Crazy Kettlebell Training: Become a Different Kind of Beast! Kettlebell training and exercises

[cancodrillo]

Nice music

[sambone5407]

You sir, are a beast. I'm guessing you don't work out barefoot.

[hdjcnfdj69]

@sambone5407 I would say "no longer work out barefoot" after I dropped the kettlebell on my left foot, which destroyed it completely and it had to be amputated above the knee..

Kidding

Actually, it's not a cannonball, it doesn't fly like one either. Even if you are slower than most people you still have ple-e-enty of time to realize that you dropped the kettlebell and it about to land on your foot and therefore to remove the foot from the landing area.

[thorgalhymn]

good job ,man! i like some of your exercises such as the one where u pull kettlebell with ropes ...

[sebasboner]

keep up the good work dude :D

[kevinomahoney]

The first TGU is HILLARIOUS! I was crawling around the exact same way after my first TGU. I wanted to cry. Keep it up tovarisch.

[PabloG129]

I want to thank you Nikolay for inspiring me! After watching your videos I went to your link and ordered Mahler's Aggressive Strength DVD. It changed my life! Not only Mike shows the exercises, but he also breaks everything down and explains every detail so even for a beginner it's very easy to master all the moves and techniques! I already lost 7 lbs and it's just a beginning! Soon you will be watching my videos on YouTube! Thank you again!

[hdjcnfdj69]

@PabloG129 Welcome to the sport! Everything I know about kettlebells I learned from Mike Mahler. He is one of the greatest instructors when it comes to kettlebells- with his detailed explanations and ability to break down every exercise into smaller meaningful and logical pieces. I would never be where I am right now without his course! Good luck in your path to the new body and new abilities!

The link is under the video.

[m4xfl4xst4r]

DA COMRADE! To lose much chubby, quit the BIG MAC-SKI !!

Seriously though, nice work Nikolay! You make it look easy...and it aint.

Inspirational.

[ydstnsb]

Thats good video hahaha

This music is funny

I think youre very funny

[FuckTheLawNiggas]

hha great vid and rusults you communist basterd!

[mienbuuze]

fantastic video! seems fun too, and made me order a kettlebell, thanks a lot

[tattoodfreeek]

great videos, but the music is just awesome, really puts me in a good mood!!

[wyciskTV]

There's a UFO incoming at 1:33 hahaha I bet you didn't notice :) Good training, mate.

[and1f34]

healthy soul in healthy body

[Kettleboy66]

This is the video that started it all for me. You are an inspiration!

[FlashmoreGash]

Good skills!

[johnnieblaze1974]

i just started kettlebelling i hope i get as good as you this is my first mounth using it and its done wonders for my bad back i feel good. thanks for the vid.

[pepprkake]

Awesome tumble @ 1:57.

[Soymilllk]

Awesome dude!! Keep pumping!

[swole51]

Awesome vid bro! It inspired me to get into kettlebells! I am starting to make some strength, mma and kettlebell videos myself! Maybe I could be a positive influince on others just as you are! Keep up the good work!

[devlog30]

This is great stuff. I love the raw outdoor training. It reminds me of the stories Arnie used to tell of going into the woods with his mate and squatting logs all day!

[cyco2kill]

this is great.... I only have one question: did it ever fall on your foot?

[hdjcnfdj69]

@cyco2kill Negative

[soulofone]

I love the use of the 32kg under water THAT is impressive very VERY nice. I have been doing Girevik sport training for some time now and have noticed a difference in my appetite I am eating huge portions of food now but still losing weight? Anyone else find that?

.

[bubudavid08]

what's the name of the song? anyone? it's addicting!

[BigKSlam]

you are the macgyver of kettlebells

[RAMONES89]

This video is hilarious and heartwarming and I love you.  Good job.

[k2e0t1t1le]

Nikolay,

Do you have a copy of your routines anywhere and what size kettlebell are you using? You make the routine look enjoyable and its very impressive. I have tried it with a small KB and after that I was even more impressed.

[hdjcnfdj69]

@k2e0t1t1le There are no routines, it's just a bunch of different flips and throws I either invented or "borrowed" from somebody else. You can combine them in any order you want. I normally use 16 or 20 kg kettlebell for anything with behind the back release, in front you can flip 32 kg relatively easily (depending on your shape, obviously)

[wailuku]

GREAT JOB! Your form got tighter into the vid, which is great too! Congratulations and I know you will hit your goals!

