rosemary quaye. Kettle-bells allowed me to continue training. Bad lower back. I looove deadlifts but can't do them anymore with a barbell. But Kettle bells are so much fun, and allow me to get close to the benifits of a deadlift. And the mixture of cardio strength are so easy to get with kettle bells too. I know it can be done other ways. But just so convenient, and versatile.

Well, my personal experience is quite different. I've used KBs in workouts for years, but not really consistently. For the past few months, I've trained with them exclusively. I started with doing TGU with 16kg...I can now do them with 32kg. I can also now strict press a 32kg, when I had trouble with strict press with a 24kg a while ago. Swing strength has gone way up too. Started snatch with 16kg, can now snatch 32kg. My core has never been so strong either. I have to disagree with him based on my personal experience with KBs.

As a middle aged bus driver who can be sitting for upto 5 and a half hours at a time, I started doing KBs after I began to suffer with Sciatica and Tennis elbow, that was more than 6 years ago. I've worked my way from a 10 - 18kg bell and will not stop for all the T in china. In my experience kettlebells are of the best mix of Cardiovascular and resistance training around and when it comes to a full body workout they can't be beaten. I workout for approx 1 hour at a time warming up with a light weight say 12kg and working my way to 18kg, I'm soaked in sweat by the time I hit 14kg. At the end I do stretching. I have not suffered with either medical condition since I started with KBs. So for me, Kettlebells Rule, no contest.

The weightlifting vs kettlebell study used a standard 16kg kettlebell for all participants while their weightlifting weights were relative to their strength (80% of their one rep max). These men had all been training for over a year to that point and a 16kg kettlebell is said to be a starting weight for a person of average strength. I don't know how you would give each participant a kettlebell of the correct weight but it seems like there's the potential they could have used heavier bells depending on their strength levels and that that may have significantly improved their results with KBs. The comparison seems a little lacking in standardisation.

@jmomo9026 Жыл бұрын

This was exactly my thought. I think the results of the studys seem plausible, but the study design on some of them seems off for me. If I have a group training at 80% of their 1RM with traditional strength training, why wouldn't I do the same for the kettlebell group, unless I wish for less comparable results. (totally speculative comment😉) I could have them try out swinging heavier bells to come to the 1RM for swinging or I could find out the 1RM for a kettlebell deadlift and let them swing the appropriate 80% 1RM weight instead. I think this would have been a better approach to compare the results. I am into kettlebell training and as you said, the 16kg is a starting weight for average strong people (or men, for women 12kg is recommended). But not only for the two handed swing, also for all the one handed exercises. And as you improve fast with kettlebells at the beginning, a 24kg or 28kg could be easily handled by a person for double handed swings in a very short amount of time. Even a 32kg would be no exclusive weight for double handed swings for a person with over 1 year of experience in resistance training, at least after a few weeks. Of course, with kettlebells you can't do as small and precise weight increments as you can in dumbbell or barbell training, but you don't need to. There are kettlebells in 2kg weight increments and I think that is enough to at least be within a range of +/- 5% of 80% 1RM and therefore achieve a much more comparable result.

@Kn0wOneNos3 10 ай бұрын

The portability and versatility of the kettlebell makes it an efficient and effective tool for anyone looking to stay fit and active, probably especially for the general population. For pro athletes and even amateurs, a strict and more specialized regimen would seem necessary to help one improve in a specific aspect of fitness, like power or speed, endurance. As for myself, I love the simplicity and space-savings I get with kettlebells given my house is not big and I have too much stuff in it already, and also the fact I only need a handful of exercises which I can use to get a well-rounded workout in a relatively short time if I'm busy that day. I've seen and felt the benefits while working labor-intensive jobs where I can flow with each movement in much the same way I can doing a kettlebell exercise. The kettlebell: it puts "fun" in "functional strength"!

