This is a unique angle on my answer to a question that was posted on my Facebook Fan Page. Make sure you hit the “LIKE” button when you go there :)

Pardon my camera angle, gotta keep everything legal in The Dirty Jerzee.

Enjoy….

I find it a problem when an athlete can squat and deadlift 400 lbs, bench press 300 lbs yet gets crushed by a 36 lb kettlebell both physically AND mentally.

Kettlebells force you to Man UP.

Kettlebells improve athleticism.

Kettlebells improve mental toughness.

Kettlebells are ONE tool, not the end all be all answer, BUT, they are a critical part of the various tools I use to help prepare the athletes of The Underground.

I train snatches, clean and push-presses and Turkish get ups with dumbbells/1-arm barbells. I would definitely like to train with kettlebells one day, but purely for variety. What are the advantages of these same movements with a kettlebell instead?

the KB will be off set in the grip, requires more athleticism and skill to maneuver the bell around the hand compared to a DB and of course you can use these movements as double KB skills which get BRUTAL!

LMAO.. I just revisited the kettlebell and all it’s glory. I was kindly reminded how much it can kick your @ss.
I love how it puts your ego in check.
