If you are purely after strength and hypertropthy I can understand why you are not a fan of kettlebells. However, if you are not so singularly focused on strength and have more balanced fitness goals then KBs are possibly the best tool for that. As the saying goes "no one hates kettlebells for what they are - they hate them for what they think they are".

This guy should try kettlebells, he might get in shape for the first time in his life 🤣🤣🤣

I'm officially naming my 92kg kettlebell Rip.

Kettle bell workouts would help getting Rip's body fat below 30%

This guy needs to broaden his views and expand his mindset. There is so much that he mocks that is truly fundamental to overall health.

It's funny how Rip laughs about kettlebells, meanwhile he's so healthy he has trouble breathing just sitting down. Girevoy is quite the workout and people that can do it can actually walk up a few flight of stairs and not need to rest.

We need that kettlebell video. It will be as good as upright row instruction video.

"The kettlebell supply chain has been completely disrupted." This is why I listen to Rip.

If anyone is interest my shoulder is good, I thought pressing was behind me. but I'm back at it. Therapy in a steam bath seemed to turn the corner, soft throwing a softball before every game helped too, not to mention restricted bench press. I dont know it took a year almost. 68 and counting.

Pavel's books taught me the principles to one-arm pull-up and double bodyweight bench when I was 18. Go check out his dragon door era stuff, I still draw on it many years later

we need the top worst equipment podcast

I don't really have anything clever or funny to say.

They're good for gpp conditioning, swings for example, as part of a gpp circuit.

The barbell is king but KBs have their uses; at a fraction of cost of an olympic bar. You just have to not fall into the KB rabbit hole, if you own more than 3 it's time to repent.

More Kettlebell…I think we need more Kettlebell!

I would love a podcast episode going into the logic behind gym equipment is bad. I really liked his expliantion of machines and lifting shirts etc. and how they compare to tried and true equipment like belts.

I think Pavel is super pissed now and may go fight for the Russians

I have two of most of the competition kettlebells. It was the best fitness investment I ever made. I am immunocompromised, cannot use a gym, and live in a condo, so a squat rack is not viable. These kettlebells in two years have done far more for me than gyms ever did. I don’t really know how to explain it. I have thought about getting an Olympic bar and learning some lifts outside that do not require a squat rack that can increase load, but I suspect some people (like me) respond to kettlebells better than you seem to believe. I don’t know about Pavel’s hardstyle stuff. I have been doing sport-style technique but really heavy on Olympic-style lifts. It might be that I am doing ghetto Olympic lifting and getting some progress because real Olympic lifting is obviously effective. I dunno. I had also considered building a wooden yoke to hang these bells and try to adapt some of your Starting Strength programming but I am not sure exactly how to make that work. I am kind isolated here and trying to figure things out after society left the seven million of us with immune system problems on house arrest for the rest of our lives.

Were they not originally used in village markets as weights for weighing ag products

I learned more from Pavel than Starting Strength bought my kettlebell for cheap af easy to store

I'm a powerlifter i do kettlebells i run i jump rope i do boxing muay thai i do Pilipino martial arts (Dekiti Kali) and i enjoy all of it. Be great a almost everthing its fun

Frank Zane used to be known as " The Chemist". Must have been because he probably taught chemistry when he wasn't teaching Math. Yea, that's it.

Dumbbells make good stable doorstops too, no?

Barbells are an inferior tool to kettlebells. I don't think that Mark has a Bachelor of Genius Studies degree, so probably won't be able to figure that out....

Will the kettlebell video be the catalyst for Rip finally getting on the Joe Rogan podcast?

Denise Austin. Richard Simmons. Jane fonda workout and susan summers dominated morning tv in the 80s

Oh my God I pissed myself!!!! We use kettlebells to keep our doors open and to prop up phones to record!!!!!!

You can follow up with a "Best Uses" video.

It never gets old - Crapping all over Kettlebells and Trap Bar DLs without a single care. The cost of a useless KB certifications, using KBs to prop doors, disparaging Pavel, and using them to prop up cell phones.... LOL. Just add one or twos jabs at “being on a cut” and you have the RIP standup comedy routine.

My wife keeps a kettle bell beside her night stand to hit me with the day or two after my weekly test inject She's getting stronger.

I'd like to see Rip do a skit about kettlebells. Rip would play the role of fitness instructor or personal trainer and he has a client do something Russian with a pink kettlebell. Then Rip yells into the client's ear that it's ALL YOURS, BRO! as the pink thing crashes down. Okay, that would never air. But have something like this. You could even have Rip in purple tights yell IT'S ALL YOURS, BRO! No nips, of course.

What's with rips hand? Twitch?

Kettlebell, Dumbbell, Fatbell, Hellsbells

I have bad shoulders and doing a BB press really hurts. Doing a press with a KB is so much better for me.

Mark can you make a video on how to kettle bell swing while cycling for endurance and also running starting strength? Asking for a friend

One of my biggest mistakes was taking up KBs. I stupidly sold off my barbel and plates, in place of KBs, and greatly regretted it. I really struggled to build any real or strength or muscle with them and lost a lot of muscle. The swing has got to be the most overrated exercise ever! Burn fat like nothing else they claim? Well i got to a point where i was swinging a 32kg KB for 300 swings 4 times a week and doing other KB exercises on other days. And didnt lose any fat at all. Sure my forearms got stronger as did my posterior chain, but hardly lost any fat at all. Plus its an incredibly boring exercise. I had less body fat when I lifted barbells and walked more. Ive since sold off most of my KBs and bought myself a barbell and some plates. Its like coming back home. In my experience KBs are vastly overrated/overstated in what they can achieve and do.

Sit and be fit!!!

Still waiting on the starting strength lifting shoe link…

I wanna see Mark do Kettlebells! I wanna see the kind of Man im Dealing with!

they're better for combat athletes than barbells overall

We all really need Mark to go on Rogans show.

there’s nothing wrong with using kettlebells.

Breathing is for chumps

Nick needs to wear an Arab outfit into the gym one day to surprise Rip

Kettlebells were created as counter balances for scales

Rips unbelievable oh!

Mark is hilarious

Herman goerner used kettlebells....previous century....

Rip oughta name an exercise after himself like Arnold (A.S.- not to be confused with anabolic steroids) & the magazines promoted " The Arnold Press". What a joke! " Screw ya Freedom",( a.s.)

I remember a guy tried to show me a kettlebell snatch, like a 60# bell, and it flew out of his hand and narrowly missed braining a guy standing like 10 feet away. That was the last time I considered a kettlebell.

Pavel's boiling

Rip is a gem lol

I go straight to the kettlebell rack at the gym as soon I get in there just to annoy people around me doing the dumbest shit I can think of with no purpose.

It’s a trap(bar)!

Kettlebells > Hot Chicks 😬

Kettles are tea. Freakin pansies.

The leg press, Dumbells and kettlebells are for weak people. Strong people who use them are not using them for strength. They're already strong!

Kettlebells are so stupid
