Kettlebells
Anyone use?
I bought a 20lbs one today since it was on sale at Target. Looking forward to using it and moving up to heavier ones. From what I understand it builds
muscle in a way that works best for martial arts.
The exercises involved are alot like the old style Shaolin lock style weights exercises.

Kettlebells are a great workout. It is best to have two of them though. How much did you get them for? I know they can get pricey.

Never heard of them, but they sound like something I'd be interested in. Explain please, or link?
Well, its this place where nobody works, and the pigs don\'t give you any shit. Everyone smokes weed and gets drunk all day. Its a place where
cunts like me and you can truly take it easy and relax. Know what I mean?

Dumbbells are more for strictly strength training, Mr. olympia type shit, you can use heavier weight than with a kettlebell and target specific
muscles better. Kettlebells on the other hand give you a wide range of motion which help with flexibility and stabilizing muscles. They help with
core strength and you use multiple muscle groups. Great for functional strength and athletics.

Yeah, if you're going for usable strength kettlebells are the way to go.
barc0de, most the exercises for kettlebells I've seen are for one at a time... so I'm not too concerned about having two of 'em yet. Ideally I'd like
to have s few.
I paid 40 bucks for 20lbs, and that was on sale. It's hard to find a store... even the likes of the Sports Authority... that sells any larger
kettlebells than 25lbs too. I think the only place I saw any higher was Play It Again Sports. They sure as hell ain't cheap.

Cool, that ain't bad considering what I've seen them go for. Check out a dude name Mike Mahler, he's done alot of good articles on kettlebell use.

Stay away from Mike Mahlers website right now, there seems to be a virus or something on it.
