BEWARE Kettlebellers...Training Sport Methods Makes You Weak...NOT!



I have to laugh to myself when I am constantly reminded that forays in lifting kettlebells in a method similar to GS or KB sporting athletes makes you weak.

I have mentioned it before, but it is always ironic to me that a lifter will adopt a "sporting" method when they want to get stronger in a powerlifting movement or a weightlifting movement regardless if they intend to compete or not...., but one is deemed "misguided" when they adopt GS sporting method to get strong on a kettlebell.  The strongest and most accomplished kettlebellers come from a sporting background.  That alone should be a lesson unto itself.

Yes weak, that is what I'd call someone who can snatch a 32kg bell for 232reps, the new record recently set by Denisov.
