Hi there,
Having a conversation with my mate who just sent me this - believing that this woman got this figure with ketllebells.
What do you think (or know) ?
Thanks!

She could've used kettlebells but I doubt that she used kettlebells exclusively.0

Regardless of what method she used...that figure took a lot of hard work and dedication to obtain and maintain.0

I believe you can get as swole as you want to with kettlebells excusively. But if your only goal is getting ripped, I'm not sure it's the best way to go about it. I use kettlebells regularly, but my goal is overall functional strength0

diet had more to do with it i bet0

While using kettlebells she obviously dieted and went to the tanning bed or spray salon.....Most people who compete on those type of competitions have trainers and use lots of different equipment while maintaining a very strict diet0

That's what I thought - but I don't know much about kettlebells. I've always done dumbells / barbell work.0

That goes without saying. Not what I'm asking though.0 -
A specific diet gets you more ripped than one exercise or piece of equipment alone.
She most likely did use kettlebells, I'm sure they had great results for her. They may even have given her better results than when she used another piece/s of exercise equipment. They alone did not get her that body though. She would've had to at least have had a great diet / eating plan alongside that too.0 -
Combined with an appropriate diet, you can use kettlebells for HIIT/exercise instead of running, Zumba etc so yes it is possible to get ripped (ie burn fat).
Also, to build muscle, it's possible she used very heavy kettlebells. Her muscles aren't exceptional. She has abs because she has a low BF% and her thigh muscles aren't huge like some female bodybuilders - she may have just done ****loads of Bulgarian squats holding a couple of 40kg kettlebells.0 -
You know you're too obsessed by fitness when you see a woman in a very revealing bikini and you study her like a judge studies a dog in Crufts... rather than nursing a semi.0

Hmmmm I may have the wrong impression of kettlebells.
Appreciate this woman has a low bf%.
Who knows a good site with info on kettlebell workouts? I'm curious now. I just assumed they were a fad type thing.0 -

Yes, she has a great body and she's clearly worked hard. I just spent a bit too much time examining her musculature rather than staring at her breasts.0 -
LOL photoshop!
That's what it looked like to me too. Her face is off0 -
