try em out and see for yourself okay buddy?

>extremely low quality

>>76772843 (OP)
yes. you look like a retard doing anything with them. and doing anything with them is suboptimal

>>76772843 (OP)
yes, but it's a fun cardio to use if you're bored with jogs and biking.

Also, for me it helped with a pinched nerve, supplemented kettlebell sessions alongside spine and core whatchacallits. Rehabilitational therapy. Half yoga, mostly compromised of core and glute excercises.Physical therapy?

>>76772843 (OP)
Yes, they're expensive dumbbells

It's a great no-bullshit, all-in-one tool that brings great results if used consistently.
I especially recommend it for people who have a life and just want to get in shape without making fitness the center of their life.

It's the definition of "less is more".
They make many people seethe because by using them you reject so much overcomplicated bullshit that doesn't work.

Yes
Keep paying monthly in the gym with the other goofy idiots

they're fun for sure, I think it can be good to incorporate ballistic, swinging, twisting and possibly unilateral movements into training

really if you think about it being able to move a heavy ass weight around in the ways that you do with kettlebells is something you don't get to train with "standard" gym exercises, but real life movements are usually like that (weird, skewed to one side, quick movement at once (heist something over shoulder, throw something, ...) etc.)

plus they get you sweating too, can kind of combine strength and cardio/conditioning into one; imo they complement each other well with a "standard" more "muscle-growy" type routine

>>76772843 (OP)
No theyre kettlebells

Name one you can't do with a dumbbell.

They're something new to sell.

I love them. On my rest days I usually do kettlebell stability work. Plank pull throughs, overhead marches, suitcase carries etc.

Ever since doing kettlebell workout my core stability has exploded. No longer do I have balance issues.

>>76773763
Bottom up kettlebell hold marches for one. You don't get the instability with dumbells. They will crush you if you have poor shoulder stability.

>>76772843 (OP)
They seem fine for rows and farmers walks I guess. Not sure why’d you’d ever really use them and not dumbbells though. They have a stupid shape. I only ever see women and crossshitters messing with these

>>76773763
>bottoms up variations
>any style of clean or snatch
>the best weight for dips/pullups
>throws

>>76773955
you're fat
it's ok

>>76773763
swings, hammer curls/presses, wrist turns, really all kinds of shit, even the exercises you can almost kind-of half-ass with DBs are way better with KBs, like getups, snatches, clean and press

I can't understand Americans get so buttschmerzed by people who like variety or other things. I just like KBs because they fit in my apartment. If I had the space I'd get a BB for at least deads and squats, but I don't, so I make do. In any event, I don't screech about people who prefer gym memberships.

>>76772843 (OP)

No. Do 5 weeks of Dry Fighting Weight with your true 5RM on the clean & press/front squat and you will see.

They are way better for these movements than other implements although incremental loading is obviously a problem, since 4kg jumps per hand/8kg per pair is way too big of a leap to progress quickly.

You have to train differently than bodybuilding or powerlifting and learn to love sets of heavy singles, doubles, and triples with a strong attention to increasing density and volume of your sets over time.

It's not bullshit or a fad. It is a ball of iron or maybe steel. It will make you stronger and put muscle on you if you know how to use it.

Although the synchronized kettlebell people of IG are major super gay.

>>76773969
You’re poor and short and can’t afford real equipment. It’s ok

>Missed 'I don't know'
Gtfo kid. You're not ready for the 2026 reboot

>>76773351
This. I throw one ib the wirk truck and get a great workout anywhere with cool views.

>>76773975
>swings, hammer curls/presses, wrist turns, really all kinds of shit
You can do those with dbs though.

>>76773966
>any style of clean or snatch
I clean dumbbells all the time for ohp.
>the best weight for dips/pullups
Cope innit? You can hang a log and that's free in the woods.

Name one thing you do with a dumbbell you can't do with a kettlebell.

>>76772843 (OP)
Not really, they're just different. Every once and a while I will train with them and I always fine I move better. And they work a weird capability which is ballistic/power endurance. Its not strength endurance, its something slightly different.

People compare them to barbell/dumbbell training, but they are not really in competition. Same with calisthenics. Its more like doing high-rep jumps and throws.

I just started a program with them that I plan to run through November.

>>76775083
Stack them

>>76774561
mostly nope, like i just showed you, but also the ones where DBs almost sort of work it still sucks, again like i just said

>>76774561
kek notice how he didn't deny being american

>>76772843 (OP)
Kettlebell vs weights is like back squat vs jump squat, a false dichotomy
For my time, I felt I got more valuenm out of bar/dumbells than KBs though

this thread is trying to bait mark out

>>76772843 (OP)
I have to use these fuckers to do my back extensions now that my gym got rid of the old medicine balls.
Not happy

Mike Israetel has a video on it. Listen to him, not to random 4channers.

>>76775547
Kike Israel is the last person a lifting noob should listen to. Even if he agrees with me you should still avoid him.

>>76775547
Yah, but Bioneer loves them, and he is /ourautist/

>Name one thing you do with a dumbbell you can't do with a kettlebell.
1. Curls without hand skin tension
2. Front raises with the palm angle I choose
3. Mog everyone because they know dumbbell weights better than kettlebell weights

>>76772843 (OP)
Swings are good cardio, but you can do the same with a dumbbell.

Dumbbells are better because they are adjustable, kettlebells are not adjustable.

>>76773351
Yep,
Kettlebells are very convenient.
They are great if s&c is just a part of your life, besides work, family or god forbid practice an actual sport!

>>76778005
they make adjustable ones
https://bellsofsteel.us/products/mark-wildman-adjustable-kettlebells
I don't use adjustables but a few vendors make them

>>76776093
>1. Curls without hand skin tension
but time under tension is good
>2. Front raises with the palm angle I choose
just hold the kettlebell at the edge of the handle
>3. Mog everyone because they know dumbbell weights better than kettlebell weights
not in a kettlebell gym

So dumbbells are pretty much useless, they're just something new to sell.

>he doesn't use barbells, kettlebells, dumbbells, fat bells, center mass bells, y bells, mace bells, circus bells, sand bells
lol
are you even trying?

>>76778767
you forgot clubbells