[amoeba12]

Great work!!

[VikingVolk]

Im a naturally big guy so i started with 62 pounds. Now within a year im tosing the beast and doing overhead snatches. Steroids? NOPE Kettlebells!!!

[lefteri2000]

I feel like joining the circus after watching this.

[LaiskaKettu]

thats good stuff!

[yardgirl1966]

are you married? you are very cute!

[blueferret1978]

Well done...

..but go on.How many times did you drop it and did it ever land on your foot!!

[landroverday]

excellent, good job

[Ramshobraja]

Awesome video!! I'm a fatass right now. I have five kettelbells at home from 45lbs to 106lbs. Just started kb training maybe 3 months ago, not very diligent though I must say.

[mrdave777]

Let me first start out with the most important advice to this video......always wear shoes!

[brainstew232]

AN INSPIRATION!

[Kixat]

doesnt it give a huge impact to your back with all those random movements? (the throwing around)?

[hdjcnfdj69]

@Kixat It does make a huge impact on your back in a positive way. You obviously shouldn't try to juggle a 70 pounder without any training, though.

[TheWhyness]

@Kixat - damn right. my L1 blew just watching this.

[Kixat]

doesnt it give a huge impact to your back with all those random movements? (the throwing around)

[tattoodfreeek]

love this video

[amixofeverything]

That is goddamn amazing...I'm gonna try some of this with my kettlebell.

[KitchenSpeclol]

@amixofeverything tip, start light as possible, master the movement and throws then go heavy. i only had the 50 pound ones and struggled a bit.

[caducoloco]

i gonna try! hohoho

[Jencysergent]

anyja picsáját pörgeti legalább a farmert cserélte volna le...:P

[alstonian78]

hey, iam hapi for you man....

[acieh804]

great job man 

[Driimweever]

Just started KB's about two weeks ago. I love it, but man! I don't think I was ever that tired before. Already seeing gains but have a long way to go. Did you make any big diet adjustments, or was it mostly intense exercise?

[hdjcnfdj69]

@Driimweever I do try not to eat like a pig, but mostly I just exercise.

[igster187]

wonderful job! however, i'm just looking out for you and i'd like to mention that as you do turkish-get-ups, please try to keep your wrist perfectly straight. do not allow the KB to bend the wrist. you'll eliminate long term problems.

overall, i love what you have become. keep up the good work! be the inspiration to us all.

:)

[jimdeacon1]

good job dude, great transformation!

[ayemad]

well done. Ive just started with kettlebells too!

[RadosnyRdq]

Good work , You now look Like BEAR :D

very good job man ! gogogo

[slizzardman]

That is great! I think the kettlebells are a great training tool. Congratulations on your progress!

[noblehatred978]

awesome!! I hate to ask ,but how old are you? I think you are inspirational .You have done a great job .It takes a lot of discipline to make changes that are not always as fun as you make it look .theres a lot of days when people will want to give up .you make it look worthwhile.You reap what you sow

best wishes ,John

[azvideoguy]

That is great! What kind of straps did you use to swing it around?

[jstnhnh]

This guy's a beast.

[ILLINOISISCORRUPT]

Great video, Quite impressive.

[executiveresults]

Love it, really enjoyed watching this and the music is great.

[superant14]

kinda resembles fedor lmao

[ShaolinIronLeg]

Even if you don't like exercise (I love it), I think kettlebells are really fun :p

[tequilero77]

fckng love it man!! hehehe the music goes with the work out too!! hehe you live only once!!!! true!! thanx for the vid mate...

[sirchompsalot]

Great vid man. Glad to see there are people making great changes in themselves. I like the music too. Not that I need to say it, but stay motivated.

[Nightbird]

Congratulations on your weight loss! The one thing that concerns me is the possible damage to the shoulder and elbow muscles due to the repetition and weight load on them. Especially since not only are you repeating the same maneuvers, but you often grab the kettlebell midair and then it creates a lot of force on your joints as it drops down. Have you experienced any injuries or pain in your shoulders, elbows and hands? Other than this concern, I commend you on your incredible exercises. =)

[heppsanhometraining]

Great moves!

[PinariusNatta]

Just be careful you don't drop it on your toes.

[lhpanther]

What weight KB for the around the head swings with the strap? I tried them with a 16kg and a chain instead of a strap, and it was pretty hard.

[ThisVideoIs4you]

nice

[n4ths]

great video, how long do you workout for? i started today with a 16kg and was struggling after 2mins 30secs...

