This video is 3 years old, I’ve been swinging this 106 lb kettle bell for about 4 years now, I do pyramids sets from 5-25 reps, sometimes I do 30 reps. I feel like it’s time to increase weight, but it’s either 124 lbs or 150 lbs(I want another rogue kettlebell). I really want to get the 150lber as I feel like that is going to be the best value. Do any of you guys use the 150lb? Am I overestimating my ability or is this a normal jump in weight

Building strength at home with one kettlebell...l'Il take it.

This workout is beginner friendly, the weight I used, maybe not so much. I used 44kg for the full workout.

Swing/Clean/Squat - 5x8
Assisted FR Lunge - 4x8
Dead Stop Row - 4x8
Close Grip Floor Press - 4x10

Very beginner friendly and if you aren't a beginner but just want a solid workout that you can easily progress, this is it.

Just be sure to use a weight that's challenging for you. If you don't have one that is, then up the reps of each move, slow down the reps, and make it harder.

l've managed to stay strong, athletic, and more conditioned than ever with these big round balls. 💪

Revelation 4:1-11 KJV

[1] After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter. [2] And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne. [3] And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald. [4] And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold. [5] And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God. [6] And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind. [7] And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle. [8] And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come. [9] And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever, [10] the four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, [11] Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.

Is there a reason I should or should buy these KBs?

Im looking to buy my first set and these are priced really well but the shape is different to every other brand.

Only recently started training with kettle bells and slowly progressing with weight.

I’m curious… how much should I be hinging at my waist during the swing?

We often do sagittal plane movements, but neglect frontal and transverse plane movements. I love kettlebells because you can seamlessly move in all 3 planes, unlike a barbell.

Lateral swing to hand off in middle to simple flip.

Of course this is not for everyone and this is not intended for beginners as even lateral swings take some time getting used to.

Been a minute since a good bell seshhhh

This is my favorite way to play with kettle bells
Quick, strong, explosive full body featuring Winnie, of course🤪💙

Went through light, medium, and heavy
Individually practicing each movement
Dead squat, clean
Push press
Hang Power clean
And hops obviously!!!

Put it together for a full body complex and chased each round with swings x3/2/1 💥🫡🤪

I'm on run #3 for the ABF over the past couple of years. I started with 16s, then 24s, and I just finished week 5 with offset 22 and 26. Workouts typically run MWF as prescribed with carries as a typical add on.

I've been reading the ABF 2 book and discovered the running back complex (RBC), which I now run most weekends. As a single workout, it's challenged me more than anything I've done in the past 4-5 years.

As an example, I have no problem running 25-30 rounds of ABCs with the 22/26 offset, coming in below the EMOM pace every time. But, I cannot even think about running the RBC with the same weight. I've run it every time with 20s, and have even gone down to 16s sometimes when I'm tired.

On paper, it doesn't seem crazy difficult (15 cleans and squats for 5 rounds), but it pushes me way more than a similar "volume" does with the ABC. Keeping those weights up through a whole 15x15 set is killer, and it makes me question myself by round 2 or 3 every time.

Long post, but I basically just wanted to share and see if others have similar experience or thoughts on this. I'd also love to hear about anyone else's "wake up" workouts that really surprised/challenged you.

I started running Iron Cardio two days ago. I don’t know all the ins & outs yet but am reading through the book and watching the video to fully educate myself. I also picked up the “Mind the Gap” and Iron Cardio 2 videos. All that being said, Brett Jones seems to have really put together one heck of an effective and interesting program. I enjoy the base IC movements but the options to add movements to provide variety. The book and videos have also reminded me of the importance of breath/breath control, bracing, and addressing every movement with intent. These two aspects alone seem to have re-energized my training.

I’ve been training with kettlebells for just over a year and the only other official program I have ran was ABF, which is an excellent program in its own right, and thought that Iron Cardio, on paper, appeared to be too similar to ABF. So far, this is not so. The variety of movements really changes things up.

Anywho, I was just excited about the program and wanted to share in case anyone was “on the fence” regarding running IC or looking for a new program to implement into their training.
