Any of you ever give any thought to training for one of the big boy(strongfirst/dragondoor) KB certs? Nobody here has prolly completed one since there's only 2 instructors of either in the state of LA. Just wondering
I've been teaching KB techs for almost 10 years but never put in the time to train for the cert & become an official instructor. Shits pretty tough. Anyway, any amateur kettlebell guys/gals amongst the OT?

Not much demand for it that I see
There is a kettlebell class at my gym.
Don't see many people in it
Also a decent size dumbbell rack in the freeweight area that not many people use

That's cause nobody knows wtf to do with them. Everybody I train gets introduced to the basics. Most love it once they understand it

meatheads aren't doing kettlebells, bro

If you wanna talk hgh and carb loading then get back to me. Right now I'm buying some new Y backs to accommodate this winter bulk.

I use the term loosely. Most true "meatheads" would tear a labrum the first time they attempted a Kb snatch

I tie them to my waist when I'm doing dips or prowler pushes. Also have a 10lb one I use as a door stop.

That's the lift I was telling you about.


It's like they're training for a roll in the remake of the video "Turn down for what"

I was in a class in SoCal with a StrongFirst instructor and he knew his shite. I learned more technique with his instruction than I ever knew as possible. I love KB's and prefer doing them outdoors.

That's how I got started. Bret jones is a master SFG. Worked with him for a few days back in 09 at workshop & have been weaving them into my programs since
