Unless you weight train probably not even one. A 70lb KB is more difficult to lift over your head than you think.

i am a rather big guy and when i met valery for the first time i thought he broke my hand after shaking it! valery and andrew durniat both got me started into kettlebells. i first met them at the arnold classic. i talked mostly to andrew, he was very down to earth not arrogant at all. he took the time to explain everything to me about kettlebell lifting within a 10 min conversation. i recommend kettlebells to everybody i know now when it comes to making gains in strength and endurance.

As a martial artist, I used to think I was in good shape. It took only one kettlebell workout to really put me in my place. I was toasted muscularly and metabolically. So it does humble you!

Mate when the shoulder is abducted and externaly rotated it is in the weakest possition regarding tendon strains and dislocation. The shoulder may be able to get to that possition but its an unstable possition to put load on it. That is why we dont pull or press behind our heads. Its not a death sentence but its a a risk that is not necessary when you can achieve the same results in a safe way

Luckily this doesn't apply to EVERY kb-user. I've trained with heavyweight girya world champion Vasily Ginko in Latvia, and he's one of the most humble guys I've met. And he looks more like a power lifter than a girevik. I train brazilian jiu jitsu, and it's usually the least skilled guys who think they are tough as hell. With experience comes perspective and humbleness.I use kettlebells most for cardio and core-strength, and add heavy barbell deadlifts and presses for strength and mass.

A kettlbell in itself doesn't make you neither tough nor strong, as little as a barbell does. It's whether you use it right, whether you apply the correct technique to reach whatever goal you have. The same way you can use a barbell for power lifting, olympic style lifting or doing sissy weight biceps curls - you can also use kettlebells different ways - you can train ballistics, you can train grinding exercises and you can train core.Get it? |
