I've heard that the limit for kettlebell reps should be 100 snatches. Is that 100 snatches per side or 50 per side for 100 total? 100 for each different exercise or total of all exercises? more »

My wife asked what it was I do with kettlebells. I offered to demonstrate, and showed her Swings, Snatches, the Clean & Jerk, Windmills, and the Sidepress. I told her that Swings are a core movement, and suggested she give them a try. more »

Pavel, after studying your video and taking into account my favorite exercises I have came up with a 20 minute kettlebell routine. Is that sufficient? more »

Does anyone have ideas for killer kettlebell abdominal exercises? The pass through the legs seems to use the abs for stabilization, but seems to primarily work the back. more »

With great anticipation I opened my Kettlebell tape and shoved it into my VCR. I was not disappointed. Your presentation and instruction are first rate. The thing is, I'm not sure how to structure a routine. more »

I'm a reformed HITer. I used High Intensity Training style training in the past and have to admit that I did have a decent amount of success with it. How can I apply HIT protocols to kettlebell training? more »

I just thought I would post this for anyone who might be interested. All workouts are done in 20 minutes, rest periods are kept to around 60 seconds. more »

Machine wusses can stop reading now. This is the routine I will be using for the next two weeks starting Saturday. The main point is variety, mixing up heavy days and light days, and having fun. more »

I believe kettlebells are the best conditioning tool out there. Saturday and Sunday I did swings & snatches. I started out pretty easy because I didn't want to over do it. more »

I just received my Russian Kettlebell Challenge video and have watched it twice already, but being a beginner I don't have a clue on how to proceed as far as a program or routine is concerned. (Although I have read a few posts about using ladders and that sounds like a good idea.) Also, I will probably use dumbbells at least for the time being. more »

I've purchased the tape and I love it, and I believe I have a decent routine down for increasing performance in wrestling. more »

I'm currently doing one-arm snatches with the 24 kg kettle bell, 10-15 reps per hand, resting 30-40 seconds, and then hitting it again until I reach 100-120 reps total. For variety I'll try to reach higher straight numbers with the 16 kg kettle bell, like 30-40 for each hand. more »

I've just begun finishing up my Power to the People workout with dumbbell snatches for reps. I'm just surfing to see what reps, sets, and rest intervals everyone is using. more »

My largest kettlebell is perfect for one-arm deadlifts as described in Bulletproof Abs. It's heavy enough to do the job and really works the grip, but is much easier to balance than a barbell and it really works the abdominal obliques. more »

Does anyone do deadlift singles as a workout routine? I'm wondering if there are benefits to singles vs the conventional 5 reps or vice-versa. I've had some problems getting 5 good reps in the deadlift no matter what the weight, but I'm able to go heavy with good technique on singles. more »

I try and train with kettlebells five days per week, concentrating almost exclusively on snatches and bent presses. I'll do snatches with the 24 kg kettle bell, 10 reps each hand alternating until I reach 150-200 reps (total). more »
