The classic or original kettlebell set comprised 16, 24, and 32kg kettlebells. While 8 and 12kg kettlebells were available early on, the original set was the only option for some time. The large eight-kilogram jumps in weight presented a challenge when someone was used to 2.5-to-5-pound increments between loads with dumbbells and barbells. A 17.6-pound jump between kettlebell sizes can seem daunting, but it forced a version of step loading that had real benefits. With a moderate load, you build technique, volume, and density until you can be successful at the next kettlebell size. In our latest article, Vic Verdier, StrongFirst Certified Team Leader, delves into the use of specialized variety drills for the kettlebell military press. These drills are designed to bridge the gap between larger weight increments, offering a unique approach to kettlebell training. |
