  • I use Kettlebells and i think it's great!

    Getting stronger and stronger!

    I basicly love kettlebells!

  • icelandic girls rock!

  • Man, wake up!... We live in a market economy, you can see marketing gimics everywhere, anytime. As you say, and that's gonna be my bottom line, kettlebells are good tools, but not the best ones. But as for any human endeavour, the best is the ennemy of the good...

  • I've had kettlebells since 2001. There good tools if used right but the marketing gimics that you see everywhere now give people the wrong ideas about them.

  • Train with dumbells for high reps quick lifts, and you will soon miss your rotator cuff, and then you won't build much neither in the way of endurance, nor of strength. Maybe thick handled dumbell training could increase one's finger strength to the point of being able to do bending feats... But the kettlebell is still more complete. Finally, what is obvious from your writings is that you have never trained with kettlebells, otherwise you would know about what your are talking.

  • No, sir, they don't... In fact they don't need to deadlift for what they have to do. Separating "speed" and "strength" training is a misconception. Strength is the ability to exert force and force = mass X acceleration. For the same force output, if you decrease the weight, the speed will be increased. As Rob Lawrence put it, you can go as fast as you can (with relatively light weights) as long as it doesn't compromise tension, and still generate an awesome strength output... and build strength.

  • Once you do it enough you can snatch a heavy kettlebell. But speed training can only take you so far. Any tool can be used for slow and fast training. The kettlebell is being marketed as a magic pill, and kettlebells get a lot of attention because they're still pretty new here.

  • They probably use kettlebells as a supplement along with deadlifting.

  • Then by that logic, training with dumbells should also give you ability to lift a 150lbs overhead, running marathons, and bending nails.

  • Last but not least, I understand the point you were making, about not mixing strength and endurance training to get maximal results in both : Pavel Tsatsouline says the same thing. But nothing prevents a kettlebell lifter to break his training into endurance and strength days, and I think they are more and more numerous to do so. Kb come in heavier sizes nowadays : do you know much people able to do a snatch from a platform or a front squat with a pair TRENDY 106 lbs kettlebells? :-)
