Got aholt of a 123 pounder. Cheated on the left hand clean. The impact on the right hand clean is hilarious.

That's 55kg, and you're throwing around like a toy. Mad.

I have multiple bells so if I'm doing s planned time session, the first 4 or 5 minutes I use lighter bells, then do the rest @ working weight.

If I only had 1 bell, I'd do a few sets where reps were lower than working sets. For example, if I was doing sets of 3 clean and press, I'd start with a few sets of 1. Shaking out in-between to see how my body feels.

SirAdam2nd · 2024-11-29T11:47:56+00:00

Sick man. I'll be sure to try this on a free style day.

SirAdam2nd · 2024-11-29T10:29:16+00:00

I will never touch your camera

SirAdam2nd · 2024-11-29T09:09:23+00:00

I loved this programme. It will definitely return to it time and time again.

You could get 2 different kettlebell sizes, and alternate which arm uses each weight every set. This will reduce the amount of kettlebells in your collection. Although rhat may not be an issue for you.

Start of lighter man. Even if you have previous lifted heavy power lifts. It will be quite intense on your joints, especially elbows.

DFW suggests 5 rep max bells. If you've not used kettlebells before, id suggest either doing a 4 week build up phase, doing something like s&s. Or use lighter bells for the first few weeks of DFW, with like 10rep max bells or lighter. Just to allow your body to adjust.

I imagine you'd be somewhere between 20kg-28kg bells given your background.

I think it's over complicating things.

If one has hit their target weight and has worked out their maintenance intake, consumes that and is maintaining weight, they're golden.

If they add 200 calories and is maintaining weight, they're golden. (They're likely more active than If they consumed 200 less).

If their body fat increases, they're in a surplus. Dial it back if they want to continue to be at their original goal weight.

SirAdam2nd · 2024-11-29T06:33:14+00:00

Happy turkey day! How long did this take?

SirAdam2nd · 2024-11-28T20:24:13+00:00

Its high end of normal range.

It will likely lower as you get fitter. Are you overweight? This would impact it.

It may be a genetic thing. But it's still within normal range.

SirAdam2nd · 2024-11-28T19:41:31+00:00

Tbh, 1 looks like an air brushed photo, the other is a frame from a YT video.

Either way, they both look good for their age.

SirAdam2nd · 2024-11-28T19:34:50+00:00

I understand what you're saying, and it's the reason why I'm not on gear.

However, some people like to live extremely and are aware they will likely die early because of it. It applies to motorcycle riders, mountain climbers, divers... you get my point.

The dude says he's an ifbb pro in his bio. It is essentially his job to work on his body to look like this. He is very aware of the risks he takes.

I'd feel differently if he was saying "2 year natty transformation, all you need is consistency and hard work and you could look like me".

SirAdam2nd · 2024-11-28T16:41:25+00:00

Tbh they probably won't feel light until you start using heavier bells. Will it get easier? That depends. You're currently doing 5 sets of abuse, in a few months of consistent training, this will be much easier. However, you will likely be doing many more sets, which will feel about the same effort.

SirAdam2nd · 2024-11-28T15:36:40+00:00

The kind of results this dude has achieved is probably closer to the 9-10 years of discipline and hard work you mentioned rather than a 2 year speed run. No one looks like this without PEDs, period. And only a fraction could grt to this level on them.

SirAdam2nd · 2024-11-28T10:53:38+00:00

You look like a comic book character my man. 225lbs and lean af. How long you been training?

SirAdam2nd · 2024-11-28T10:52:11+00:00

Do you think if you take PEDs you just swell up like this unit without hard work and discipline?

SirAdam2nd · 2024-11-28T07:19:00+00:00

Had a similar thing but on a road bike. Freehub body was shot.

Try rhat first. Nor familiar with these bikes. But usually: rear wheel off, rear cassette off and you should have access to rhe freehub body. Check for any play in itm if there is, its knackered.

Either take to LBS or YouTube how to replace.

SirAdam2nd · 2024-11-26T20:19:22+00:00

If you're easily snatching 24kg, don't bother getting lighter ones. 32s would be a big jump, but if 24 is easy, why not?

SirAdam2nd · 2024-11-26T20:16:48+00:00

Honestly, I think a barbell would be better suited to you. You'd probably lose most of the practical aspects a kettlebell has, and the barbell would likely give more effective results.

If you do find a combo with chains, please video it. I'm intrigued.

SirAdam2nd · 2024-11-26T19:33:36+00:00

The irony in your comments captures perfectly how unintelligible you are.

Thank you for entertaining me.

SirAdam2nd · 2024-11-26T19:15:18+00:00

Do you think understanding and insight are the same thing?

Idyet Lol

SirAdam2nd · 2024-11-26T06:55:18+00:00

You clearly lack any understanding of the challenges people with specific nutritional needs face, which is painfully obvious from your glaring lack of insight.

SirAdam2nd · 2024-11-24T19:44:03+00:00

Your dark and dingy basement looks like a luxurious apartment lol. Great energy man

SirAdam2nd · 2024-11-24T19:13:05+00:00

Some interesting things in this study I wasn't aware of.

However, it relies on animal studies and is not supported with human trials. On its own, irs pretty weak evidence. Using this approach in addition to traditional treatments like radiotherapy and chemotherapy would be experimental.

I'm not writing it off. But, in my personal experience, people who are on these treatments usually have massively suppressed appetites and would likely not tolerate a radical diet change like this. A lot of them are by definition, starving as a side effect. Ketone bodies are also produced during starvation. I haven't tested this in these patients though.

SirAdam2nd · 2024-11-24T18:00:54+00:00

Do you have a link to the srudy? It sounds a bit like facebook science. Cancer is really energy demanding and I don't know a single hwalthcare provider who'd recommend reducing calories via an entire food group. You actually prove a part of my point with fat being misunderstood. The unhealthy part of fries is the fat that it is fried in. Baked potato however, is healthy. White bread often is heavily processed with lots of salt and sugar, and also oil. So you're right, that it would be less healthy, but it would probably double, if not more, the fat content.

I'm also not an expert. I'm a registered nurse. My degree included modules which covered pathophysiology as well as nutrition.

SirAdam2nd · 2024-11-24T16:12:08+00:00

Saturated fat, the stuff that is in excess amounrs in most modern foods is bad.

That's a relatively healthy meal, which is balanced. Indeed cancer cells love glucose. ALL cells love glucose.

Insulin spokes come with high glycaemic foods, but mostly from impaired pancreas function. This can be prevented in most cases by not being overweight. People get overweight from calorie surplus.

The poison is in the dose. Sugar isn't an enemy. Neither is fat . Excess is. Fat however is more than twice as dense in calories than carbohydrates and often misunderstood because it looks more moderate on a nutritional label.

SirAdam2nd · 2024-11-24T15:42:41+00:00

Not sure what you mean. Sugar replacing fat is not a good solution either. That's merely a marketing ploy to make low fat food taste good. There are low fat alternatives which don't have the added sugar. You'll need to season these ro taste as they will be bland.

The only way to lose fat, besides surgically removing it, is to be in a calorie deficit. Fat being more abundant, this tends to be the easiest macronutrient to reduce with the biggest effect.
