First Post
Hello. Long time lurker, first time poster here. I love this forum. I’m a huge fan of strength training, and the Strongfirst principles are right up my alley.
I’ve recently re-developed an interest in kettlebell training after reading S&S. I’d really love to pursue the simple standard, but right now I only have an 8 kg and a 16 kg bell. For now that is adequate as I’m still working on power output and really nailing my technique. However, at some point I’ll need more intensity.
Unfortunately I have two problems: first KBs are really hard to come by where I am right now and second, due to having a family and a kid with dental issues I have more important places to put my money.
Long story short, I’m wondering what folks here think about doing DB sings instead of KB swings as a temporary solution. I have DBs, so the money and availability issues are taken care of. I’m pretty sure that swinging a DB and a KB of equal weight is not the same thing, but would it be good enough for now in my current situation until I can increase my KB selection?
Thanks for any and all input.
