Hello everyone!
I'm new to kettlebells training, having recently acquired a 16kg KB as well as copies of both S&S and ETK. I've started following the S&S programme using my 16kg KB and am already making progress, however I am unsure as to what weight of KB I should be moving up to once I'm ready to move beyond the 16kg KB.
S&S recommends jumping up to a 24kg KB, which follows the logic that greater stimulation for neuromuscular adaptation is facilitated when faced with a sudden and significant weight increase however, as I am quite a small guy (I weigh around 144lbs/65kg at 5'9") and would be required to perform an SFG snatch test with a 20kg KB (as per the SFG 2017 testing standards), do you think it would be worth moving up to a 20kg first?
