Based on these tips, what weights do YOU plan on starting with? Let me know in the comments below 👇 📲
12, 16, 20 kg 💪🏼
@@coach_nicolewest I just purchased a 20kilo coming in the mail. It's more than I can do presses with (I can maybe press it once with my right, not sure yet) but I can DIY myself some sandbag kettlebells up to 40lbs, which is what I have been working with. I plan to use the 20kg for swings until I can build up to other things.
what brands do you recommend to buy the kettlebells from? I want the wide handles
@@hoopsdwj Great question! If you like the wide handles, then you are looking for sport style kettlebells. They're more expensive, but I personally love them. Eleiko is my preferred brand, but Titan Fitness, Kettlebell Kings and Bells of Sport are all great as well. Hope this helps!
I really like it that your mentioning lbs AND KG not only one of them. So many influencers and youtubers only use one of them.. they have thousands of followers but don't mentioning both most of the times. Thanks a lot for this video!
You are welcome! I am glad you enjoyed it
I started using 8kgs competition KB at my nearby gym, now I upgrade to 12kgs (full iron and not the competition type) for my home workout. Very grateful I still can maintain my body even without having to go to a gym. KB becomes my prized possession now.
That is awesome!! I appreciate you sharing
Thanks a lot for this crisp Intro, everything quickly and thoroughly explained wit kg and lb, perfekt for me.
Glad the tips and explanation was helpful!!
I bought my first KB in 2002. I was 18 and they quickly became my primary workouts. Over 20 years later they have served we well. Kept me in great shape, minimal to zero injuries. Only thing I added was dip bars and a pull up bar. I ave tried different mats over the years. The one I found best was a 5x10 Zebra roll out mat. Plenty of space for really any workout and easy to clean.
I LOVE hearing this! That’s rad that you added a dip bar and pull-up bar. Those are great additions, and that’s awesome that you found a good mat too. Truly makes all the difference when they’re easy to clean like you said. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment! Much appreciated!
These are the sanest weight recommendations! Thanks from India.🙏🙏🙏
You are welcome!!
This video is straight up gold if you're walking around with apparently the most obvious newbie question ever imagined. 😅
Good vid- actually useful info and straight to the point.
Glad you found it useful
Aye so glad to see you doing this! Saw it on IG and came right over! Looking forward to the videos coach 🤙💪
I appreciate the support brother! Stoked to see you over here on TH-cam!! Can't wait to get the long form content rolling!!!
the best video seen for this question! nicely done
Thank you! I appreciate your comment and glad this video was helpful.
I'm able to just make DIY Sandbag/Kettlebell up to about 40Lb's without them becoming clunky (Sand and water jugs in a Backpack or a Bowling ball bag for swings and C+P's) So I got a 20Kg bell to start with coming in the mail. I know i can't comfortably do presses with the 44lb yet atleast not more then 1-2 with shakey form. But i figured it was a good weight for swings and I will work up to it with my DIY bags of lesser weight.
Love it dude! Great video. Proud of you, my little ginger monster.
I appreciate you man!! We are due to catch up soon! Let’s make it happen 🙌
As a 40 y.o. man with stationary life style and with family, I started with 8kg bell at home. I feel 8kg is too heavy for over head press. I will buy a 4kg and a 12kg bells later. My strength, doing house chores and carrying kid very satisfactory after a year i started death lift, swing and press only. Previously i bought some pairs of dumbbell and a exercise bench with peddling legs, they did not work out and had to ditch off due to space.
As a 67 year old woman new to this even a 10lb kettlebell is hard to lift over my head.
Hang in there and keep it up. I'm 62 and have been lifting for a while. Start where you need to start, and you'll improve from there. I went from puny to being able to deadlift my own weight by just sticking to it for a couple of years.
Love the information, great job!
Thanks brother! I appreciate it 🙌
This was so helpful. Thank you.
Glad this was helpful and thank you for leaving a comment.
This is amazing Coach 😂 10/10
Thanks Theo!! Glad you enjoyed the bloopers at the end 😂
Appreciate the content Gabe! I will follow and like bro!
Hey I appreciate the support! Thanks for the follow-I’ll keep the content coming 🤘
Where is the best place to buy the kettlebell weights you suggested for men?
@@dont3941 That is a solid question, and the answer is it depends on where you live/what your budget is.
If you’re in the lower 48 of the U.S. and want the most bang for your buck, I would highly recommend checking out Titan Fitness, as they offer free shipping on all orders which is HUGE Savings when shipping weight.
