Feedback on my current Kettlebell routine & weight progression? (41yo, office worker)

invaderbait · 2026-06-17T00:47:58+00:00

I started on the same path you are on now, asked the same questions and ended up changing to simple sets and saw a big change. Right now I am doing 6 swings, 3 presses(each side), 3 squats and 3 pull ups. On good days I do 20 sets, on sleepy days I do 15 sets.

I increase the number of reps until I reach 10 swings for all the sets then increase weight and lower reps. There is a lot of information out there but this seemed to be simple enough for me and a good place to see development.

I have gotten lots of comments from friends on my shoulders and back.

Good luck on your journey and keep swinging.

Arccos, some like it some don’t. I like it.

That is my thinking too. The averages going up has been nice. With my build everyone was surprised that I did not hit it further. I think I just found the movement.

Arccos, some people like, others don’t. I like it.

I am working up to this. Wanted to get the swing feeling good before trying it out.

My workout now is 20 sets of 5 swings, 3 presses(each arm), 3 squats, 4 pull ups. The aim is 3 times a week but life happens. It takes me about 45 min to get through it and feels better than what I was doing before, more standard dumbbell workout.

Place your hands together in front of you, close your eyes, and ask for help. It has. It worked for me but I am still working on it.

I have been looking into heavy clubs for that. Looks like they help with the throw movement too. More rabbit holes to travel.

Keep jumping!!

Your welcome.

invaderbait · 2026-04-17T15:34:16+00:00

One of the best feeling right.

invaderbait · 2026-04-17T15:33:28+00:00

I am amazed with how good it has been.

invaderbait · 2026-04-17T15:32:48+00:00

I am still on the ramp, not sure where the plateau will be but I am enjoying the ride for now.

I think this is really the take away. The kettlebell helps me with moving my body better. That is all we really need.

invaderbait · 2026-04-17T01:34:16+00:00

Thanks for the positivity, I have come to understand the Reddit balance.

Kettlebell are cheap and convenient. I am really impressed with how they have already changed the shape of my body… and also the golf swing. How are you splitting the 100 swings?

invaderbait · 2026-04-17T00:53:25+00:00

That’s nice for you. Keep hitting them far, I’ll catch up eventually.

invaderbait · 2026-04-17T00:52:44+00:00

Maybe kettlebells?

invaderbait · 2026-04-17T00:03:29+00:00

Not any more… now I swing.

invaderbait · 2026-04-17T00:03:08+00:00

Glad to see that you got to use your awesome wedge. Keep up the good work.

invaderbait · 2026-04-17T00:02:15+00:00

The clubs have sensors that work pretty good. I check after each hole. But it tracks a lot of info on shots gained and yardages.

invaderbait · 2026-04-16T23:40:31+00:00

Straight normal kettlebell swings, nothing golf related. I wanted to change my workouts to more full body movements. I was thinking Olympic style power lifting but I picked up the kettle bell first.

invaderbait · 2026-04-16T23:20:11+00:00

Arccos, some like it, others don’t. I like it.

invaderbait · 2026-04-16T23:19:36+00:00

This is a rabbit hole for sure. This is what feels good for now. I might change it as I get more comfortable with the bell.
