Yeah, this is true for beginners. I remember when I started doing heavy goblet/kettlebell front rack squats. In the beginning, yes, my arms gave out before my legs. However, after practice, this isn't the case at all. It's almost always my legs that get roasted before my upper body.
What he is saying is true for MOST people, and if you want to build massive legs like in his world of body building the KB is not the best tool for the job for many of the reasons he talks about.. I still use exclusively KB and the sort just two different tools for different outcomes
@@ferumcastrum4097 I completely agree and I do probably hundreds of KB squat variations a week! And I whole heartedly support the goblet/front squat camp, it’s functional and at 41 I have never squated anything with n my back lol. But they are different things for different goals and one or the other shouldn’t be shunned and or put down
Like you both. Your content some years ago while I Covid lead me to getting a Kettlebell certification. As someone who had done 140-160 double dumbbell Goblet squats and KB Goblet squats the grip is most important comfortability is key.
Literally all I could think of watching that video lol Most of his points are still valid but there are better ways of performing a Goblet Squat than doing an isometric bicep curl
I've been this workout pretty regularly for two or three weeks now. Maybe it's a silly question, but do I just do this workout until I find it too easy? Edit: I forgot to say how much I appreciate this info. It's great!

I agree with Mark's approach. Not putting on a diet change at the beginning will have a huge increase in the chance of changing lifestyle. Diet change can be very stressful and it often fails so the person gets depressed and will crave unhealthy foods, it's cyclical. Also focusing on physical effort changes brain chemistry, more endorphins which will be a major pillar of success for sticking to a healthy diet after.
Gotta be honest this was a filler video cause you didn’t really say anything other than there is research which is contradictory to conventional wisdom, you yourself didn’t say whether you have implemented any of the info into your training modalities or that you agree or disagree, and it wasn’t stunning. I think had you even drawn a conclusion yourself and given your thoughts it would have at least had a point. Should have been concluded with keep on doing your kettlebell training regardless cause it just works. I have been watching you for several years now so not new to your channel but this was really a filler video.
Hi lebe I’ve just been listening to your podcast with bioneer this morning on my way back from work. It was fantastic brilliant to listen too. Ive been following you both for sometime. What a great listen. I loved the part when you talked about the gate keepers on RU-vid. It does make me laugh when people say you need to certified at this and that or you shouldn’t be doing it or practicing it. How the heck did each individual learn to walk. You stood up wobbled and fell down. Got back up and got better and better you didn’t get a certificate. I also loved the bit about not specialising. I’ve been working with kettlebells for 15 to 20 years I’m 55 years old very fit and injury free. Love your videos and work keep posting my good man 😘😘
Hey, Greg! Congratulations on your channel. It has helped me greatly in keeping myself in shape. I would like to ask you something. Could you make a follow along of these two workouts? They are really helpful! I want to join this challenge and the follow along format is great to keep us at it.
Thank you. This seems like a great program to try, I just turned 43 and needed guidance to get started, this doesn't seem that overwhelming for a beginner. Thanks also for the nutrition information.
It's a shame that you only deal with the kettlebell and don't give space to tools like the macebell or clubbell, which the kettlebell will never replace (and at the same time, the clubbell and macebell don't replace the kettlebell in certain exercises)...
@@cocovasquez1 You have a strange "fetish", which is the glorification of the only non-conventional strengthening tool. Minimalism in exercise is detrimental. You're missing out on a lot if you don't include exercises with clubbells and macebells in your workout (even if only two exercises with both mentioned instruments are enough, so 4) Hello.
@@MarekKE-ei6ec You also miss a lot if you skip on bodyweight and barbells. This channel is focused on kettlebells, though. And that is awesome. I'm sure there are channels that cover these topics you want

I am over 40 and I've been taking my cue from Greg.'s IKFF test. I have a lot of GS experience, so I am trying to complete the test at 32kg. I treat it like a drop set. I start at 32kg and when I cannot go on, I drop to 24kg, and accordingly I drop to 16kg when I have to.
...or simply slow down the negative phase of the movement to e.g. 4 seconds and not too many repetitions will be enough for moderately difficult KTB - because it is time under tension, not the number of repetitions... ;-)
