fat burning/strength/muscle/athleticism/GPP/etc) was to prevent back pain as I age.

I suppose you can test it by having a controlled study. Take six people three using conventional weight and three doing kettlebell then compare them after a time period of six weeks or longer

@albrecht-sebastianwitte-re4280 6 ай бұрын

Personally I see it this way: Kettlebells do build muscle, but it's rather those muscles you can use and less those that you can show.

"Go Muscles" vs. "Show Muscles"

@eamonob84 5 ай бұрын

Yep, exactly. I never understood the reasoning of people who think lifting and swinging a heavy piece of steel or iron over and over will not make you stronger or build muscle. In what world is that the case?

@albrecht-sebastianwitte-re4280 5 ай бұрын

@@eamonob84 I think it's because the very term "to build muscle" is widely associated with bodybuilding and machine-centered gyms, and I suppose that this is how Gregory uses it here. Of course, in its neutral sense "to build muscle" just means hypertrophy, regardless of which muscles are meant. But there is often more sense to a certain term than its strictest sense.

I know why I'm not too fond of your form. Its when you swing with your legs you off with the right leg then the left leg follows which makes you Jerk plus the weight is too heavy when you come back down through the legs it sort of pulls you in meaning you lose control of the Kettlebell. You are supposed to use your hips and thrust through which you clearly do not do. However, with your imperfect form, you look like you have put on weight on the upper body.

He uses more of a soft style technique. Unlike in the hardstyle, where the technique is more “rigid” , soft style allows for more individual variation, because every body will have a different “more efficient” pattern to swing the kettlebell

@yosefco3 6 ай бұрын

his form is perfect from the viewpoint of efficiency. there is more than one way to do a KB swing.

@eamonob84 5 ай бұрын

Sport style uses a different hinge than hard style kettlebell. It’s more of a pendulum to generate momentum rather than the type of hinge you’d use for something like a deadlift.