[hdjcnfdj69]

@n4ths about an hour - hour and a half. Don't worry, you'll improve fast!

[DTMelino]

I like ur vid man!

Keep ur workouts up up and up : )

[WellnessMafia]

I really enjoyed that vid! Love the humor too! Well done on your achievements friend:)

[Nano512]

GOOD JOB DUDE!!!!

[S3TPROGRAM]

great work!!!!!

[stratocaster1986able]

I was impressed with your kettlebell spinning skills as much as your weight loss.

[fruitfast777]

Bravo, bravo. Very nice. The best part is the toss and catch of the bell. Very good. Never seen that in other videos.

[schlorn]

Great for you! congrats! I love kettlebells and I have bought them for a couple of friends to get them started...you know once you have one, you want to pick it up every time you see it

[Cornampoo]

2:41 made it look easy :O

[SalvadorLosAngeles]

Fun video. Thanks. I liked the way you tossed the kettbell around in the air!

[bretkocka]

I have never had such of fun watching this video:)

The music the video editing, all is so entertaining.

...now the real Star is the Girivik, who in only 80 days has done so much!

I do appreciate this video because I believe the "Kettlebell Workout" is the best to stay healthy!

Thank you for this inspiring video, I would give 5 star to this one:)

[butcherboy767]

nice mate keep up the awsome work

[stardingo747]

I tried "kettle bell" swings the other night, using 2.5 galon "suitcase" water tubs, and its addictive as hell. Loved every second.

[ofironcords]

This vid actually inspired me to go out and get a kettlebell and get to work! I've watched a variety of kettlebell vids prior to this but never got around to doing anything. Thanks for the inspiration! It's just what I needed!

[dirtyjew1974]

impressivly strong, your improvments were very impressive...way to go man, your looking great from where you started!

[democratusnostradams]

Insane!

not only did you loose weight but you probably got so functionally strong! good on ya

[therapist66]

Awesome, nice flip of the KB after the swing!

[Cornampoo]

Haha, sweet!

[carloswhizz]

Inspirational stuff and a great video.I am still at the swing and cleans stage but can already feel the benefits. Thanks for the extra push to keep trying.

[dirtyjew1974]

great video man, im new to using kettlebells and ive been an athlete for years lol. too bad i didnt discover them years ago. how much does this kettlebell weigh in pounds? if your not sure how much it is in pounds then you can let me know in kilos

[hdjcnfdj69]

The big one is 70lb/32kg, for juggling with behind the back release we normally use 35lb/16kg and 44lb/20kg.

[3vsl]

@dirtyjew1974

16, 24, 32 kg

[Cansseco]

thank you for sharing this video!!! I started doing kettle bell training and my swimming has improved incredibly, I'm swimming 5000 meters now, (100 laps) in less than 2 hours

[secretsquirrell13]

sweet man thanx.

[secretsquirrell13]

how many times a week?

[hdjcnfdj69]

I usually work out 3 to 4 times per week. Pretty much every other day.

[MikeTysonEatsKids]

@hdjcnfdj69

hey. I actually gut the 35lb kettlebell. I cannot say how much strength i have agined. Dumbells in no way shape or form can compare to kettlebells!

I learned to the clean and press to perfection now. However i do not have any room in my apartment to do snatches. I hear thats where you gain the most strength.

my skinny wrists, hands, and forearms have gained muscle. I never thoughti t would be so

[Bahamianbully]

Hey man this video is a GREAT inspiration to me! I've been out of the gym for 6 months and am becoming flabby, but I do not desire that "gym-rat" look! This has shown me an alternative to get the physique I desire. I awlays used the kettlebells the gym had but had no Idea they could do so much! Many thanks for the vid!

[brelekoloihustawka]

respect

[mizzoulibertarian]

great job. congratulations on losing the wieght. I just started kettle balls a week ago. and I have about 60 pounds to lose.

[mcguirethomas8]

@MizzoulI meant to hit thumbs up sry. I'm just starting too.

[Core767]

I must say, a friend mentioned kettlebells to me a few months ago, so I decided to take a look at exercises on here. Your video was the first one I chose to see and I was impressed. I then went back to my friend and told him that I am in! I got my first 16 kg a few months ago and use it in my own personal workout routine now!

[rkht8709]

Awesome! I love the way you made these workouts. So innovative, did you come up with some of these yourself? How many lbs have you lost up to date? I'm considering getting a kettlebell, wow, great video!

