I grew on barbell big lifts. Squats, Deadlifts, and bench were all ever knew. I got a kettlebell on whim just to have something indoors for days I couldn’t get to the Calisthenics park. Been swinging around this 50 LB / 22 KG orb of steel and I’m feeling and seeing a lot of improvements. Swings, presses, cleans and other mobility training has been a lot more fun and interesting. Going forward I’m gonna be rocking this thing along with my calisthenics. “Functional training” is now my goal now that i’m in my 30s. I want to be able move and groove with ease for the rest of my days, and I think this kettlebell may be the key to that goal.

    I try and do kettlebell swings everyday, and have been doing a largely kettlebell focused small routine for a few months now, i feel better than I ever did doing a normal bro weightlifting routine

      Same here. The bro split is fine by itself, it aint hurting anybody. However, I want to take my fitness to a different level (not even a higher level, just different) and stepping away from the same couple lifts will probably do me some good.
