    Best kettle bell weight to start with?

    I read most start with the 35lb kb but i was thinking at least the 44lb. what do yo think? How can I determine what would be too much or too little weight to start with?

    It depends on you as to how much the "kettle ball" should weigh. Man you must be way old school, it's always been a medicine ball to me. As in get over here and take your medicine like a man.

    Again, it all depends on you. Only part of the exercise is physical, the other part being mental as to how much it takes to break you. When your mind says stop have your body just keep working. You might be surprised as to what you find..........Rockin'

              I don't. What is wrong with trying something else? What do you suggest?

                rockin, not sure if you're onto what he's talking about. i don't think great granparents were using those things


                bearman, get the 35 to start. them shi ts are HEAVY. you don't need all that much weight with the kb's its all about the form.

                kettlebell turkish gets up are the shiz.

                have you checked on youtube for workouts? there are some core ones that will kill you (besides the obvious shoulder, back, bi and tri).

                if you blow through the 35's go way higher.

                  nothing wrong with that. I was just playing, I was assuming that a kettle ball was like a medicine ball.

                  Wtf is a kettle ball?
