Spot on! Great breakdown. Began implementing kettlebells (and snatch) at 50 yrs old. And at 58 no regrets they have totally "retooled" my body for both strength & flexibility.
Excellent channel and tutorials... As you accentuate, at 59 I'm a living testimonial to extending heathly longevity via kettlebells & functional fitness
It varies widely depending on things like goals, experience, and the overall structure of the training program. Lately I've been doing light snatch work in my warm-ups almost every training session. At other points I've made it a focal point 1-2 sessions per week.
I know that 10 minutes doesn't sound like a lot, but for an exercise like snatches, it really is. If you're working continuously that's hundreds of reps. Depending on your training history, moving quickly to that kind of volume would definitely shred your hands. Starting with say, five sets of five each hand and building from there would help a lot. Doing other types of exercises that involve a lot of grip like deadlifts, chin-ups or bench press can also help develop callouses. Callous management is a big thing too. There are various products that can help, and some people file them down. Never tried that myself though. Hope that helps.
That’s common when learning. Wrist bands can help. So will continued refinement of technique. There’s a way to do it where the bell simply makes contact with the forearm but doesn’t slam it. I can’t explain adequately it in a comment but its a combination of the path of the kb, and dynamic adjustment of grip.

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video. That's awesome that you discovered KBs at 50 and are still going strong. Thanks for sharing!
What does retooled mean? 😂

how do you not tear your hands up without gloves? lots of chalk helps but i havent been able to get past 10 minutes with 50lbs without blisters.
