Onnit Kettlebell Basic Instruction for Beginners | Brandon McElroy

[@gigong8125]

Sir, this was the most complete instructional presentation shown. I’ve seen in brief easy to follow and understand. Very to the point. Bravo sir.

[@jrnandretangen1616]

Easy to follow, clear, concise and to the point. Nice!

[@deadharvest29]

Concerning the bending of the knees with the swing: From what I've studied on this movement (Steve Cotter being another great reference), you keep a shallow bend of the knees to focus this exercise on what it was intended for- hip explosion, posterior chain development, core. If you bend the knees too much, you're now incorporating the quads, which is fine, but it takes the emphasis off of the purpose of the exercise.

[@Joker4King]

Awesome vid! Thanks man!

[@SchuyFit]

Awesome and helpful tips.

[@darbyogill5771]

Well done Noddy great video

He must be in phenomenal shape! He made that all look effortless, not even a single heavy breath!

[@ronin6327]

great tutorial vid

[@MincraftPartner]

Thats amazing to hear! Gives me hope! Problem is I ended up pulling my lats right near my lower back. Probably bad form, still recovering (did it last Thursday) so I need to bit a bit more concious on my form when I do the swing.

[@8radr]

Man...nicely done video.

[@Nefty2007]

thank you

[@tubadude07]

right on, I mainly do the swings for now

[@gypsyjew8333]

thanks man

[@solsberry3]

I've been very interested in purchasing my first set of bells after hearing joe rogan praise them on his podcast for some time now thanks for the video and keep up the hard work

[@Zarek523]

I can't wait to purchase my first set of bells, and this is a great video for a beginner like me. What kind of shoes were you wearing?

[@loray012995]

It works great and is easy to operate

[@travis02]

Thanks man...

[@nemtizz]

Good shit. Any other tutorials planned?

[@helmsdeep48]

[@18WheelerDriver]

This guy is a monster, holy crap.

[@jasonsol73]

Where did you get that sweet workout pad you are using??

[@larrypheavbeach]

I have almost the same body as you. I got the 35 lb kettlebell and man its heavy haha. I think its perfect for swinging with where I am at physically right now, but in terms of the russian get up and such I won't due them, primarily because I don't want to damage my shoulders. I feel like a lighter weight would be nice.

[@gypsyjew8333]

So just to check and make sure I understand this right, when I'm doing a swing I shouldn't be bending my knees? they should only be slightly bent and I should be pushing mainly with my hips? every other video i've seen they are bending their knees greatly.

[@matu4251]

35lbs is the standard weight to begin with for male. It will be good to get you started with basics like swing, clean, military press and snatch.You'll outgrow it eventually if you want to develop power but 35lbs is more than enough for longer routines for times (check out VWC, AOS). The best starting place would definitely be Enter the Kettelbell by Pavel. It will teach you good form and the routine is excellent.

[@fragileforce]

anyone know what gym/yoga mat that is?

[@albertopiechele]

Ottima didattica!

[@js83]

How often do we do kettlebell workouts per week? anyone know? thanks

[@Ice03333]

I'm 5'11/ 175 pounds. I have a history of squatting 305 for reps of 5 and deadlifting 350 or so. What weight would you recommend? I know Rogan says that he uses 45 but I wanted to see what others would say also.

[@tubadude07]

Would 20-25 pound kettlebells good for a shorter guy? I'm 5'4, 135ish, I feel like 35 pounds would be a lot to start with.

[@HammerDave]

Should I be starting with two Kettlebells or is just one fine?

[@MuzzafuzzaGaming]

Got my 45lb kettlebell! Time to kick shit into high gear.

[@Nefty2007]

what are those shoes he wearing?

[@Tyty-bean]

i got two 15 Ib kettle bells and a 25 Ib kettle bell and it suprized me at how heavy the were.

[@buffalosteve287]

What callouses?

[@bleedsblubleedsblu]

Powerful Joe Rogan, OG man

[@SoCalDude805]

When my first 35lb kettlebell arrived, I was also shocked at how heavy it was. I was like, how the f**k am I going to be swinging this thing around. After a week of just doing basic exercises, the kettlebell felt significantly lighter. Now 3 weeks later, I'm doing 2-3 sets of 10 kettlebell snatches. The first day it arrived, I would of never thought I could do a snatch. Just walk around with the kettlebell holding it on each hand for a couple of minutes at a time, get used to the weight.

[@IXIDORco2]

did this work out for the first time yesterday, and today the backs if my wrists hurt, very painful to bring my bell into a clean. should I push through it, or give them a day off? the actual joints feel great, its just tender where the bell rests in a clean.

[@Seekertopath]

Jared Havens You might be banging your forearms while doing cleans. Watch Pavel Tstatoline's kettlebell instruction instead.

[@hawie2]

I know very little about weight lifting; how do those swinging motions not fuck up your back?

[@jasonsol73]

Always start light and work your way up. It's easier to learn the movements with a lighter weight too...

[@Matt_Gifford]

I've been experimenting with different schedules and I've come to be a big fan of separating kb workouts with a day of running. So, to answer your question, 3 or 4 days per week has been very challenging but great for me

[@sidrival8731]

500th like. What'd I win?

[@dqzj565]

I see people swinging with bent arms, should the arms be straight or bent when swinging ? 🤔

[@obzen33]

I am not an expert on this but i would imagine that you could bend at the knees a little more to incorporate a squat with the swing. I do a lot of one handed swings with a 30lb kettlebell and i bend a bit more at the knee but always keep the back straight. Like i said though i am not a professional.

[@johnndamascene]

Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night... ALL DAY!

