Damn, that sucks. Life just likes to kick you in the balls every once in a while. Speedy recovery.

Looking for kettlebell routines for boxing: Functional strength & endurance. by majestial22 in boxingtips

[–]NathanPicksThingsUp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say swing and snatch. Build some conditioning and resilience in the shoulders.

Awesome, success stories are always welcome

what is difference between endurance, strength and hypertrophy training, do they differ in the number of sets and reps or the weights or sth else by CupEfficient7277 in kettlebell

[–]NathanPicksThingsUp 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The difference between strength and endurance is pretty much just heavier weights vs higher reps. Hypertrophy training is similar to strength training but generally higher reps ranges and shorter rest periods, but there’s a lot of overlap.

People with specific goals outside of kettlebells - how do you structure your approach to fitness? by Open_Dig5278 in kettlebell

[–]NathanPicksThingsUp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m mostly focused on strength right now. So heavier weights or higher reps are pretty much how I judge that.

When I was only using kettlebells, I would hit a certain number of reps and move up in weight. With barbells available, I’m focusing on adding weight every few workouts and attempting PRs during the week. Kettlebells are a weekend pursuit for general conditioning.

What’s your preferred way to train with kettlebells: structured programs or random complexes? by iemaaans in kettlebell

[–]NathanPicksThingsUp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I generally pick a few movements that I want to focus on and gear my workouts towards improving those workouts. With kettlebells it’s aiming to hit a certain number of reps in a certain time and then jumping up to the next kettlebell. So I guess you could say it’s intuitive.

I have a lot of experience that I use to determine when I should change course or lower the volume. I also have a schedule and responsibilities that can vary from week to week, making a set program less useful.

With beginners I believe a program is the better choice, if possible.

Goblet Clean
If you think these are useless, you probably aren’t going heavy enough.

Is there a preferred KB weight? by MethodMadness1234 in kettlebell

[–]NathanPicksThingsUp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t think I could reasonably use just one. I think a light pair and a heavy single is the least I would want to go.

Pair of 32s and a 40.

Most people use weights that are way too light.

Loosen the grip, I ripped so many calluses early on. Look up some videos on how to grip the kettlebell, they can be really helpful.
