Steve Maxwell claims Pavel destroyed his body using kettlebells and can't lift them anymore (other than swings and dips). Pavel isn't that old. And I have always idolized the guy because of how much he did for fitness knowledge in the USA and me personally (I have done a bunch of his programs and they have all been worth the months invested).
However... I don't want to destroy my elbow tendons. And I have noticed recently when I do heavy cleans, especially heavy double cleans, my elbows HURT. This is relatively new, since I re-introduced barbell deadlifts into my weekly routine. I don't deadlift heavy or often. I am at 3pl8s and do a heavy pull two times in each two-week training block.
But... still. Are kettlebells going to destroy my elbows? Are these things a young man's game? Part of the reason I bought myself a set was to use them for the rest of my life, since I hate going to the gym.