@swoosh2835 4 жыл бұрын

This was super informative, and I appreciate the time you took into presenting your findings. However, it is very easy to punch holes in some of the conclusions. The first and most obvious one is the arbitrary selection of a 16 kg kettlebell. I wonder just how different the conclusions would have been if some of the test subjects were allowed to use heavier kettlebells. Also, you put a very heavy if not exclusive emphasis on two and one handed swings while ignoring other ballistic kettlebell exercises, such as the snatch or the clean. The presentation was framed as a comprehensive study on kettlebells when in reality it only focused on one kettlebell exercise specifically. I truly wonder how some of these findings would have differed if other ballistic kettlebell exercises were used (and at weights comparable to 80% of a one rep barbell max instead of an arbitrarily assigned weight of 16 kg).

Sir, I certainly appreciate the time and effort you took to present these Kettlebell studies. However, I prefer to take these results with a “grain of salt”, for several reasons: First, common musculoskeletal structure aside, we are all obviously unique in our physical and mental attributes, so I don’t think that the findings of “any” study applies 100% to me, as I have derived more aerobic and abdominal core strengthening over my 10 years of Kettlebell use than these studies would suggest. For example, my abdominal development, while not exactly in the “6-pack” realm, does exceed any gluteus development. (And this, using verified “correct” swing technique, both single and double-arm). Secondly, using only one weight (16kg) primarily in each study, for a very limited timeframe, in itself makes generalizations difficult at best. Also, just FYI, next time, please repeat the questions given, for us KZfaq viewers. Thank you once again for promotion of the Kettlebell!

Sadly most people don’t teach those exercises. At my gym the “trainers” there will use kettlebells all day and all they teach is swings. Teaching swings is the equivalent of handing someone a dumbell and teaching them bicep curls and overhead tricep extensions when there’s a million other (more beneficial and targeted) exercises that can be done with a dumbell, not to say that wings aren’t important but it’s only the tip of the iceberg.

I feel that his conclusion that traditional weight strengthening tools are superior to kettlebells if strength and power are the goals, is flawed. The bases measurement were single, repetitive movements (power jump, squat, clean) where something like weight lift training would excel, but in dynamic power movements, not measured by the research discussed, and where much of sports practice takes place, several muscle groups are activated. I began to use kettlebell training for my jiujitsu several years ago after I rolled with the strongest person I've ever felt on the mat. He said he practiced only kettlebells and said it made him into a different athlete. I'm almost 59 years old and train mainly with people in their 20's and 30's, and the most often comment I get is that they can't believe how strong I am. Thank you, kb.

I am a former runner, snowboarder, and competitive mountain biker and now use kettle bells, traditional strength, and steady state cardio every day following injuries and surgeries. It is no surprise AT ALL that treadmill work burns more Calories. The benefit comes with a combination of strength and caloric burn. The other exercise comparisons are cool, but ultimately useless due to the uniqueness of the exercises and outcome goal variance. It is also strange that the measurable of vertical, squat, clean, and bench are being used as performance indicators and are highly similar, or identical to, the traditional strength training methods directly compared against an abstract exercise using 35 lb kettlebell. I appreciate the presentation, but the presenter's analysis seems inaccurately applied.

@hamradiocq 6 жыл бұрын

There is no regard in these studies for hormonal effects (like insulin) of diet on what types of workouts burn sugar or fat. It was mentioned that kettle bells burn sugar... well that depends if the person is on a keto diet for example, or fasted for 5 days, or drinking soda and gatorade before the workout. I don't think the workout determines what is being burned. It's based on the individual and their insulin / cortisol / ketone levels + a lot more.

Calories in Calories out is an incomplete picture - we must take insulin into account. Our bodies are far more complicated then a calorimeter in large part due to insulin. Insulin drives calorie conversion into adipose and the body is very efficient at obeying itself when it tells itself to store fat through the signaling from higher insulin generation in response to higher carb intake. With lower carbohydrate intake - insulin production is lower and more stable - the lower insulin coursing through our bodies signals to the body that it is okay to use up adipose tissue. With insulin levels higher due to higher carb intake (sugar, grains), the body uses up very little fat and in response to glycogen/glucose depletion will stimulate a higher hunger response for - you guessed it - carbohydrates. Insulin "crashes" is closely correlated with hunger. Insulin is how the body signals to itself to convert calories as efficiently as possible to adipose. Lower insulin signals to the body that it is okay to "burn" body fat for fuel without triggering increased hunger for more calories. Of course, nothing is "100%" but having said that Nutritional Ketosis works.

