With Russian style or Hardstyle you can also swing doubles. I am starting a whole program on Monday with doubles. Double swings, cleans, snatches, double high pulls, squats, and snatches. But to reiterate with the swing -- you can go super heavy WITH proper form with the swing. I love heavy swings. :) makes my body happy!…

But I am biased. Super biased. Pavel's way of kettlebells have helped me lose 50lbs and add 10lbs of muscle on me. Kettlebells is all I train with. Some swimming for fun. But for strength it's all about Strongfirst way of doing kettlebells (for me!)

Nope. The Russian Swing is done with the hips too. I just don't like the American one. I don't see the point of bringing it overhead. Between belly button and chest height is all you need. And I don't think I could ever swing 48kg bell over my head! But I can swing that much Hardstyle. I would think going overhead prevents…

Haha, you just did it ;) I don't like the American Swing. I am much more fond of the RKC/HKC style swing. It does not go over the head. Snatches do -- but not the swing.

I am not fond of it... but mostly of the way they do kettlebells. :p That said, if you have proper coaches, and proper recovery time, and proper form -- have at it.

A couple people at the KB club I go to do that move as they practice their snatch for te RKC snatch test. It looks pretty seamless too when you get the groove.

I just purchased the Burn 2.0 and I am doing the math on all the nutritional values and it is MIND BOGGLING.. I am super heavy so they weight I am using to do the math is shocking me. I think I will still go under what he suggests as I went to a seminar with Danny Clark RKC and he did on the sly say sometimes women in…

I love double complexes. Today I did double swings, cleans, and squats. Ugh. First half was TGUs for 15-20 mins as a ladder. 1/1, 2/2, 3/3, 2/2, 1/1 etc. third half was just :30 in :30 off with swings for 14 rounds. It was a good day. I still have issues with squats where my knees want to cave. Today I practices with…

Have y'all ever seen what Golds gym says to do with KB?…

I love everything Lauren Brooks does. And Tracy Reifkind. A lot of people also do not know the difference of American KB or Sport/competition. And to me crossfit kb looks downright painful.

I am 5'4 but I haven't lost too much yet. In total I need to lose about 120lbs. But here are some pictures. (The dress I am wearing under the corset is a size 22, from Dress Barn, The red dress is a size XL from New York and Company!) I started off at 262, I am around 222 right now. My goal is is to lose at least 120lbs,…

Tracy Reifkind is amazing -- she lost over 100lbs doing the Swing. Also, Lauren Brooks. DEFINITELY look for people who are CERTIFIED. I enjoy the Russian style over the sport or american style too... Tracy and Lauren do the RKC/Hardstyle versions. This website is great too: http://www.myomytv.com/

thanks y'all! It is a lot of hard work but it is totally worth it. It is a slow progress but I know if I do it this way it is more liable to stay this way and be a true lifestyle change instead of a quick fix that I fall off the wagon too easily. I am getting healthy for me, my husband, and my baby boy!

thanks! Plus it said scurvy too, instead of CURVY. I love autocorrect!

Maybe with a little less muscular. OR Just be smooth and curvy like Christina Hendricks.

I have been watching what I eat but I am not a fanatic about it. Mostly portion sizes! I also avoid any and all sodas even if diet. If I use sweetners its stevia. I have also tried to replace my beloved pasta obsession with items like zucchini noodles (using a julienne peeler) . I still have a bread fascination but I am…

Thanks everyone. It is tons of hard work for sure. Some days are simply so discouraging and others are uplifting. I do know while the scale might go down slow for some of us, we also need to look at our ENERGY level for instance. I have so much more energy just with 30lbs lost. Which is good since I have a 14 month old on…

Definitely look for RKC certified too. There are many out there that try to show videos of them doing it but it may not be the proper form. My favorites are: Tracy Reifkind, LAUREN BROOKS, and the Myomytv.com already mentioned. They are my favs as well.

Hey! This is what I am being taught in the intro classes at Richmond Kettlebell Club. I have been practicing the half get up with 10lbs and doing that pretty easily. I can also get to the kneeling position pretty easily (though I am apparently severely uncoordinated and my knee does not want to form a line to my hand on…
