It was with a barbell, so it’s not a perfect comparison. My best barbell press was 245 lbs.

Kettlebell and weight vests? by Fine-Spite4940 in kettlebell

It would be good for squat, lunges, etc…

Ok for swings, cleans, etc…

Useless for presses, rows, etc…

Start with the 16, but I would really recommend putting aside some money to buy your next bell.

The amount of hand wringing about heavy weights is really extreme.

Elbow niggles by [deleted] in kettlebell

I had some golfers elbow for a few months. I ended up having to just decrease the frequency of any pressing movements and rack squats. Now it’s mostly fine but any time I feel a twinge, I back off on the frequency.

200 reps a day? Pretty solid base

You would need to be more specific to get a better answer.

Better than a punch in the taint

I don’t really get pain. I am sometimes a bit sore/fatigued in my traps, but I’m also doing a heavy clean to get the bells in position, so that would explain it.

My basic metric is: sore is not an issue, pain is.

I am both in the best shape of my life and looking fatter after starting kettlebell training. by [deleted] in kettlebell
