I’ve been working out with the bells for many years, and I find that as I age (81) I’m finding a 10kg and 2 x 8kg. Bilateral workouts are fantastic and really push the buttons. I use competition bells, and have 1 x 16kg bell for deadlifts and swings.

Hi Julie- We LOVE hearing from octogenarians who are still strength training and working with kettlebells! You are a role model and a goal for ALL of us! 👏 Seriously - everyone should aim to be more like you. 🔥 Yes, I think that your bell sizes sound perfect for you! What double-bell workouts and movements are your favorites? Thank you for watching and commenting! Keep up the super strong work! 💪

Great rule of thump suggestions! What about pairing kettlebells?

@CatChau 4 ай бұрын

Great question! Your first pair of double kettlebells should be a pair that you can front squat with good form for 5-8 reps. This will usually be the medium-sized bell for most folks. But it could also be the lighter bell, depending on the person. For example, if you're a guy who starts out with a 12kg, a 16kg, and a 20kg, you'll most likely want to buy a second 16kg so you have two 16kg kettlebells, and you can do your double kettlebell work with those. As you get stronger, you can always add another 20kg so you have two 20kg bells. Glad this was helpful! Thanks for watching and commenting! 🙏💪

Adjustable kettle bells?

@silentbliss7666 3 күн бұрын

Hi Cat, I'm on a budget so I just want to get one kettle bell which I can use for all kind of moves. What weight would you recommend ? I'm a female in my mid-forties. I'm familiar with basic resistant training and can do men's push-up FYI.

@CatChau 2 күн бұрын

Hi there! Hey, any female in her mid-40s who is doing full pushups is a superstar! Excellent work in your training! 🔥 Keep reading for the full answer: Here are my thoughts: If you can get your hands on some kettlebells (i.e. pop into a gym) and figure out which bell you can press (military press) overhead with good form for 5-7 reps, that’s going to be your best first bell to buy. Since you can do a men’s pushup, I’m going to GUESS that this will be close to the 12kg (26 lb) kettlebell. But it depends on your baseline strength as well as your height and weight. Your ideal bell also could be the 10kg or the 14kg! Our favorite brands of kettlebells are here (scroll down to the bells): www.catandchau.com/recommended-gear/ To get the best deal, you have to shop around a bit. I recommend joining the email lists of RKC DragonDoor and Rogue, because then you’ll get an email if/when they’re running a sale. OR, you can just buy your kettlebell from Amazon. Make sure you have Amazon Prime so you can get free shipping! Sometimes buying the bell full price from Amazon and getting free shipping is cheaper than getting a discounted bell from the kettlebell-maker (e.g. RKC DragonDoor) with their shipping costs. Just do some price comparisons and you'll figure out the best option. Sorry for the long comment! Hope this helps! Thanks for watching and keep up the super strong work! 💪

@@CatChauthank you for the awesome reply 🙏🏼 I was already thinking between 10kg or 12kg. Your advice really makes sense and resonates with my intuition. I'm so glad to find your channel on YT!
