  1. Kettlebell How heavy should my kettlebell be for swings?

    I’m somewhat familiar with KB swings and I’ve worked to practice proper form in the past. I used a 35lbs Kb back then but I was much weaker and probably should’ve used a lighter weight. The coming weeks are going to be physically taxing on me and I wanted to switch to a gtg style of training...
  2. New Book for Taming Arc in Ballistics

    Anybody see this yet? Aleks Salkin SFG II wrote it and Pavel Macek did the foreword. He’s got some really handy drills that make taming the different arc in the ballistic lifts a lot easier and faster. Amazon.com: Tamers of the Lost Arc: Insider Tips on Smashing Your Plateaus, Kickstarting...
  3. Barbell Combining barbell russian countdown with swings

    Hi all, I just attended the Barbell 201 : Stand Strong workshop. I'd be happy to go into the Russian Countdown program (Zercher squat and military press 3x/week). I'm also very interested in keeping swinging a KB. I reached Simple last year and I feel like I need some kind of conditioning as...
  4. Kettlebell Spreading out swing sets during the day

    Posting for my son, a busy young father who doesn't have time to get in a full session of swings in one shot. At work, he's now started to do a set of 10 and then another 10 five or ten minutes later. 5 times a day, whenever he gets a break. He just started doing this regularly the past...

    Other/Mixed Adding KBs to a Beginner LP Progression

    Hey all, I am currently doing the Greyskull LP program, and specifically the Phraks Variant - very similar to Starting Strength 3x5. However, due to time/work restraints, I am now only able to go to the gym twice per week - Fridays and Sundays. So, I was thinking about exercising at home with...

Been experimenting with Q+D (3 days a week) and really enjoying, I do it early morning and rest for 10 or so mins before doing some interval based/anerobic cardio from Tactical Barbell.

    Kettlebell Opinions on From Simple to Sinister training plan

    Hi everyone, I have a quick question for those who have tried out the ‘From Simple to Sinister’ training plan Pavel created a few years ago. I only have a 36kg bell available to me, and I’m working on reaching the ‘Timed’ standards. I’ve been training S&S since April now and absolutely love it...
  9. Kettlebell Knee Crepitus - Swings

    Hello, I have been training KBs consistently for about a year now, following simple and sinister and youtube instruction as much as I can. I recently saw an SFG to work on my form a bit. I immediately noticed a difference in my swing (for the better) with just a few tweaks on feet placement...

    Kettlebell How to make swings less boring ...

    I'm ok with boring, but I'm not the only person involved. My daughter is 13, and wants to be stronger in order to be faster for sprinting in the track season in the spring. She is fairly strong already, she can perform a standing back tuck, for example. She has deadlifted 155 at 120 lbs. (In...
  11. Kettlebell Simple easy, beyond... not so much (grip issues with swings beyond 32kg)

    Okay so, I've been using (& loving S&S) for some time now and regularly do 'Simple' timeless a couple of times a week and time myself doing it now and then to make sure I haven't "lost it" over the past couple of years. So far, things are very good in this department. Additionally, I have...

  14. Barbell How Much Do KB Swings Affect Recovery for Barbell Training?

    I'm doing the standard GSLP program which focuses on bench, OHP, squats, and deadlifts. I do a minimum amount of plug-ins (accessory lifts) per the program. Specifically, alternating each workout lying tricep extension and rows/CG Bench and assisted chin ups. All done 3 x 5-8. I want to get...

    I am on the S & S protocol. Currently on 24kg. I have slight pain in my right knee on the insight. Could this be from doing the swings wrong?

    Kettlebell Kettlebell Swing Technique Feedback

    Hello everyone, I was wondering if you could give me some feed back on my 2 handed kettlebell swing. I attached a video of me performing the 2 handed swing, the swing feels good but it looks like maybe I’m not getting deep enough in the bottom of the swing. Should I be bending my knees more at...
