Sure do. I love a kettlebell workout! (although I didn't realise this was called a Russian kettlebell swing lol. I do this often during my fitness workout class.
Excellent! The original movement is a swing to or about shoulder height. This is the Russian swing, the American version is a swing up almost overhead. From what I have read the Russian version is actually better, less chance for injury.

Yeah I would probably do myself a massive injury trying to lift it overhead Do you do other kettlebell exercises too?
I use them as I would a dumbell. But as for kettlebell specific routines, yes, I do some. Racked squats are really tough! Halos are also great for the shoulders.
Kettle bell can have some benefaction.

In general wont work, They have to stop. Domonz X is ready to lead the charge.

Not really sure what that means or where you got this information. The Russian Kettlebell swing is acknowledged as one of the best singular excesses you can do for overall health. It works over 200 muscles.
I haven't tried doing the kettleball swings. I've seen them done at the gym. Yes, the Russian version seems much safer. And my wife does the Russian style at the gym and at home. I do believe she enjoys doing them much better at the gym with an audience. She's got a strong exhibitionistic side.

Hey, now that's motivation! You lucky guy.

Acknowledged by who?

It's a fad... marketed by companies trying to make a buck by appealing to people that "get bored easily" with exercise that actually works.

Let me know if you want some tips. Although, I'm sure my 13 years of post secondary education will probably pale in comparison to the article you read in "Men's Health while you were sitting on the toilet.

If you would like to break down the inaccuracies of that exercise, please let me know.

Oh, did I bruise your ego, son? 13 years post-secondary education... Hahaha... Oh, now you're a doctor but your original post was like something from a third world country. A fad... Yeah, right... The Russians have been doing it for decades!

Go back and play with your Walmart rubber dumbells and leave the weights to the guys with arms bigger then ketchup bottles! Tips from a puny soyboy... I'm good!

BTW, if you weren't so pissy like a teenage soyboy I wouldn't have been rude to you... You picked the path.

Well, it seems that I bruised yours... That fact that you called me "soy boy" and the fact that you have yet to post a pic of your self indicates that you are probably a middle aged fat guy that just go fleeced from a door to door salesman selling you fat burners and kettlebells.

Tell you what... post a pic of yourself, or give me your education credentials. Then maybe I'll speak to you like I'm you're actually on my level.

PS... I have a few extra TRX that I can sell you for really cheap.....

I don't have to prove anything to anyone, especially a soy boy!

It's called confidence, try and get some.

"Domonz X is ready to lead the charge."

This has to be the most egotistical thing I've ever read on a blog... Yeah, we're all lining up for your leadership... Hahaha... You didn't even spell your own screen name correctly... Big education there... Can you get a refund from your community college???

Hahaha...
Chill your boots fellas. This is a health and fitness thread where people want to read the benefits of exercise not a testosterone fuelled bitchfest.

I, for one, enjoy this exercise. It's a great body workout which burns loads of calories too. Gets a thumbs up from me.

I have no issue with being civil... For the record, I was not the one who started the rude dialog. If Mr. 13 years of education had anything to offer he would have explained why it's not a good exercise rather then be insulting. He also went and tracked down other comments and posts I've made and was insulting on them as well. A real educated blog stawker.

I've said all I have to say!
Alright... let's talk about Russian kettlebell swings.


First of all, this is a momentum based movement. You're using the most powerful muscles in your body to move a relatively small amount of weight. The larger the reliance on momentum to move the weight, the less actual work is being performed by the muscles.

For some reason these type of exercises are trendy these days. (Like those stupid swinging chin-ups they do in Crossfit)

So the first part of the movement is accomplished by extension of the hips and knees via the gluteus maximus and quadriceps respectively. Like I said, those are the largest and strongest muscles in the body. Then you rely on momentum to complete the movement because the anterior deltoid and coracobrachialis (which perform frontal glenohumeral flexion) are not strong enough to lift the weight.

So on one hand you are using a weight that does very little for your legs, and a weight that is too heavy for your shoulders. You are moving the weight from point A to point B, but you are doing it in a way that puts very little stress on any of the working muscles.

So what are they good for?

Well, if you're just looking to burn calories or using them in some kind of circuit where the overall goal is generic energy expenditure then I guess they can provide that.

Any questions?

I really don't believe you'd expect me or anyone else to read what you have to say after proving yourself to be so immature. I have zero interest in anything you have to say now. Didn't read it and wouldn't if you had a gun to my head.

And if anyone, including the moderators have a problem with that, it's just that their problem!
One more thing; before anyone puts stock in anything I or anyone else has to say about this movement just do a Google search on "Benefits of the Russian Kettlebell swing" and spend some time reading what professional athletes, trainers and doctors say about it.

You might also do a search on "What doctors say about the Russian Kettlebell swing" as well as its history.

Before starting any regiment like this talk to your doctor.

I don't think anyone uses a kettlebell to gain muscle... Plus swings aren't the only exercise you can do with one. But yeah the point is to get your heart rate up.

You're just making things up to get mad at. It's really weird.

Well said, thank you!

A simple Google search yields boatloads of information by professionals on the swing. Professionals with real credentials!

The kettlebell swings are just one part of my wife's routine. I don't have any interest in adding that to my routine. I get plenty of cardio already. For muscles, at this time l work out to maintain the strength and muscle tone l have, not get any bigger.

Of course... Why look at actual scientific knowledge by professionals when you can consult google...

"and spend some time reading what professional athletes, trainers and doctors say about it. "

Exactly my point.

If you like me to give you some info on how to slim up that midsection as well, let me know. smile

I'd suggest you stay out of anything relating to physical fitness. It's not your bag... The topic of the thread is "russian kettlebell swings." So I addressed that topic. If you want to bring up any other kettlebell exercise go ahead.
