Weights are weights. And poorly-incremented weights that can't productively be used for most lifts are poorly-incremented weights that can't productively be used for most lifts.

Why do you have a problem with doing squat thrusts and lifting large triangular weights, Fidious?

I've stopped using my barbell and lifting heavy entirely. Kettlebells are no replacement for a barbell if your goal is bodybuilding or maximizing strength but a single kettlebell is good enough to give you a body like Pavel Tsatsouline for the rest of your life while requiring much less time invested per week than the average gym rat and much less space in your home. I will never go back to a barbell again.

Kettlebells are good for the following goals:
- training power production (e.g., for athletics)
- conditioning/staying lean
- endurance
- upper body hypertrophy (use as you would dumbbells)
Kettlebells are ok but not great for the following:
- posterior chain hypertrophy (until the point where you are doing swings of the 203lb for 10x10)
- unilateral stabilization work (e.g., one-handed snatches, one-handed clean and press)
- rotational/anti-rotational work
Kettlebells are not the ideal for:
- linear strength gains
- isolation work
This guy gets it.

Kettle bells are pretty good m8. I find that they complement the lifts you perform with a barbell quite well.

You can use them to develop maximal strength if you have access to heavy enough ones; it's just not the most efficient way to do so. No different then how max lifting isn't the most efficient means of enhancing power or stamina...doesn't mean a 700 lb deadlift won't give you plenty of both. Kettlebells are the other way around. It all adds to the same bucket, just in different proportions. Kettlebells have the advantage of being a lot more convenient and time efficient if you purchase them. They're very practical all around for general fitness.
If you really want to use them for strength, you should focus on strict pressing and heavy swings. A t handle works better for the latter imo though. If you have the ability to use one, it's just as good if not better than a deadlift for general P chain strength imo.

seems like a good way to fuck up your wrists.
With every roll that happens at the top of the lift, his hands jump a bit, which seems unhealthy to me.

I've been using them for loaded carries. Farmer's walks, waiter's walks, goblet carry, double racked carry, etc. It works a lot of muscles and is a fun break from boring barbell/dumbell work.

I use them to warm up my wrists

That looks insane to balance

KBs are my weapon of choice. Recently upgraded to a 24kg and it's tough.
I did the 10,000 swing in 10 days challenge on T-Nation a few years ago with a 20kg and that was just nasty.

It isn't too bad. If anything you have to get your hands nice and calloused. Otherwise your hands will getting ripped apart.
