Thanks for putting that out. I haven't been trained with KB's (outside of watching many YouTube vids). I have followed the correct forms I have learned and never hurt myself once in...a year and a half now. KB training made a believer out of me.
I have 2 single "kooky-balls" at the moment; a 16kg and a 24kg so I'm always switching back and forth when working out. Is there a real advantage to using 2 (other than the obvious that there are some exercises you can't perform without 2 KBs- eg. renegade row)
Like when you are swinging or snatching for example, is it better with 2 KBs because you are firing more muscles at once?
The advantage of using two is that the more load you use the stronger you will be. When performing snatches, for example, with a 24kg, that's 24kg of load on you. When you use both the 16 and 24, you're body now has to throw around 40kg. The benefit is you will be burning more calories and getting stronger, not to mention building a little muscle.
If you have any injuries or problems than start with a 12kg but if you are a healthy individual then a 16kg is fine. A 12kg wil most likely feel too light for you if you have any weight training experience.
Great Information! i laughed at "kettledrums" and "cattlebells" hahaha. my friend called it a "heavyroundhandlethingy" the first time he tried my KB lol.
Haha, good sh*t bro! Great info and awesome way to communicate it. Loved the bit about unstable surfaces... it always makes me die a little inside watching trainers put people on "whoopie cushions" and wobbly boards to lift weights.
Nice stuff! And very funny. Have you ever seen a wakeboard video called "Detention"? This reminds me of that humor, which I love. This is perfect. More people need to see this. 5 stars for sure!
Are you sure it's not a cattleball? I could have sworn that's what the guy in the gym down the street from us says...

Good stuff. I preach full body workouts all the time. And if you want to get strong, you gotta lift heavy.

On lateral raises: "a little faster, but slower... yeah." Classic.
Well done, and great idea (the video, not lateral raises).
