Dorian is a humble athlete even after winning several Olympia contests. One has to listen to some of his interviews and appreciate his knowledge. With age he's demonstrating one has to change training methods and this comment about kettlebells backs my experience now that I do stretching and kettlebells only.
What i love about the kettlebell is the efficiency.. I can manage a good workout in just 10-40 minutes (I try to include some stretching as cooldown also, but if 10 min is all i get thats not possible) Also feels like the kettlebell gives me great preparation for everyday activities But the time efficiency is really key.. There is no way i can take 1-2 hours even 3 times a week to get to the gym (Even with a 40 min workout it still takes up to 2 hours to get there and back) whereas the kettlebell is so accesible I am still kind of a newbie and trying to master the form of simple exercises yet but man i love it.. I love how it makes me feel, both during the workout but afterwards aswell.. All the best!
I can't stretch out how kettlebells are great tool for general fitness preparation. I study at the military university and I have always been against running. I hated it. We do all the types of running exercises - from 100m sprint to 10 km endurance run. I've always struggled with shorter distances/faster tempo runs and was more in favour of longer distance runs with tempo around 5mins/1 km. What's fascinating is after year and half of kettlebell training during quarantine and then under strong first gym without training running I managed to up my tempo to 4:30 - 4:45 on km and managed to complete all the short runs in given times without any problem. But what is more fascinating is how big of a difference Cooper test feels like. Cooper is 12 min run where you have to run as long distance as possible. It's a fusion of endurance and speed all together. Before quarantine my best was 2600m. It was the bare minimum. After quarantine I managed to up my record to 2900m. It's incredible. My current max is 36kg on TGU, swing 2handed hardstyle 56 kgs (50 in 10 mins) or 48 (100 in 10 mins) for comparison. Snatch hardstyle 24kgs - 90 in 5 mins. I started on 16kgs in TGUs and 24kgs on swings.
I do 150 pushups and 15 - 25 minutes 10 kg. kettbell daily and 20 pullups twice a week. I do it from 3 months and I wll buy 16 kg kettelbell in December. You don't need a heavy one for start.
I am new to KB and I am not sure if it can build visible muscles like the way body builders develop using other weight training equipment. It probably buids extraordinary explosive strength. I will give it a try over next year and find out.
I tried bodybuilding, gave it a good three months and gained 20lbs (about half lean, half fat based on BF measurements) and I just don't like it as much as my KB training. So, I've gone back to just KB
I workout twice a day now. In the morning I do 1.5 hours of kettlebells, in which sometimes single sometimes double kettlebell burpees and one of your ladder workouts. I switch to Spartans on Saturdays, and at night I do weight training at the outside gym. I can’t believe how strong I am now. I can do multiple reps of 110kg DL without the waist belt easy. The fact that you said that kettlebell training has a positive impact on other training’s is so true. Once again, thank you.
Recently had back spasms after moving house, so I unpacked a 14kg kettlebell and ran an EMOM of 20 swings/min for 6 minutes. Swing EMOMs are usually 10/min, so this was twice that. It was vicious. Hard to describe. I did it 7-8 times; it became easier, albeit still awful. I believe i could have pushed it to 200 swings in 10 minutes, even with 20kg. 24kg maybe, if you gave me a few weeks. But 300 swings in 10 minutes? Wow! I doubt I could manage that with a 14kg bell. (The spasms were gone for good after 3 days)
Is there a difference between power and strength? Know some people who say that you can't build strength with kettlebells, only endurance. Side note, I'm a huge kettlebell nerd. Basically my main thing but I'm not a coach. (Also, if any one reads this and needs a good program, 90 Gainz of Kettlebells is a super good and fun! Love it!)
Yes there is Werner! Strength = Maximum force a muscle can produce against resistance. Power = Maximum force the muscle can produce in the shortest amount of time. Power is analogous to explosiveness. 90 GKB for the win brother! 😃 - Gregory
If you can't build strenght then you must be doing nothing 😄 Lift 0kg Anything else gives you strenght , it's just logic If you chop wood all day with a small or big axe it's also no big weight but it will give you strenght 100 % 😂
I watched 2 CZcams videos with Dorian? doing one-handed swings. One video has textbook form whereas the second video is utilizing upper body strength- no glute or hip connection. He's swinging that kettlebell like a toy. (Maybe too light?)
Generally you can do 36-37 swings per minute and his goal was 300 swings in 10-10.5 minutes … so, if you can survive 4.5 minutes without putting the kb down, rest for 1 min then continue … that would be about right. He said that bodybuilders could only do 5 minutes before they couldn’t take it anymore … which would be about right 😂
My yoga teacher has done a few trainings with Dorian. He always brings back really great insights into the human experience. Dorian is special.
Thanks for sharing! - Gregory

