Anyone use / recommend kettlebells?

I recently got a 20kg one. Ive used it a few times for clean & press, OHP, floor press, curls, etc.

Not sure whether to go down the whole 'high volume kettlebell work out stuff' route, or buy a heavier one, or cut my losses.

It's sat in the corner of my room as we speak, judging me..

I bought one kettlebell 35lbs. I have not used it yet but my kettlebell is not judging me, it is very polite.

I do a lot of kettlebell training. Got a couple 25lbs, 35lbs and 60lbs.

Fun way to train if you're looking for something new.

Nice. I brought it initially just to add weight to pull ups & dips, but googled a bit and figured I'd try some of the actual kettlebell exercises. May keep doing them and see how it goes. If i don't have a heart attack..

Kettlebells are incredible, if I had the money to burn I'd get myself a full set from 15 lbs to 150 lbs

The amound of different ezercises you can do with them is nearly never ending

You could build a solid physique with only kettlebells

So yes, I recommend them

Do HIIT with it. I like this workout, 3-4 rounds of it with a couple minutes of rest in between. To make it more challenging I usually do 1-2 rounds with a weight vest on.

One that will fuk you up if you do all 3 rounds. Definitely take a few minutes rest in between rounds.

Need to get the technique down. I'm guessing you should keep your shoulder "down & back" with every swing?

I'm OK cleaning / pressing it from the floor multiple times when i can set myself. It's the whole ballistic element for 100's of reps that gives me the fear..
