    Mark Wildman and Coach Mandler were instrumental in opening my eyes to the world of kettlebell. Of course over time and after much research, I have discovered and added you, Taco Fleur (Cavemantraining), Kat (of Kat's Dojo), and Louka (in no particular order) to my list of top kettlebell coaches and go-to resource persons for ketllebell training.

      I like Marks channel as well inc his clubbell and bodyweight series....Lebe, Mark and in the beginning Pavel are my goto coaches @Lebe what is your view on Clubells? I have just started using them to recover from a shoulder injury and they compliment KBs I think

    Great vid, Coach! Love the positive vibes. Coach Wildman was my first real intro to the kettlebell (although I was aware of kbs back in 2007). After Wildman, the same pesky algorithm put you on my radar, which I am extremely grateful for. 🙏 Keep up the good work! I'm gonna check out these coaches other folks are recommending.

    Cool vid Gregory, for me you and Chandler Marchman have been most instrumental in my kettlebell development constantly inspiring me and fuelling my knowledge and interest of kettlebells as well as Dan John, steve Cotter, pavel tsatsouline, pavel krotov, coach Louka and mark Wildman.
    Some more on your list I will now be following. Thanks as always Gregory 👊😎🙏

    Not going to lie, i started kettlebell training 2 years ago and during that i needed some "help" so to speak on how exactly to use it(kettlebell) properly for the most benefit.
    Your channel and Kat's Kettlebell Dojo were the first two i came across. Been subbed to you two since then.
    I don't think i would still be doing kettlebell training if i had not have came across you or Kat's channel.

    Another great video.. As you got me with best and worst and saw pavel in the worst lol..and like pavel says there is no such thing as weak on strong and stronger so there is good kettlebell coaches and better ones I guess. I have to be honest but my kettlebell is my favourite coach as you have to watch your kettlebell and know where it is while using it respect the kettlebell no matter what weight it is . My kettlebell has tought me a lot... A kettlebell is for life not just for Christmas.. The kettlebell always wins..

  • @Szpakish
    @Szpakish ปีที่แล้ว

    Pavel Tsatsouline because he introduces mine in the kettlebell base (and unfortunately killed all the fun of training). Chandler Marchman because thanks to him I got back into kettlebell after I quit the gym and his routines are very good for people my size and I started training in circuits which I never did before. It also brought back the fun of training for me. And Lebe Stark because he simplifies training and something a 40 year old guy like me (slightly burnt out) expects :). In addition, Lebe puts his whole heart into what he does and his knowledge and technique are impressive. Another plus is online training together, which gives motivation. I look forward to further development of the 5x5 training with kettlebells in your videos. I have some issues now and 5x5 has always worked well as a workout to restore passion and general fitness. Thanks greetings.
    P.S. English is not my primary language, sorry for any grammatical errors.

    Cool video. I liked the part about adding the popular names under the "worst" label. 😀I've been on the KB train for almost 3 years and have learned alot from this channel. Thanks for all the great videos.
    So I started with Pavel and reading Simple and Sinister. I picked up some great technique and programming tips from Marc Wildman early on. As I got more comfortable I started doing Eric Leija's workouts, his mobility work is a great addition. Eric's technique is flawless and he's a good instructor. I found you through a reddit post and immediately loved your Stark Style workouts. I heard you say in one of your videos "don't be afraid find your own style" which is one of the most important things I've heard about KBs. I still do your workouts consistently along with Mike from Precision Kettlebells. Levi Markwardt also is a beast and posts great workouts.

    No Mark Wildman?? I smell some serious professional jealousy there!
    Mark is the only one who has videos of every kettlebell movement with excruciating detail, how to build your workout program (Nerd Math) combined with the concept that you can do your workout anywhere whether in the gym or at 10,000 ft in the Sierras. Throw in the mace and club work and you have a complete package.
    I watch Mark to hone my kettlebell skills I watch your channel for entertainment....

    I think Sean Mosin (Agatsu) doesn't get enough love so I was pleased to see Sean mentioned! There isn't really a reason to only do "hardstyle" or "sport style", there is high tension and low tension and you do the one that helps you with your specific goals. I love switching back and forth within the same workout even. Anyhow, great list!

    I would put #1 as Denis Vasilev once you get past basics. Steve Cotter after that. For just exposure to the entire kettlebell world, Gregory’s podcast is top. Dan John is #1 for learning how to train as you age. For me, I care most about kettlebell sport, so Vasilev is number one - for me. It might be somebody else for you. For beginners, Gregory is absolutely number one.

    Awesome video Gregory!
    I have a feeling this was the upcoming video idea that you alluded to in your reply to my comment on your Dwayne Johnson video a couple days ago. I love this fantastic panel of experts you introduce here and I am going to have to go check out the one's I hadn't heard of before today!
    My kettlebell journey (like many other's) started with Crossfit, in 2002. I was actually given my introductory technique by Lauren Glassman (at the time, not sure if she changed her name after the split). No disrespect to her or Crossfit, but unfortunately it was a rushed 5 minutes of instruction before a workout and then they handed me a 24kg bell and said go! I have subsequently spent years correcting and improving my technique with the help of enthusiastic friends, Pavel's books, and TH-cam videos from Strong First and RKC instructors.
    I found your channel last year, and I really enjoy your energy and positivity! Keep up the solid work and don't let the algorithm get you down!

    what a great list! And thank you for all the conversations you've brought to us. I particularly enjoyed the one with John DuCane, as someone on the old DD forum back in the early 2000's it was a real eye opening behind the scenes of how the whole movement came to be. Steve Cotter is a legend from the hardstyle and GS world, and I am currently working with Denis who is amazing. I was, am, and will always be a big fan of Pavel. He was very generous to me once when he didn't have to be, and I've never heard him speak poorly of anyone, even when they speak poorly of him. Thank you Gregory for such great interviews, you are really establishing yourself in the kettlebell and fitness world. I think what makes you such a success and I am sure a great coach is your willingness to learn from everyone. P.S. I would love to see a conversation with Taco Fleur of Caveman training, he is a great coach and a great guy. God bless and keep it up.
