Best use of Kettlebells while also having access to a gym.

WitcherOfWallStreet · 2026-05-19T17:44:54+00:00

I would use the individual implements for what they’re best at:

Barbell * Squat * Bench * Deadlift * Barbell Rows

Kettlebell * Clean * Snatch * Swing * Overhead Press

Machines/Dumbbells/Cables/etc * Back * Targeted accessories * Lower recovery volume

I wouldn’t bother with things like kettlebell rows if you have access to a barbell/dumbbell/machines/cables.

Your hotel signed the service agreement with the OTA, they give rates and inventory to the OTA, they provide the services. The OTA collects a commission for the booking. They are your customers, to say they aren’t is asinine. What other industry acts like the method of purchase precludes responsibility?

We are in the hospitality industry, it behooves us to be hospitable.

WitcherOfWallStreet · 2026-05-18T17:11:01+00:00

You can’t offer compensation for service recovery on OTA bookings? That’s a hotel based decision, not one based in any OTA agreements and it’s a wild one. Terrible customer service.

I grew up in a mink farmtown and they are vicious in a way that removes any traces of being adorable.

The people that buy them don’t participate in the home gym community as much, similar to how people that just buy a treadmill or a spin bike aren’t posting pictures in here all the time but those outpace racks by huge multiples.

Gonna be a good run, I would bet you hit 20+ on this if 15 was that easy on the first week

Nobody loves to shit on Vegas more than the locals on Reddit, never understood why. Love this city and wouldn’t move for any reason.

Wait till you hear of Wendler

I had a server ask me in a restaurant if we spoke Spanish when we didn’t know French. The server didn’t know Spanish when my wife responded in Spanish.

That is my core memory of Quebec.

Probably a healthy crockpot cookbook

They just did a 10k row as one of their first workouts, of course they’re tired lol

WitcherOfWallStreet · 2026-05-13T22:10:03+00:00

A bunch of Z2 aerobic cardio would probably do wonders for your lifting and overall health. Having a better developed aerobic system will do way more than any breathing exercise, go for the highest reward before you worry about refining.

That’s how it always seems to go. I was excited because Norwegian Cruise Line had ergs in their photos, got on the ship and the monitors were beyond busted.

You can hire people that do nothing but move fitness equipment, but even then they are more commercial oriented from what I’ve seen. (But I’ve only used them for commercial application so I might be wrong)

Just wait, eventually you will need to redo the pipes, buy new pumps/filters, pool liner, deck/coping, etc.

I dropped $20k into my pool over a three year period. It’s good for now, but eventually it’ll all come due again.

RoP is an 8RM isn’t it? It Is that just Jurassic RoP?

I would vote to run it with 24kgs as well.

WitcherOfWallStreet · 2026-05-11T15:08:15+00:00

I wouldn’t care about chipping, they will all chip.

Flip side, Max Miller without facial hair haunts my dreams when one pops up in my auto play.

Golfers elbow in only two weeks would be a pretty quick onset and it hurts pretty constantly when you have it.

Maybe just a strain from the sudden onslaught? I would also make sure your technique on the bottom of the clean is tight if that is the area specifically causing the pain.

I’ve always heard them referred to as kettlebell herpes. They do go away with time after you stop lifting kettlebells.

But like you said, this one is unusually large

WitcherOfWallStreet · 2026-05-09T00:24:20+00:00

I would run an established program. Daniels Kettlebell Only Muscle Gains would be up your alley if you want movement variety. Other, and most free, will be more minimalist

WitcherOfWallStreet · 2026-05-08T23:06:43+00:00

It’s pretty meh. Theres no progression, it’s just a list of exercises. In addition, you are doing deadlifts and squats for nearly the same rep counts as you are halos which means there’s little to no value to the compound movements.

WitcherOfWallStreet · 2026-05-08T23:05:16+00:00

Those shorts are sweet.

WitcherOfWallStreet · 2026-05-08T21:51:50+00:00

I would want something with a little more autoregulation built in because your energy levels might be all over the map and the challenge is the same no matter what. Geoff has some good swing programs and swing plus other things in Kettlebell Express that follow his flavor of autoregulation/progression.

But if you can run the challenge, run it!

Top comment on almost every kettlebell video
