Loving this series! I'm mainly a kettlebell guy because I'm a dad and a full time teacher. I know I won't get to the gym, so kettlebells in my yard is something I can stay consistent with. I do a lot of these already, but not all of them and I'm adding them to my repertoire!
Love kettlebells. My current favourite is Dan John’s armour building complex. Double KBs, two cleans, one press, three squats, on the minute, every minute. Ten or fifteen minutes and you have a serious full-body workout with a sgnificant cardio component.
Do that complex with a barbell and a log bar, yet I came up with a more superior complex. I call it mail building. You need two kettlebells and two clubbells. Do the 2cleans1press3front squats, then clean your clubs to the rack position, do two pull overs, one Thor press, 3 caveman squats (1.0), or, with heavier clubs, do two sweeps, 1 pull over, and 3 caveman squats (2.0). I also made a mail polishing routine to polish techniques
@@drip369 There’s a considerable overlap between those two very general terms. It gets your hr up for an extended period and with the one minute repetitions is a form of interval training. It will benefit your cardiovascular system. “Cardio” is a broad church.
5:55 I noticed after doing Turkish Getups that is was a lot easier for me to get up off the ground when working under my car. Maybe that's silly, but it sold me on the movement.
One thing I began doing with my farmer and suitcase carries is I slightly turn my hands outward so my palms are facing a little more forward. I found this does 2 things: 1. It puts the center of the kb slightly behind my thigh so it doesn't bump the side of my thigh every step and 2. Perhaps more importantly, it opens up my shoulders slightly and counters my screen-watching shoulder slump.
I like turkish get ups as a means to measure any weakness in muscles. Because the movement is controlled and engages so many different muscles, imbalances in muscles can be found quickly. After changing up workouts to address observations, more get ups can be used to measure progress.
TGU is a great movement that I use as a warm up in every class - it is both the assessment and the cure if used as an exercise NOT a lift - don’t worry about the weight but focus on maximizing RoM and stability in each phase. Great video
One perhaps not so obvious thing I love Adam for is the sheer number of other amazing content creators he recommends. Eero from VAHVA fitness has changed my life, Aaron from Squat University is a must for everyone, No Limit Squad is basically the standard of overcoming Isometrics channels. The newest additions to my list are Original Strength and KarateTV. Thank you, Adam.
Previous weightlifter, strongman, and mma fighter who has transitioned over to Kettlebells and I’m really liking this routine. New to your channel and hope to see a lot more of the Kettlebell routines!! Keep them coming please! Thank you!!!
Thanks for the content! About the Turkish get up, you have some untapped gains in mobility in the half-kneeling section. If you rotate your kneeling leg more so that you can sit down into a hip hinge, you will gain more control and avoid flexing your lower spine to make space under the weight. In isolation, that part of the lift is a half-kneeling windmill, and as you know the windmill utilizes the hip hinge and not flexion of the spine. When people don’t hip hinge in the get up because of their leg position (even big kettlebell youtubers do this), they tend to bend their lower back and fall or tip over to reach the ground with the other hand. Play around with it and you’ll get more enjoyment and use of the get up!
I noticed that as well. I also think it would be better to go onto your toes when doing the reverse lunge after standing. Adam flattens out his foot and touches the top of it to the ground. Your toes act as a kick-stand in that position, which makes it easier to perform.
6:00 Doctor Mike is great for hypertrophy-focused content, but he seems to seriously believe that 100% of people who work out want to be bodybuilders. He doesn't seem to devote a moment's thought to skills and functional movements for athleticism or quality of life. His material is useful for what it is, but I prefer channels like this one and various other calisthenics or hybrid channels.
I'm not surprised Dr Mike said he didn't like Turkish get ups, but I am surprised he said it wasn't necessary to learn to stand to base in BJJ. Supposedly he's a brown belt.
Today, I was doing single leg RDLs into a briefcase carry, backwards then forwards, then switch sides all while on a 6in wide curb with a 30lbs kettlebell. It works multiple muscles.
Just a big shout out the Mr Bioneer. Watching regularly from New Zealand, lost 15kg weight, got very fit and feel great at 47 years old. If you read this, can you do some diet videos. Thanks mate.
I do bodyweight- and barbell exercises but I am not that much into kettlebells until now and I have learned a lot from your videos. Thank you and greetings from Finland.
Do a turkish get up, then a bent press, a windmill, an OHP, lower the bell to the rack positipn and get down into a 90/90 get up. That's a series I love to do, and can do it with my 60lb kettlebell. I call it the Norseman
Thank you for sharing this information. I can wait to see what else you can do with kettlebells, for all aspects of fitness and health. Thanks k you for doing what you do!
I love kettlebells, i also swing bells over 200lbs, yet combining them with clubbells is top shelf, as is training kettlebells days you train with clubbells and macebells. Yes, i train with a kettlebell in one hand, and a steel club in the other.
I use a little kettlebell work as a supplement to my skills. Definitely a worthy investment I agree with Mike about TGU for strength but also think it's worth doing for stability and just getting better at standing in base. Sometimes you do have to get up in base under load. Where people fall off if they brogram it for core strength and aren't challenging themselves in that area as much as if they included direct core work. KB presses (or clean & presses) in any variation are a money exercise. High rep swings can be a substitute for carries as grip/forearm work. Single leg RDLs are nice to throw in a warm up.

