Hey, /fit/

I actually trained my back with a 25kg kettle bell, and got amazing results. Also, it's a russian invention. Can't really remember its original name, Giraya or something like that.

Anyway its great since there are sooo many exercises that you can do with a kettle bell.

Dumbells don't work your supporting muscle groups in ways like kettlebells and also don't work coordination for shit in most cases.

bad argument is bad

almost anything that can be done with a kettle bell can be done with cables equally well

Kettlebells are a rip-off, the russians are getting better at capitalism then us.

In Soviet Russia, kettlebell weight was measured in poods.

So you can do clean and press with perfect vertical resistance and continuous weight resistance (y'know, like real weight) for an entire lift on a cable. Huh.

Actually cable machines are more like free weights than regular machines, as you still have to stabilise the load.

True. But they're more like machines than freeweights because they're rigged to a machine.

It's a fucking ball of iron with a handle on it, you're not going to need a lot of specialized equipment or labor to make them. The prices should reflect this.

Sir, I feel like buying you a pood. This thread is win and all the butthurt brokefags (got mine for the price of a dumbbell, would tell you where but you're all butthurt and probably wouldn't be able to type in the url because your hands are too wet from BAWWWWing all over the keyboard) can cry elsewhere.

OP, you need to practice cleaning and snatches or you will fucking break a bone with this thing. Really learn how to use tension to your advantage and rack the bell properly or you will end up bruised and pissed. Snatches took a while to get with my KB and I still am sloppy but they are great for popping a fucking lung. Anyways, keep your arms down and in, squeeze the bell when it gets vertical so it doesn't fuck your forearms and pop those hips. God I love this shit.

Steps to Fitness
1. Chase cable-using training partner while whipping kettlebell around and screaming to prime adrenaline and sympathetic nervous response(remember proper form).
2. Catch victim/partner with kettlebell toss to knee(s).
3. String up incapacitated cable user like soon-to-be-cleaned deer carcass on his beloved apparatus.
4. Remember: focus on proper back & hip alignment as cableman begs for mercy. No distractions!
5. Say something pithy like "This is from russia, with love."
6. Drop the hammer.
Option: For more experienced comrades, use one leg only.

(seriously though, use what works for you. just don't be a fatty who doesn't get out of the chair because it's raining, the gym is too far away, they don't have the right machine, etc. and to OP, good luck with the KB!)
