Hi Rick
Thanks for the great service with the kettlebells. Ive been training with the kb's for about a year now. Previously I was strictly body weights full stop. With my previous training I got to 75 push ups, 200 squats and a dead lift of 80kgs. After the arrival of the 16kg kb I ceased this program to concentrate on the kb exercises as demonstrated of the pavel DVD. After a month I was ready to purchase the 24. After a further two months of training with nothing but the kb,s I decided to try my old program to see if the claims of transfered strength were all they were cracked up to be. The results: 200 pushups, 500 squats and a dead lift of 130kgs! all this with a strict diet of swings and snatches with a weight of 24kgs! truly amazing! Also a drop of 20kgs of body weight. At 29 I am fitter, stronger and leaner than when I was 18. Not a bad effort. This has allowed me to make leaps and bounds in speed and technique in my sport of judo. I am now up to the 32kg kb which has resulted with an even larger jump in strengh without an inch of size gain.
My core program is
5 x 5 in all pushes and presses
5 x 10 in all swings and snatches
simple and effective, im not concerned with anything more complex. I got my results with sweat only.
Anyway thanks again