My personal favorite is Eleiko due to their handle shape, but they tend to be more expensive.
I have links to both brands in the description of this video if you want to check them out 👍
Hope this helps!
This was a great informative video. I have a 16kg when I started learning kettlebell in lockdown... Didn't use it loads and was quite heavy but was great for swing. But recently want to get back in to kettlebells especially double kettlebell swings. I bought two 12kg for this... Did I make the right decision?
Thank you so much for the short talk the other day on Insta & for the helpful content! Keep it up & with your guidance I hope to make 2023 a big year for me 💪❤️
My pleasure! I’ll keep it up for sure! Let’s smash some goals, shall we?? 🙌💪
Super helpful. Thanks.
My pleasure! Glad you found this helpful!
Saw you couple times on IG dropped a follow. Being doing light kettle bell work outs since start of Jan and down 4kg already.
Hey I appreciate you dropping a follow on IG and taking the time to content here! Love hearing that you’re down 4kg!! Keep up the strong work 🤘
Thank you Coach
My pleasure! Thanks for dropping a comment 🙌
Thanks for the video! I have been doing a kettle bell programme for the past few weeks now which has been amazing! I am planning to do more of it at home and I don't want to damage the flooring. Do you recommend rubber based kettle bells?
My pleasure! I'm pumped to hear that you've found a kettlebell program you enjoy!! When it comes to ketlebells, I recommend sticking to cast iron kettlebells without the rubber base, because the rubber bases tend to leave marks on hard surfaces. To prevent damaging the flooring, an exercise mat will suffice. Spri makes a really nice mat that works great for warm-ups/stretching and doubles as a great place to set the kettlebells down between working sets. There are also some pretty inexpensive puzzle piece exercise mat options if you are looking for to create small workout area. Hope this helps!
@@coachgabewest Thanks for your prompt reply Coach! I live in a small studio flat so something that can roll up will be better. With regards to the mat, does it need to be wide like 4 feet wide or will a typical sized mat (like a yoga mat but denser) is enough?
@@FarrugiaJose of course! When it comes to the mat size some thing about the size of a yoga mat but more dense will work. The brand I mentioned previously (Spri) is great for rolling up, although I’m sure there are other options out there. The reason I like there so much is that they don’t slide around as much as other brands I’ve used, and they even make some with metal eyelets so if you ever decide you want to hang it up instead of rolling it up you have the option 🤘
@@coachgabewest amazing! Do you think the size is enough for a Turkish Getup? 👀
@@FarrugiaJose I have done TGU's on them, but you have to be strategic about where you start on the mat to make sure you get your knee placed on it when swinging your leg through.
I have a few kettlebells. two 12KG, two 16KG, two 32KG and one 15 pound kettlebell. Unfortunately due to a few injuries i can't use my balls like i would like too. 12KG seems heavy for a 5'11, 185 pound man like me. I'm thinking of getting one 8KG. Im sure many girls can lift more than me lol...oh well. Thanks for the video
That’s great that you have some kettlebells! And no worries if the 12kg feels a little heavy. You can work your up to it from an 8kg for sure. Thanks for dropping a comment 🙌
3 sets of 10 reps continuously or have 1min rest between each set? Thanks
Great questions, I would rest 60-90 seconds between each set
I think I'm gonna go with the 15kg as I'm used to barbell and have been training for 3-4 years.
@@anowarjradwan That sounds like a plan to me 🙌
Started with a 16 got into a motorcycle accident and went down to a 12 and now im going to order a 24. Im gonna skip the 20 for now and see if im gonna eventually end up getting another 16 or two 20s
I'm sorry to hear about the accident. Good on you for getting back to training! Some folks are able to skip right over the 20 in the beginning, especially if they have particularly strong legs. Will be cool to hear what the next bells you get after some more training!
Love love love your advice and techniques! Thank you for your time, advice and help!
That means a TON! Thank you!! I appreciate you taking the time to leave me a comment and let me know that 🙌
Any recommendations on where to buy kettlebells? I prefer to find kg but all I can seem to find are lb and the intervals are not 4kg. (Located in the US)
I would highly suggest Titan Fitness! I should have a link in the description of this video if you want to check them out. They have kg bells, and free shipping on all orders within the lower 48. Hope this helps!
Old fella totally out of condition on a weight loss journey. I have here a new 12kg Kettlebell. Regarding the swing for fat loss - right now I cannot complete a full minute. How do I judge when to buy a heavier KB? e.g 3 mins or 5 mins or 10 mins of swing non stop without getting too puffed?