Nothing wrong with experimentation. For me- I work out at home and have history of low back pain after deadlifting and squatting. So, I incorporate trap bar deadlifts and hip belt squats. But if I can get anywhere close to the benefits and do swings then that’s great. And of course burn some calories in a 10 min workout great. Seems like an area where research is nice but we can afford to experiment on ourselves for 2-3 months and just see. Kettlebell work is very motivating because there’s a flow and also you can just have them in places where you’re more to use them unlike a squat rack. You can bring a suitable kettlebell to the beach or a park or your lawn and do a bunch of exercises from swings to floor presses to rows and Olympic moves. Also, they’ll strengthen your grip.

I would have liked to have seen a better comparison of KB swings to a more relevant Semitendinosis exercise like prone Nautilus leg curl or toes out barbell squats. In all of these studies and in your interpretation of these studies, the factor of safety has never been addressed. KB swings are ballistic and pose a greater risk of injury than a slow or superslow tempo pure strength training protocol. Also, vertical jumping is one of the greatest risk exercises known, as it imposes forces = 9-11x bodyweight. This was also left out of the conversation. These risk factors should and have to become part of the decision making process of proper tool recommendations for athletes and non-athletes alike. BTW, the last study referenced by Monocchia, et al made me chuckle. I was classmates with Pat Monocchia while attending Brown back in the early 80's.

It's no wonder that powerlifting movements are the best option for pure strength, but comparing them with a swing of 16kg only is unfair, that amount is just a warmup. With heavier kettlebells, (and Turkish get up, press, front squat added to the swing) the results would be much flattering with a wider spectrum of qualities obtained with lower risk and time spent and more carry over as any other exercises bodyweight/powerlifting/weightlifting included (all better than KBs for specific goals).

Kettlebells are not made to increase your jump height or max squat, nor is it a replacement for solid state cardio like running. It is a great exercise implement which can turn out to be a sport if you pursue it. It can help with conditioning, is a tough endurance sport, is good as a muscle builder and for cardio, it has little to no impact on low bearing joints. Try it. If you like it continue. If it is not for you, try it later. It took me a couple of tries to get addicted to kettlebells.

And this was on a study with the subjects having at least a year of resistance training under the belt. It's no wonder that weightlifting improved their strength, they're training with a paperweight as a kettlebell. Swap in for a 32kg with no other variables changed and that's a different study.

This is why the NSCA is never to be relied upon. This “doctor” has spent 45 minutes talking about something he knows little to nothing about. He decided to quote a few inferior studies. First, the SQUAT and KB Swing are no more related than the deadlift and squat are! That’s pretty much the first thing any book on KBs will tell you, and simply by doing them you’ll see it to be so. One of main reasons for post KB swing back pain is allowing the bell to descend, rather than pulling it up high to near groin height, with the back lengthened and slightly extended (just like a deadlift)....it is a ballistic hinge movement, not an up/down raise lower movement. If your knees are bending you’re squatting. That’s WRONG. Number 2, 16kg is very light weight, which means only with a very high rep count could any athletic statistics emerge. Did you at least have any remote curiosity what effect of working with 32kgs and more might be. This is idiotic, like let’s do a study on benefits of bench pressing 120 lbs 30x and see what we learn. Just what Mark Rippetoe said, the “researchers” aren’t athletes, almost ever, and thus distort the tiny sliver of facts they’ve preselected to study rather than actually study the right questions. Shame on you NSCA.

No, kettlebells are not going to build you muscles like Arnold. If used properly (with additional calisthenetics), think greek statue and you are closer to the mark.

What a load of bs, swings with a 16 kg isn't even a fair comparison, try doing front squats, clean and presses, snatches with double 48kg bells and tell me you don't improve performance in every metric of athleticism... and build a ton of muscle

KBs: Not heavy enough to optimally build strength, and too heavy to optimally build cardio.

Yh, do a double 48kg kb clean and press for reps and tell me its light, and you cant get light ones for cardio? Yh okay
