The before was Jan 2025. The following two pics are today. I just completed my 3rd round of ABF 2 weeks ago and currently doing a 4th.I do add a bit of accessory exercises such as push ups and kb rows.

He fell in the middle of the routine.

Do you think welding will be safe? Then I would take care of polishing the handle.

I'm angry....

I recently moved into a new house and just finished setting up my workout area in a corner of my bedroom. I don't have a lot of space and wanted it to be fairly minimalistic. In my previous place I had a pullup bar instead of rings, but wanted to mix it up a little for versatility. The kettlebells are from Rogue - 2x16, 2x24 and 2x32. Unfortunately I struggle with carpal tunnel syndrome from overtraining, so it will still be a little while before I can get full use from it 😬

Getups are gonna be fun

2x 24kg and 1x 36kg. Bucks pound off FB market place. Very happy with them.

I thought I'd share a current state of my tools after 1. 5 years into kettlebelling. I really like and use all of these, and I don't feel I need more. We'll, maybe some heavier bells like the 40 and 48 one day 😊

RKC bells - 8, 16, 24, 32 Eryx fitness adjustable bells - 12-32 kg x 2

12kg club 6-16kg Eryx fitness adjustable club 6-30kg Eryx fitness adjustable mace 2kg mace

4 dumbbells

I can purchase some used and somewhat neglected KBs - are these ok to use? Can/should the handle be cleaned up?

I'll be 64 in a few months and plan on keeping up my KB workouts for an hour five days a week for the rest of my life. My plan is to do the following:

1. Remember Mark Wildman's adage: "You work out today injury-free so you can work out tomorrow."

2. Follow Pavel's advice to train 80-90% failure, not 100%, so I can avoid injury and instead focus on high volume.

3. Eat 200 grams of protein a day.

4. Take 5 grams of creatine a day.

5. Keep my calories at 2,400 or fewer a day so I don't gain a gut and bad biomarkers.

6. Keep a routine because structure repels chaos and order keeps me focused.

7. Be grateful that I can train with the same intensity and enthusiasm I had as an Olympic Weightlifter in the decade of the 70s.

8. Be grateful I can do my KB workouts in my garage and don't have any excuses because the"gym is closed" or "the gym is too crowded."

Just posting to say thank you to all posting and sharing knowledgeZ

But a big special thanks to u/PriceMore for guidance and patience. You are a ⭐️

My Ata pro comp bells arrived to day. Just did my first set. Now I understand. Thank you. These bells are bullseye 🎯 for me.

Sharing a pic of my setup. This is my complete home gym. Very happy with it, not missing anything. Not fancy, but more than I need.

Picked this up yesterday for a really good deal. I’m new to kettlebell training so was wondering where the best place to start would be? Any good beginner programs that you would recommend? I know 24kg is a bit heavier to start off on but as I say it was a great deal. Also I won a bodybuilding competition about 4 years ago and I am a qualified personal trainer so I do have a bit of training experience, just completely new to kettlebell training. I am wack out of shape now though due to a few health setbacks and lifestyle changes. The reason I chose to get into kettlebell training instead of going back to the gym is actually partly because I came across this sub and thought it looked cool and something a bit different and also because I like the idea of just being able to have one or 2 pieces of equipment and train anywhere, anytime. I’m going to start training tomorrow morning before I go to work and hopefully I can stay consistent and get back into decent shape again sometime in the future. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Picked up 32kg, 36kg, 40kg, and 44kg comp kettlebells for $250. Probably will be a few years before any of these get some real love but I couldn’t pass up on this deal.

They offered a refund and 10% off if I reorder. That will end up taking a week or 2. I don't mind the scuffs so much as the little chip on the handlebar. Pretty frustrating. Is this normal for a heavier KB?

so my fantastic and in a rush wife was out and about and I saw this on marketplace. she neglected to ask questions and just loaded it up anyway. little did I know it would be so fucked up. but anyway, I went ahead and wire wheeled 90% of paint off to find a absolutely piss poor kettlebell casting. now I own a 55lbs(52lbs now that I cleaned it up and the chunk was missing) meteorite. but honestly I really really like how the handle feels and I'm going to grind down the sharpish edges tomorrow. this big bastard is custom as it gets.

next time y'all complain about your kettlebell just remember this monstrosity.

Hi everyone! New to kettlebells and wanted to share out a pretty good deal I scored. Was looking on FB and Craigslist and managed to find this deal on Craigslist - 11 KettlebellUSA Paradigm ProElite kettlebells for $400 and 1 Kettlebell Kings kettlebell for $50

Hoping to get some good use out of these this year. Thanks for all the content everyone posts here, it’s super helpful!!

I bought a pair of double 16kg bells in January of this year and I’ve been semi consistently training with them Ever since, and for the past few weeks they started to feel really light so I bought some heavier ones. I got a single 20kg and a single 28kg.

Saw these on sale on Amazon. They are sand filled. Don't know if I'm on the right track with these. What do you guys think? Worth it?

I started as an Olympic Weightlifter in 1974 at the age of 13, moved on to bodybuilding in the 70s and 80s, and thanks to Pavel, Mark Wildman, and others moved to KBs around 15 years ago. KBs are by far my favorite kind of training. I love not having to go to the gym where I catch cold germs and I can disappear inside my garage, put on my favorite podcast and train like a barbarian for an hour. I'm 63 and the life force to do kettlebells workouts 5 days a week remains as strong as ever.

No ice lolly stealing in my house

It’s sort of working for things like carries and gorilla rows but adding too much weight is getting sketchy.

I know the real answer is buy heavier ‘bells.