[VVerw0lf]

sto ciccione potrebbe fare un po di corsa e addominali, invecedi fare solo sollevamento pesi..

[xguardian12]

way to go!

[billhonez]

That Was Awesome! I just started and Loving it.  What is the lb's you were using in the video?

[hdjcnfdj69]

The big one is 70lb/32kg, for juggling with behind the back release we normally use 35lb/16kg and 44lb/20kg.

[kirlinks]

Great job, congratulations. Throwing the KB that much also strenghtens your ligaments and joints, which is very important when you get older.

[love44jesus4ever]

because of this guy i decided to get 1 for my 15 birthday and i love it

[graciousSenor]

shit that guy's strong.

[Muslmonkey]

Great work! Watch your form! Keep your free hand away from your leg!

[maynardp12]

You are the MAN! way to go.

[kalep1]

its funny how your video inspired me to get me a kettle bell...but i have to ask wat was the weight of the biggest one u were using?

[hdjcnfdj69]

The biggest one is 70 lb / 32 kg

[MikeTysonEatsKids]

Are these strength gains permanent?

For example if i start out with 35lb then go up to 70lb will i keep that strength even if i do not work out as intense?

[hdjcnfdj69]

Its all relative. Id say I work out at about 80% - 90% intensity in a maintenance mode and I still improve constantly. But, again, kettle bells are a drug of some kind - they are very addictive and you will enjoy every workout, you would not have to force yourself like with just lifting weights.

[kitteqnoir]

Thanks you've inspired me to go and get a kettlebell and get into shape.

[OctoBox]

let me tell you all about how fun it is the 1st and ONLY time you accidently hit your shin doing this.

I nearly feinted.

After that I became an ACE at Kettle tosses, hahahahaha.

[HateGrind]

Kettlebells are ace. Got a good 20kg one for xmas and combined with my regular workout im gasping and nearly puking up after training with them . Very good for cardio and functional and core strength . i cant wait to buy a weighted vest and do kettlebell exercises with it on . I think it will be interesting . Youtube is also gr8 for exercise ideas!!

[Adrian9766]

Dudue, your awesome! I'm starting a kettlebell routine tomorrow for boxing. Glad to see it can be fun as well as effective! Cheers and Keep going strong!

[methylethyldeth]

make more videos! :D

[gasparfreak]

Great work Fedor!!!

[MagusJoseph]

"Do you dare to try?"

Uhhhhh.... As much as I'd love to, I'd probably end up having it land on my foot or getting bonked on the head(ow)

That would be just my luck.

[MikeTysonEatsKids]

@MagusJoseph

These things are way better than dumbells. Trust me pal. If my boney ass can get strength gains, anyone can!

[gunfish103]

Impressive you made it look so easy. I be afraid of busting my foot with one of those balls.

[George1212121]

ok, someones arms are gonna get ripped off XD

[destructo1080]

look slike fedor

[kagolko]

what weight should I start with? I mean I do excercise already - but fuck them. I'd like to try this. with some pushups and situps. somebody please tell me

[hdjcnfdj69]

Most people are capable of performing most of exercises with a 16 kg (35 LB) kettlebell in the beginning. Try them at the store and see if it's a doable size for you. It's important to learn the proper form of each exercise first with a mangeable weight before switching to heavier kettlebells.

[kagolko]

thanks a lot brother. I'll tell everyone about this video. you should get famous. this would really help loads of obese people. and god you have neraly shape of Fedor! AFTER 80 DAYS!!!

[luigifla]

You're so hot, man

[SpeakingOfWrestling]

If I did the exercise at 3:00 and forward I would prolly end up throwing the kettlebell into the back of my head :(

[sergeontheloose]

You know why kettlebells are are measured like this - 16-32 kilos?

In old Russia the word "pud" meant exactly 16 kilos so they made it so that kettlebells weighted 1-2 puds.

[danbau08]

Very good.Amazing progress.

Good humor too.Love the music.

[jimmythedirt]

great video! way to go you rocked the kettlebells! inspirational!

[weathered79]

what kettlebell weight did you start at and how long did you use before going heavier

[hdjcnfdj69]

I started with 16kg/35lb and in about a month or two moved up to a 32kg/70lb, but it's different for everybody.

[MikeTysonEatsKids]

@hdjcnfdj69

Wow. You're strength really increased. Did you find the 35 lb difficult at first? (I am using these right now)

How much has you bench press, or overall strength increase? How much could yopu juggle now?

