I am so fking tired of Kettlebell YouTubers spouting nonsense like 'Do this KB complex for 20 minutes to get excellent physique' while clearly having a bodybuilder physique that must have been result of hundreds of hours of non Kettlebell exercises.

Most of these fitness influencers are disingenuous about what they take - it definitely not just creatine. :ROFL:
 
I was doing KB swings with 24Kg kettlebell and was taking a break and my son comes along and nearly deadlifts that thing with half decent form. His weight is 26Kg. I asked him WTH and he said he tried my 12Kg KB when it was in garage and found it to be light. LOL.

They have to come up with some "new" stuff all the time to try stay relevant.
The bottom line, is that almost everyone could just do the same simple routine and build a good physique, but where is the money in that, how will they sell you their programs or get you to watch their channel.
They are also mostly on gear or have been recently, I dont care, I used to take gear, but I dont sell fake dreams to people and create unrealistic expectations.
Lastly the edits, they only show you the best of themselves, with great lighting and a pump. People really underestimate how drastically different you can look under different lighting and different times of the day

Very much so, he was a wealth of research information and although I think his Gorilla mind brand has had some garbage products with ineffective ingredients / dosing, overall he was pretty good for telling it like it is.
vigorous steve is another who offers incredibly good information regarding all sorts of supplements, info and gear

None of the KB popularizers like Dan John, Pavel, Mike Wildman, Gregory have sculpted bodies and never had as far as I have seen on their YT channels. I am sure muscles react to progressive load so it must be possible to do it but I really doubt if they do it only using KB's.

Yip but there are some genuine YT content creators that show the difference just few hours can make but these are mostly ladies.

Haven't come across any male content creator showing his paunch yet.
:cool:
 
Trying to progress from single hand 16Kg kettlebell press to 24Kg kettlebell press but without buying 20Kg is a challenge.

I am looking to use resistance bands to see if that helps. Don't want to clutter house/garage with new weights or anything really. Trying to be as minimalistic as possible.

You could try doing slow overhead presses with the 16kg - 5 or 10 seconds up and down. Increasing time under tension will increase the difficulty. When you can do sets of 1 or 2 reps with the 24 you can build from there.

Good idea. I pushed up 24Kg with both hands yesterday and tried some assisted negatives. One day, I will get there.

I found out that non dominant hand seems easier than dominant one. Crazy.
:cool:

I write with my left I hand, when it comes to sports, I favour my right hand - right side is stronger.
