  1. Kettlebell Thoughts on Dumbbell -> Kettlebell Grip Converters?

    I am going to be traveling a lot this year and hotels usually have a limited range of kettlebells, if they have any at all. Can this dumbbell grip be a sufficient alternative to turn a dumbbell into a kettlebell? https://www.amazon.com/Jayflex-Hyperbell-Kettlebell-Adjustable-Fitness/dp/B0B5JXJWPV
  2. Other/Mixed Anyone have any experience with loaded carries for 30 minutes or longer?

    Hello all, For the past half year I've been going on a one hour walk daily. It's nice being out in nature and I feel that it helps me with recovery from my main workout (less soreness when I do it). Life has gotten hectic lately though: I am a full time nursing student that also has clinicals...

    Kettlebell Dumbbell Swing Variations

    Hi all and Happy New Year to you. A quick question - if you only have access to dumbbells what are your preferred 'swing' variations or alternatives? Seems like there's quite a few and none seem to replace the kettlebell but I only have dumbbells for the time being so was interested to know...
  4. Other/Mixed Should you do more reps if using dumbbells with 50/20 program?

    Hello all, I've been doing the 50/20 program for awhile (although not always consistently) as my sole training program. I've been doing sandbag clean and presses for two days a week and sandbag zercher squats for two days a week. This week I've stopped using the sandbag for clean and presses...
  5. Kettlebell Dumbbell swings?

    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...

    Other/Mixed Alpha/Beta Protocol from simpleXstrong

    Hi @Pavel Macek After you mentioned it during SF Resilient in Paris, I took a look at your program. As I'm usually on quite a lot of business trips with access to poorly equiped gyms these exercises seem to be a great alternative to my S&S when I'm abroad. I would like to use my coronavirus...

    Barbell Barbell/dumbbell alternative exercise for KB Snatch

    Recently I started incorporating A+A (or HIRT) work into my strength routine. Unfortunately the heaviest kettlebell in my gym is 28kg which feels too light for me to generate maximum power - I can comfortably snatch 32kg for reps. On the other side there are barbells, and fixed dumbbell options...
  8. Barbell Some Dumbbell Resources

  9. Barbell RKC "Program Minimum" with Dumbbell, anyone try?

    In the original Russian Kettlebell Challenge, Pavel recommends using a light dumbbell, (10-30lbs) for snatching, 2-3 times a week, with optional Bent Pressing. Has anyone tried this protocol actually using a dumbbell? What would be different about this program using a dumbbell? I'd imagine...
  10. Barbell Improvised carries implement using a dumbbell bar

    There were a few discussions recently about farmer's walks. If you don't have specialized equipment, one way of performing them at home it to load 2 barbells. However, I find that grip becomes a limiting factor really fast, especially if you are not perfectly centered on the bar. That's fine if...
