  1. Kettlebell Please review my kettlebell clean motion

    Hi. I am currently practicing performing a right-handed and left-handed clean with a 12kg kettle-bell. I would appreciate a brief review and comment on my form as posted in below videos. I am still in "practice" phase, and I assume I will need many reps over months to get it right. Random...

  3. Kettlebell Feedback on Swing and Getup

    Started Simple and Sinister today! I would appreciate some feedback on my swing and getup form! Thanks in advance! Sorry for the whack audio, but the slo-mo is cool.
  4. Kettlebell Is it acceptable to perform double cleans with kettlebells of different weights?

    Hi. I am currently practicing the kettle-bell clean. I practice with a 12kg and 16kg. However, I must eventually transition to performing the double clean. However, my gym does not have enough kettle-bells. It only has the following weights. 2x of 10kg 1x of 12kg 1x of 14kg 1x of 16kg 1x of...
  5. Synching up heavy days

    Was re-reading the RKC and this line caught my eye: "Each session do as few or as many exercises as you wish but do not work equally hard on every one of them." Pavel then explains that a hard day for one exercise should be an easy day for another. I am curious how this method compares to newer...
  6. Kettlebell Form Check: Snatch

    Would you kind enough to check my form and give feedback? I feel like I have different technique between my left and right hand. With my left I tend to swing the KB to parallel and then pull my shoulders and elbow back before thrusting upwards. With my right I tend to pull my shoulder on the...

    Kettlebell Military Press Program

    I hope all is well! Does anyone here have a military press program I could do with S&S on off days? Or a military press program I could use by itself? Would y’all recommend doing pull ups super settled with kettlebell military press? Thank y’all for your posts and advice in advance. Jon B

    Other/Mixed Rucking with plates vs. kettlebell in backpack

    Hi everyone. I spent most of last summer rucking with just my 35lb kettlebell in an old backpack. Worked great, felt great. At the end of the summer I upgraded to a goruck setup with weight plates. I actually don't love the backpack and just prefer the KB approach. Before just going all in on...
  9. Kettlebell Training for a super-duper serious throwing event

    Hey folks, So, every summer me and some friends head out to my friends "cabin" (it's actually an old school with a house attached, his childhood home), and spend a weekend there cooking, drinking and playing sports. Usually these are traditional MANLY events like the shot put, javelin and...

  11. 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...
  12. Kettlebell Q&D for mandated Physical Fitness Test at work?

    Hi everybody, I am new here, so please be gentle:) I am a 40-year-old police officer. Just a couple of weeks ago, I bought Pavel's book about Q&D training method and started training accordingly. I find it great for my needs due to its minimalism and simplicity. Besides crazy working hours as...
  13. Kettlebell Anyone doing only S&S program? Benefits over time?

    I've just bought the online Simple & Sinister course and want to take it seriously. I also want to be minimalistic here so I don't want to pursue multiple programs at once. Has anyone been pursuing this S&S program ONLY and what benefits do you notice after 1 month, 3 months, or 12 months?
  14. Other/Mixed At a hotel gym without kettlebells

    I'm on vacation and couldn't bring my kettlebell on the flight. The hotel gym has an selection of dumbbells and I'm wondering what are some exercises I can do with dumbbells that are similar to kettlebell movements? Or really any strength building movements with dumbbells?

    Kettlebell My S&S one year anniversary

    I had a 12kg bell sitting unused for quite a while before I bought the S&S book last year. I began to experiment a little while reading the book with the different movements, from the warmup to the prying goblet squat. When I came to the Turkish Get Up, I found that 12kg was too heavy as I could...
  16. Olympic 3.0

    Started this a couple weeks ago, after tweaking shoulder and needing to pivot to lighter weight. @32 years old, it seems like it’s tough to put together a full year, or even 6 months without a minor setback. After having a daughter now, I’m finding myself more focused on staying lean and not...
  17. Kettlebell First kettlebell injury (update)

    Greetings everyone, Awhile ago I posted about my first kettlebell injury from doing one arm swings doing “Simple & Sinister” with a 16 kg kettlebell. I took a month long break after feeling the sensation of pulling a muscle in the lower left of my back. I have done Pavel’s RKC program minimum...

    Kettlebell S&S with a press

    I was wondering. For the S&S, can we replace TGU with a strict press? Either waving, or step-loading. For step-loading, we can do 5 sets of 3-5 reps, and gradually replace the bell per set, just like with TGU. And we can try to add reps, if they are below 5. Just in case I will not be able to to...

    Kettlebell Heavy partial getup

    I was wondering: in some programs there is a recommendation to do heavy partial getups. I don't get it. Partial would refer probably to "to the elbow - to the hand" transition and back. This would be the heaviest part of a getup. I just fail to see how loading this heavy is a valid option...
