kettlebell

Hi all, I just wrapped up a month with @Geoff Neupert ’s KB Burn Extreme program and thought I’d share my experience and results for anyone else considering doing it. As with everything, YMMV. Why should you care: Let's start with the top-line results Weight loss: 17.5 pounds (199.5 -> 182)...

I came across this article from Tim Ferris ( The Painless Path to Endurance (Plus: Breville Winner and More) ) in which he more or less discussed the training routine from this SOF guy called Victor, who is quote: "He was capable of a strict pullup with 160 pounds of extra weight, at a...

Hello all, Long time lurker, first time poster here. I've been following S+S for about the past year and last week got to feeling fully comfortable with Simple Timeless - I managed 6 sessions in 7 days, all with the 32kg, and felt great! Witness, if you will, my wonderfully neatly logged...

I'm curious to hear about how folks have achieved a heavier than 1/2BW kb press... Thanks!

I am about to jump back into S&S training after about a year off. My whole routine and life has changed completely since I was last practicing and now the only time I can set aside to practice is in the evening after dinner. Does anyone have any recommendations on the minimum time one should...

As stated in a previous post I'm returning to kettlebell simple and sinister. What stopped me last time was my single armed swing. Started back with the 24kg bell yesterday, need to fix my grip positioning but any other form corrections would be great. Today was my second practice back and I...

So I did about 4-6 months of S&S, only to drop it about this time last year. Since then I've played with some more barbell based programs like easy strength. Last time I encountered a major road block, that being my physical size. For context I'm a 5'7 BJJ featherweight, my usual weight is...

Hi all, I'm new here. Im wondering if anyone has experience with KB swings with Mortons toe.(Mortons toe is when your second and third toes arre longer than your thumb toe) Im having trouble screwing my feet ito the ground leading to less balance. Thanks

I'm wrapping up week 1 of 501G today and am wondering if anyone here has attempted or completed this program. If so, what was your experience? What did the rest of your programming look like? Did you achieve the 44kg press? Thanks!

I have questions about kettlebell swing height and strength. Lately I’ve been going heavier and decided I should only swing to float at shoulder height. I have Pavel’s original recommendations for what a male trainee might want (16,24,32kg) so more swing strength means uneven doubles until I...

Hello all- Hope to be dropping in for a long time to come. Total newbie to this and to weights in general. 62 yr old male; my activities have been swimming (20 min. kilometer and out..) and almost daily walking in the hills near our home, in Jerusalem. No injuries that impede mobility; my...

Hi Guys/ Gals Wondering if you might be able to share your opinions on something. I started @Geoff Neupert s Long Haul program from More KB Muscle in January and I am having trouble finishing the program, its murder. I managed to get to week 8 with no problem using a pair of 12kg bells. It is...

I don't know whether anyone is currently complying with this program. Started a new thread, because the previous one is closed. Here's the old Kettlebell - The Red Zone (Pavel, T. Program) and here's the program Bodybuilding Success Blueprint: The Red Zone - Weighing between this RZ program and...

Hi dear collegues! I have been training using kettlebells for a wile now, but its been some months that I feel stuck. I started doing S&S with a 20kg bell but I found it quite boring so I started Kettlebel STRONG! and loved it. I run it with double 20kg, when I finished I managed to do 13 reps...

Pavel published a great article/program for A+A using C&J. I have two full weeks under my belt and started week 3 today. The early results have been noticeable, especially in strength and fat reduction. The one thing I really have enjoyed running a session and then doing some mobility work...

Hey there. I've been lurking here for awhile now and finally decided to sign up. I wanna get your thoughts on something and hopefully I'll have something useful to contribute down the line. My focus is distance running and I've come to realize that a lack of overall fitness is what ends up...

I’m sure this has been asked already but I’m trying to figure out what different kettle bell programs offer given the amount of overlap they all seem to have when it comes to ‘checking all the boxes’. Asked another way, why would I choose Simple and Sinister vs Kettlebell Strongfirst (Bhutto...

Hey All, Just wondering your thoughts about replacing the DL’s in PTTP with Zercher Squats? Goals are GPP with the plan to compete in the spring and fall TSC’s as a way to monitor progress. I have decided to follow Brett Jones article “To Every Season: A simple way to Structure A Year of...

Hello. I'm reading the forum for a while and like to salute all of you strong people! I started S+S in March 2020 with a 20kg and 26kg bell. Made progress pretty soon and love it all the way. I'm not about going any heavier. I'm like 70kg/ 154 lbs and I feel complete satisfied and pretty...

Hello Strongfirst. For some background, I am a 19 year martial artist with 15 years of training in kyokushin karate and now a beginner in BJJ. In high school, I got into lifting through stronglifts 5x5 and became obsessed with fitness and lifting heavy. In a year I hit a 290lbs squat for 5 sets...