He‘s continuing to provide great advice; there‘s a lot to learn from the legend! - Gregory

So true, as pavel says the getup is weighted yoga.
Exactly! - Gregory

Thanks for sharing brother! Great to hear another story where the kettlebell greatly provided benefit to another sport/ routine! 💪 - Gregory
There is a big difference between being strong and looking strong.
Functional muscles vs vanity muscles
I do 150 pushups and 15 - 25 minutes 10 kg. kettbell daily and 20 pullups twice a week. I do it from 3 months and I wll buy 16 kg kettelbell in December. You don't need a heavy one for start.
That's the sort of thing I'm aming for. And great going keep at it.
I am new to KB and I am not sure if it can build visible muscles like the way body builders develop using other weight training equipment. It probably buids extraordinary explosive strength. I will give it a try over next year and find out.
Revisiting this vid, ... awesome info ... after doing kettlebells for some time now this vid makes more sense. Thnx Coach👊
Great to hear!
I tried bodybuilding, gave it a good three months and gained 20lbs (about half lean, half fat based on BF measurements) and I just don't like it as much as my KB training. So, I've gone back to just KB
Thanks for sharing! - Gregory
300 KB swings a day is a superb workout.
I workout twice a day now. In the morning I do 1.5 hours of kettlebells, in which sometimes single sometimes double kettlebell burpees and one of your ladder workouts. I switch to Spartans on Saturdays, and at night I do weight training at the outside gym.

Let's go brother! - Gregory
It is performance primary rather than only superficial aesthetics. Cheers
Amen!
Moved 4 tonnes of weight with snatches in 20 minutes this morning. 20kg 100 reps each arm. If that doesn't build muscle, nothing will.
I will try it for sure !!! My first thought is to use 24kg but i wouldn't be surprised if i need a smaller bell in the field!!
I did it unbroken with a 20 kg bell. Videos is coming soon on the channel. - Gregory
The Bioneer did a similar video on this concept of functional training vs specialised training.
The Bioneer is great.
The Bioneer has some serious content up! Great stuff! Thanks for sharing! - Gregory
Take 2 kb to 32kg and prove to make 10 minutes longe cycle …… and after tell me…… wheigt lift is for guys Kettlebell sport is for man 😄🇮🇹💪🏻
So true i managed 50 it killed me but loved it, with a 20kg dumbell
Get Dorian on the podcast!
Just sent DY nutrition an invite! Fingers crossed; prayers are up! :-D - Gregory
Hi, in this workout, what type of swing is he talking about? Hardstyle or sportstyle? Or hybrid,😋?
You can do all three; with different rest intervalls! - Gregory
Recently had back spasms after moving house, so I unpacked a 14kg kettlebell and ran an EMOM of 20 swings/min for 6 minutes.
Swing EMOMs are usually 10/min, so this was twice that.

Hi Lebe, I like doing floorpress and woodchop exercises in my kettlebell workout... what are your thoughts on these two exercises?
Big fan of Floor Press. Woodchop not as much; I prefer the Windmill. - Gregory
Thank you, for your reply.
Great video... Any thoughts what weight kettlebells Dorian was using?
About the weight of the moon.
Since he mentioned one armed swings and hes quite a big&strong fellow id guess in the range of 20-28kg.

Know some people who say that you can't build strength with kettlebells, only endurance.

Yes there is Werner!

@@lebe-stark Thanks for the eplanation Gregory! And yes, 90 GKB for the win! :)
If you can't build strenght then you must be doing nothing 😄
Lift 0kg
Anything else gives you strenght , it's just logic
If you chop wood all day with a small or big axe it's also no big weight but it will give you strenght 100 % 😂
I watched 2 CZcams videos with Dorian? doing one-handed swings. One video has textbook form whereas the second video is utilizing upper body strength- no glute or hip connection. He's swinging that kettlebell like a toy. (Maybe too light?)
Hi my kettlebells how up to 20kg max . Will this be enough for a decent kettlebell workout ?
Most definitely! - Gregory
How much rest time between each set of 15 on each side? 2 seconds per rep is a minute so it's 1 set per minute. Suggestions?
Generally you can do 36-37 swings per minute and his goal was 300 swings in 10-10.5 minutes … so, if you can survive 4.5 minutes without putting the kb down, rest for 1 min then continue … that would be about right. He said that bodybuilders could only do 5 minutes before they couldn’t take it anymore … which would be about right 😂
The bigger question is what weight is he using? 🤔
Will provid a Dorian Yates style kettlebell swing workout asap! - Gregory