It depends on what your goals are. Sounds like you are heading more towards a cardiovascular goal with the non stop swinging. Where as if you were strength training it may be when your reps and sets can be completed without maximal effort. I am making a youtube video on this topic soon. In the mean time, I recommend checking out my beginner kettlebell workout video for more exercise movements. th-cam.com/video/QUc0nGTjnoc/w-d-xo.html
I love working out with Kettle bells but I have really tight legs, especially my hamstrings. Once I do a fair amount of Kettle Bell swings, it becomes painful to walk around for a week. I'm not talking DOMS either.
I'm hoping I can get back into it but I'm worried that with such brittle legs I'm not going to be able to train, even if I want to focus on the upper body and core side of things.
Hoping once you release some exercises I can work my way around things with some stretching too
I appreciate you sharing this with me. I actually have another video coming out today and talk about a good prerequisite to hit for awhile before performing KB swings that you might find helpful. Hope this helps 🙌
Try using lighter kettlebells at first, and dont work urself, do like 12x3 sets only of kettlebell swing deadlift, and goblet squat, no need to do more than 3 sets. hopefully you find a medium that doesnt make u sore to walk a week. I went to heavy the first time, and did like 10 sets each. thats why. Train smart! so u can train consistently
When selecting the lightest weight you spoke about being able to do 3 sets of 10 “unbroken” what exactly does that mean? How many seconds rest between sets did you mean?
Great question! What is meant by 3 sets of 10 unbroken is the ability to perform 10 consecutive repetitions with one hand without setting the Kettlebell down, switching sides, and Performing 10 reps on the other side consecutively without setting the Kettlebell down. Once 10 reps are performed on both sides, take a 60 to 90 second rest period before repeating the process for a total of three rounds. Hope this explanation helps! 🙌
@@coachgabewest
Yes it did help, thanks for replying
Love the work you’re doing with the channel
@@kumbazzz my pleasure! Thank you for the kinds words and the support 🤘
What’s your advice on if you can only get one ? What would your advice be ?
I will actually have a video coming out on May 3rd that will cover this exact topic. Stay tuned and thanks for watching
Good advices indeed !
4 kg heavier.
Glad you found it helpful
❤sending love to my new favorite ginger 😂TY
You are welcome 😆
outro cracked me up
Glad you got a good laugh 😆
Can't I just use my dumbells?
New subscriber! Thank you for the help
Happy to help!
Great video.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it
I will start with 12kg
Let me know how your first workout goes 💪
Can't I just do these with my dumbbells?
@@schobes Great question! With many exercises, particularly grind exercises like single arm rows or single arm overhead presses, yes.
And while you can do something like a dumbbell swing, you won’t get the same benefit as swinging a kettlebell due to the weight distribution relative to axis rotation.
Anytime a weight is further away from an axis of rotation it makes it harder to lift (I.e. picking up a shovel by the scoop vs. the end of the handle) and since the kettlebell weight is distributed further from the handle (rather than on either side of the handle like a dumbbell), the force of gravity applied to that weight on the descent of a ballistic exercise makes it harder to decelerate, so you tend to get a greater stretch reflex out of your hamstrings, for instance, which leads to great gains in power (the explosive aspect of strength) than if it were performed with a dumbbell. Hope that explanation helps 🙌
@@coachgabewest thanks!
@@schobes you are welcome 🤘
I add ankle weights to mine to increase the weight
Interesting does that impact your grip on the bell?
@@coachgabewest no, they sit on the lower part of the handle, however I don’t lift them over my head, and I wouldn’t recommend it for that. I just use them for rows one knee on the bench and light deadlifts or exercises that won’t swing or lift above the head.
@@dossegundos7145 That makes sense and smart for the exercises you are doing
Give me the biggest Bells you can find!
for what?
Buy ONE adjustable kettlebell from bells of steel 🤙🏽
Their adjustable kbs are amazing!!!!
if you see an american using kg instead of lbs then that guy must be a kettlebell lifter
I’ve shared with my sister to get her to do this with me. I need a partner in crime!
I appreciate you sharing this with her, Pam 😃
It should be called a kettle ball
😆 I hear individuals take creative liberty and call them that anyways
Stay humble
Quit with the KG's, most Americans only know LBS. All my kettlebells are marked in LBS. Nice info BYW👍
Thank you! I do have people from all over the world watch my videos so including kg is important for some of my viewers. I have kbs from Titan Fitness, Rogue, and Eleiko and they all have kgs listed.
Utter nonsense. Spot the uneducated united states american
