Dude, you're my hero 

Before I start, I want to say that i'm not a believer that kettlebells are the "say all and end all" when it comes to fitness.  So, don't confuse me with one of those "New Age" trainer-types who use nothing but kettlebells and exercise balls and denounce any type "old school" training protocol

I notice that there is a bit of "kettlebell hate" on here

Now, I agree that the fact that kettlebells are going "mainstream" is a bit much as of late.  I mean, they have been in existence for a LONG time and now a bunch of johnny come latelys are pretending they are innovative cuz the just discovered them now.

However, that aside, I believe that kettlebells (done either in a circuit or Tabata style) are a more effectivce cardio workout than the tried and true " 2 one hour sessions a day on a treadmill walking on a very slow incline"

Chime in on this


then again, what do I care- I'm just gonna watch porn and hit on girls on plenty of fish all day long......then i'm gonna play "red dead redemption"















....then, I'm gonna go tanning





...oh, and I have to TiVo "To Catch a Predator" on MSNBC tonight




...Fuck, it's sunday- I have to go see my mom then go to my dads and stay in there "good graces" so i can stay in their respective wills




oh, yeah- talk about kettlebells

I've never thought about getting pairs of kettlebells but i have 4 at home ranging from 18, 22, 26 and 28kg, I often use these in my shoulder workouts and use them alone to work my shoulders and do alot of lunging with them, they are very versatile, often easier to use than a dumbbell for certain things because you can rest them in the palm of your hand without worry of slipping, although cleaning two together and getting tired towards the end of a set it looks like you'd have to be careful not to crunch your thumbs between the handles .. ouch. Cool thread thanks for the videos chaos!
