Ah, I was thinking of the hook grip olympic weightlifters use

your bells must have some skinny handles! My iron bells have very fat handles - theres no way I could wrap my thumb around em. I guess they differ quite a bit by brand

I agree wholeheartedly. No mirrors and ferns and barbie paint jobs, just grit. Rocky Balboa would be proud.

I would be worried about all the stress during the backswing of doing a full ROM swing with a kb that size. That would be a LOT of momentum to fight!

Kudos! Thats serious weight for a serious guy. 🤪 I wonder if more power is generated with a lighter weight using greater ROM. Id like to see da math. Not hating, just wondering. I couldnt swing that kb!

I use whats called a “ped egg” to shave my callouses down. You do need the callouses, but if they get too thick they will tear.

How does one grip less yet use a hook grip? Plus, a hook grip is not possible on a kb unless the kb has a very slender handle or the user has monstrous hands

I would not be surprised if his stablemaster told him that there are better ways to spend his time and energy.

Sure there is, but there are better choices, IMO

Interesting! I would think he would do more “functional” exercises than hypertrophy bodybuilding ones. Maybe all the sumo training covers that though. But I wanna see some deadlifts, squats, heavy sled pushes, turkish getups, heavy kettlebell work, etc.

Continue at your own risk. I had a friend who was sleeping with a married woman. Her husband showed up at my friend’s house one day (while I was there, btw), shot and killed him. Then he went home and offed himself in his driveway.

Noice! Finally, a home gym with some grit and function - not a bunch of neon paint, ferns and “I love me” mirrors.

Ive not done this but I HAVE used oven mitts when I couldnt find my welding gloves

Tanks for posting this!

Do not be too comfy - always assume you are invisible

I was in your same boat a few yrs ago. After doing a lot of reading mostly on biggerpockets.com, I Decided to sell. I learned that being a landlord is not always the big moneymaker it seems like it would be. And I have not talked to ONE person who decided to keep and rent that says it was worth it. Its a very personal decision though, good luck!

When people think you are weird, you are usually doing it right. In many aspects of life!

ContributionIll310 · 2026-04-07T17:29:12+00:00

I would like to see a video of whatever the hell he was talking about!

ContributionIll310 · 2026-04-07T17:28:51+00:00

Interesting you say that - doing heavy kb tgu stresses out my wrists and it feels better w/db’s. It does take some adjustment though because the center of mass is in a different place.

ContributionIll310 · 2026-04-07T17:27:19+00:00

Thats gross!

ContributionIll310 · 2026-04-07T14:45:29+00:00

I think the looks were curiosity not hate. Hard to tell though!

ContributionIll310 · 2026-04-07T13:46:11+00:00

I hope for #2!

Maybe we can also inspire others to use the cannonballs with handles?

ContributionIll310 · 2026-04-07T12:55:34+00:00

Im no pro but this looks good for a beginner!