[@Functionalplay]

The GAMING KETTLEBELL is here!!!!

[@hansmeyer4800]

Why no hip action and glute and quad flex at the top of swing?! What's going onnit?

[@bobdownard]

Also, at the end of the turkish get up, he needs to roll to the right side to put the weight down like he did at the beginning of the rep.

[@Kev80ification]

Hans Meyer Ya I was thinking the same. I am no expert on this but he seems to use very little hip movement!

[@SoCalDude805]

Just got my kettlebell, 35 lbs is pretty heavy. I honestly think 35lbs should be for people who are somewhat fit and lift weights, if you don't lift any weights at all and want to start kettlebells, maybe go for 25 lbs to start out.

What size weights are these?

[@chengyman2009]

[@gonczy29]

Love onnit labs and all their products! If you use "brainiac" as your code you will save on all their products! Stay onnit;)

[@majjicgnome]

I have a history of NEVER lifting weights. Glad I talked myself out of getting anything heavier than the 20lb ones. Even the 20lb ones feel heavy but i think I can manage. It's not that you are only lifting the kettlebell but additionally you are controlling it, holding on to it, and not losing your grip.

[@RichieJFAflleje]

He's got a nice looking snatch.

[@hiphopinfukuoka]

We’re you a former Seal or Scoot? Just asking

kettle bells and battle ropes SONNNNN manly fucking workouts

Vibram Five Fingers.

[@Matt_Gifford]

I started with one 25lb, moved up to the 35lb and am ready for a 45lb. With one kb, this is by far the best workout I have ever done...ever. And I didn't buy my kb from onnit, so I'm not just blowing smoke up their ass. Just one is totally fine.

[@LoveSecurity]

I want to purchase but finish is really important on KB's. . . how do I know Onnit KBs are of proper finish? TL;DR - will you refund the KB if the finish blows.

[@Matt_Gifford]

I'm 6'4" and was 225lbs and kinda out of shape (cardio wise) when I bought a 25lb kb. I'm glad I got the 25lb because I got to develop good form. Within a few weeks, I moved up to the 35lb and that thing felt like a beast but it was good and challenging. It's been 4 months and I'm ready for the 45lb kb. To answer your question, 25lbs would be ideal to get your form down then move to the 35lb. If your budget is tight, start with 35lbs but BE CAREFUL. These things are no joke and a GREAT workout

[@joefish6546]

35lbs is NOT a starting weight for anyone. If you are just starting, are male and otherwise healthy, a single 25lbs bell will challenge you, I.e. you can still hurt yourself. You will not necessarily hurt yourself during the workout either, the pain can build from repetitive strain, so after a few weeks, take a break and let the inflammation in tendons and joints recover. Start your reps LOW with this bell. 3 days a week, 20-30mins. Rest between sets. Don't push.

i'm here because of Tom Taylor..

[@SoCalDude805]

Look up Steve Cotter here on youtube, he has some of the best instructional videos for kettlebell workouts.

[@hallo73828]

This guy cant even do a kettlebell swing but makes an instructional video wtf onnit

[@jelenakrstic2528]

hi everyone ,if anyone else is searching for workouts with kettlebells try Wiltapar Bell Expert Secrets (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my cousin got excellent results with it.

[@zippyzee]

Dude you need to pop your hips more.

[@sativaedibles]

I wonder what his neighbors think of him

[@KevBeachler]

Get some sun on those pasty white legs!

[@highjim7778]

maybe he isnt a fan of cancer............

[@Eryan724]

nope

[@TheBoostHeroMan]

35 pounds about 15kg

[@Rolin900]

why do you say that?

[@Jreyes2265]

It seems as if regular dumbbells are more of a challenge, isolated, and quicker to get your workout.

[@sspimpmasterflex]

Don't listen to this guy. Just go as low as u can, don't force your body or you might risk injures.

[@AndyS52]

This guy's swing form is horrendous. I can't believe you ever posted this video and that you haven't deleted it since.

[@LyonsLeo]

Almost ZERO hip extension in the swings at 1:30 of this video. Couldn't watch much beyond that point as Mr. McElroy's form is really bad. Check out Steve Maxwell or Steve Cotter for much better references of basic technique.

[@GSF209Ryder]

I see what you, you know, did there. Hella cool if you ask me, but whatever.

[@SoCalDude805]

flipping kettlebells? ha, I'd be too scared of it falling my foot.

[@thejap83]

No, it's called a rock-bottom squat, and you should be doing it that low. Watch when Olympic lifters snatch, they go that low.

[@MrJayspeaks]

500 straight without putting it down. Can we see that?

[@drip369]

1 kettlebell or two. Yeah, sir, that's diversity.

[@drip369]

[@joe.nail1]

Is anyone not here because of Joe Rogan? lol didn't think so.

[@agukasem]

This video is about how NOT to do Kettlebell swings.

[@MincraftPartner]

I bought a kettlebell today, one 35lb on and I can barely do that with two hands... How the fuck does this guy do two 35lb and doing a press is beyond me.

[@KarthikSoun]

this looks so silly that i am afraid the alpha brain i ordered is going to be another spoof. Its 2weeks since i did a international ordered and there is no intimation of what hap to my order.

[@dyefrey]

Hey, have you considered "Musclegends" (just search Google)? There you can watch a good free video featuring the right way to grow noticeable muscle mass fast. It helped Ryan to break through his muscle mass building plateau and consequently develop chiseled muscle without fat very quickly. Hopefully it will work for you too.

[@richardswaby6339]

Your toes are coming of the ground when you are doing the swing. Feet should remain flat on the ground. I stopped watching when I saw that