Great vid! I love KB training, look forward to the next one. Word of warning to anyone thinking about barefoot shoes for daily commutes etc. I gave myself achillies tendonitis in both ankles from the pounding they took, despite doing some research into how to adjust gait to acount for the heel strike etc. Take it easy with these.
Kettlebells are especially good for older people. I can't link the study because it seems TH-cam is deleting comments with links in them (or it least mine) but there was a study with older people doing the kettlebell swing (with what most people would consider fairly light kettlebells) that got interrupted by Covid (and thus the participants continued their kettlebell workouts in isolation without supervision.) An unintended result was that despite a wide range of form (correct to incorrect) there were no injuries amongst the participants. I'd never advise anyone to ignore proper form, but it turns out that kettlebell swings are very forgiving until you get to a tipping point in the weight of the kettlebell.
Hello, can you tell me what the name of the authors are for this study please? Or is there a date of when the paper was published? I'd like to read it myself. Thank you
Thank you, thes exercises will do very nicely. I am training for not just longevity but also strength that will last me when I'm well into old age as I have a history of chronic illnesses
Thank you for doing this bud, starting my kettle bell work outs today now because we have them, I just never use em. Thanks to you now I can have excellent moves to begin with.
Single leg rdl's train a really useful movement. I use this technique when I need to lift something that, because of where it is, I can't lift it with the normal proper lifting technique. I also taught it to a friend who has medical issues that wouldn't let them bend at the waist normally. They had to train it, but they were so excited that they wouldn't be dependant on others to pick things up off the floor for them.
@@TheBioneer your life of fitness child hood why you got into exercise what's your training methodology why you like kettle bells training while ageing and your diet phew topics of the top of my head and he's nice guy would be nice to here bounce off each other get on there dam it 😄
I don't know why I started doing to, but if I'm not using my heaviest weight, I like going into tree pose (from yoga) at the top of my TGUs. Time in this pose is the one thing I vary based on my energy levels for the day.
Just finished a supreme kettlebell workout. Went to the park on a Saturday so of course all the fields were taken by losers who weren’t training. Like little kids playing baseball, people walking their dogs, families “just hanging out” pretending to love each other. spits Disgusting. I dragged my weights into the woods and got all that loser piggy baby weakness out of me. Cleans, press, rows, tricep extensions, swings. Followed by an hour of rigorous wrestling drills. Lift weights. Forgo your family. Leave your children. Lift weights. Become your best self. Never stop training. Achieve godhood. Lift weights.
Would be interesting to see a functional fitness take on knights covering all of their skills. Their literacy and dance/etiquette, French as a second language, horse riding, throwing, field exercises etc. Then maybe its application in modern HEMA and how to physically prepare for it with minimal injury
I understand that there are only 24 hours in a day and only 168 hours in a week, but I think you gave a little space to the clubbell in your training...

Who else thought this was perfect timing bcs they wanted a kettle bell routine or exercise
Dude, spot on with this. That’s exactly what’s happening right now on my end.
Me honestly 😅
😂my gym just added a bunch of heavier kettle bells (not just the 15 and 35lbs), so I am I looking for some ways to use them.
If you have mastered the fundamental movements, look up man makers, it's also killer
I just brought a kettle bell lol

Absolutely. It has very good carry over with a series of movement we do every day.
One thing I began doing with my farmer and suitcase carries is I slightly turn my hands outward so my palms are facing a little more forward. I found this does 2 things: 1. It puts the center of the kb slightly behind my thigh so it doesn't bump the side of my thigh every step and 2.
