I'm 71 with a pace maker and I started kettlebells a year ago. I refused to sit around and let my body deteriorate and now I am stronger than I have ever been. I stand up straight now and feel my core is just awesome now. My doctor was amazed at how cut I was! I learned from you and Mark Wildman the proper technic and I'm so grateful man thank you!

[yosefco]

my answers:
1. KB hard style swings could cause back pain, while "sport atyle" swings could heal it! (personal experience)
2. i think that a bad technique with KB could cause injuries, but you don't need a "perfect" technique. i personaly went to a KB coach to learn the basic movements and i recommend every one to do so. like Lebe Stark said, the enjoyment when you master the technique is amazing!
3. KB (with a reasonable technique) is the best thing you could do for your joints! i experienced problems only when i used too heavy weights instead of gradually upload.
4. i ripped my hands only with snatches, only when i used too heavy weights.
5. KB builds a body between a runner and a bodybuilder bc KB are a combination of weight and endurance. so you wouldnt be look like a body builder, you wouldn't be look like a runner, but you would be look like the "middle" of both

I had back pain episode. My PT put me onto kettlebells. I did suitcase carries, farmer walks, overhead presses and squats as well as a back stretching thing with the kettlebell. I then found you. I haven't had a back episode in years. One of the reasons I know use kettlebells is to prevent back pain, and it's working.

You taught me the hinge and fixed my back buddy. Godspeed!

I love the term gate keeper. Why is it people all over the world seem to have want to certify everything. I’ve learnt kettlebells by watching and trying. I’ve been practicing 15 years no injuries. I’ve got better with consistent practice and seeing results. Fit at 56 all the naysayers about kettlebell training if you don’t like them train with your own choice of modality. Stop bashing the bells 🔔. Use them how you want just enjoy what you do and like.

[girea]

Gregory, thank you for promoting kettlebells. You are doing great job!

[LondonBlakk]

I'm 44 and started training with the bells about two months ago. I've lost almost 20 pounds in that time. I have a ways to go, but I feel stronger than I have in more than 20 years.

[DIYGamerable]

I got my first kettlebell in oct last year. 25lbs. In 3 months I had more muscles in my legs then all the years I was training with dumbbells. Now i have 2 20kg kettlebells and my gains skyrocketed.

[allengaible]

I feel and look vastly different from 2 years of kettlebell training. And I still have a lot of room for growth and improvement at 38 years old.

[nomadr]

I would dare say that when learning the swing and snatch it is important that your kettlebell is NOT too light. You ought to feel the ballistic element of the movement, you need to feel where the bell wants to go - this by itself forces you to assume the correct form; if the bell is too light one is almost sure to make the excercise wrong.

[catherineabbott-allen]

Kettlebells have made a huge difference for me. They have helped me strengthen my back more than any other tool! I have been careful to learn how to do kettle bell swings with lighter weight and I continue to watch your videos to improve my technique all the time. I started using 15 lb bells and have now gotten up to a 30 lb bell. I'm a kettle bell convert, that's for sure!

[turningpointfitness]

bought my first KB 25lbs in 2019, learnt the technique using this light wt baby and now i swing 53 lb. i will say, once you get the technique, you move up very fast. if you want to go pass the 24 Kg ( 53 lbs ), you better be good with your technique!

[davidchung]

I always have to laugh whenever I hear Myth #1. The MAIN reason I started using kettlebells in the first place (beyond fat was to prevent back pain as I age.

[fuckspace]

I had an epiphany with a kettlebell, to me it’s the perfect workout. You can use it so many different ways and it changed my perspective and after 10 minutes I was wrecked but still enjoyed how you can switch it up

[delconagher]

Just finished 2 weeks of kettlebell training. I'm feeling more muscles in my body than years of weight training.

[RobertJudahMetz]

What's better for longevity? Hard style or soft style?

[markcrist]

If those myths were true the US Army wouldn’t have incorporated kettlebells into its physical training program.
As for requiring perfect technique, I have no delusions that my technique with all of my training coming from this channel, however I seem to have gotten to the level of “good enough “.

Über eine App würde ich mich freuen, in der auch vielleicht bestimmte Körperwerte zum Beispiel über die Watch mitgetrackt werden könnten, Trainigspläne je nach Geschlecht und andere Werte wie Alter, usw. Und: Danke für eure Videos hier und viele Grüße, Amy

I suppose you can test it by having a controlled study. Take six people three using conventional weight and three doing kettlebell then compare them after a time period of six weeks or longer