What books, program do you suggest i get? Where can i get the program online?

I want to be like you man. You are my inspiration!

[Vajrayana514]

I'm 6'3 180 lbs/81 kg, I purchased a set of 16 KG kettlebells a few weeks ago and I'm sore from head to toe haha but I'm loving it, it's way more fun and motivating than a gym.

[zenyogi98]

You are amazing! I am inspired to do this kettlebell training. Can you do the workout exercises you show everyday?

[hdjcnfdj69]

Well, you will be capable at some point, but you shouldn't, it's a pretty heavy work out and your body needs time to recuperate. 3 times per week is probably the best schedule.

[youareallchumps]

so russian!!!!

[talon115]

I love kettlebells! They kick my ass harder than regular gym workouts.

[harris1001]

man, u are surely will get much stronger, not only losing those fat.

[MetaRoland]

never occurred to me to try kettlebelling in water. I gotta get out to my lake before it starts getting cold!

[hdjcnfdj69]

Actually, that "Chuck Norris" scene was included for pure decorative purposes, but if you want to give it a try you have plenty of time - it was shot in mid-November in Iowa.

[suchina]

Weight of your kettlebell dude?/El peso de tu kettlebell?

[hdjcnfdj69]

Practically everywhere - 70 LB / 32 KG, only juggling (with behind the back release) - 35 LB / 16 KG. Flipping in front - 70 LB / 32 KG as well.

[suchina]

Thanks man for the quick answer...you rock!

Motivation is the key.

[solentology]

this video is the best! awesome grabs!

[robjbray]

very good, good for you my freind!

just watch out for when the kettle bell is out of reach and you catch it.

They are trators and thats how I hurt my back!

but looks great, i wanna do it again!

[Vexjamm]

you're awesome. think I might give that a try

[irgendwer009]

Great video. I really enjoyed watching this. Your juggling skills are great too. Congrats on the weight loss! privyet ys germanii!

[boxerschorts]

veryyyyyyy gooood

[thebuttmusclessite]

great work !!!

looking good :)

[SparksHealth]

Kettlebells are the best, started with a paper weight 4kg, inside of 2 months 8kg, now up to 16kg, Get your form right first or you WILL injure yourself very very quickly with a KB upto 5times the weight you are swinging thanks to force and gravity

[whorethrower]

I don't think Pavel would approve of the behind the back pass. Looks awesome though

[john51880]

Good job! Good role model!

[punannybai]

I am kind of weak. Do you guys and gals think if istart with kettlebells i can gain strength?

My main problems have always been my WEAK grip and skinny forearms.

Will this help?

[hdjcnfdj69]

Most people who start working out with kettlebells are "kind of weak" in the beginning and with time they become "kind of strong". Kettlebell exercises are a great way to improve your weak grip problem as well.

[ideveloper1]

Yes... strength that you won't lose!

[thunderbare]

YES

[xcmx138]

this is the music i need to get me in the mood for intensive strength training, fuck metal or hip hop, i need gay russian circus music!!!!!

[65infanteria]

JAJAJAJAJAJA!!!! yeah I joke 2 but after a while I'm banging head like it's Night at the Roxbury all over again!

[jackbauerwonder]

Special catagory award for the bloke on youtube most likely to experience double foot surgery?

[jackbauerwonder]

Special award for best sound track?

[mossberg451]

that looks damn fun im 23 i need to start doing that

[bunksbunks]

I started KB training two months ago (at 41) and have lost 28 lbs. I wish I knew about KBs at 23. Respect your elder and go get "enter the kettlebell' book and dvd by pavel and start!

[sylvainh2o]

Wow he got a lot of skill playing with the kettlebell like that Russian guyz always new how to train long time before us in America

[KungFuNik]

Nice, you gotta love them Kettlebells :D

[nilodes]

do you dare to try.. you live only once.. nice..

[kettlebellDenmark]

That's what I am talking about! FUN!

Respect for your determination and your achievements!

[jaycore]

cool exercises fedor

[prchdaword]

Great video and great workouts!!!

[hdjcnfdj69]

You are correct, it is dangerous. Not "just a bit."

This cannonball can cause serious damage.

[vesi0707]

Nice I'm 16 and im using a 16 Kg Kb and i have been doing this for about 1 week and i already feel the changes

[AlphaBlonde71]

Wow congratuations on your weight loss you look great!
