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 got a kettlebell but I’m never confident enough in my form doing kb swings.
It’s very instructive to do some kettlebell towel swings, they’re extremely good for showing you if you are using poor form. http://kettlebellbasics.net/2014/05/30/the-towel-kettlebell-swing-2/
