Sometimes I get the feeling that some people think I make too big a deal about using DD bells exclusively. Today a trainer friend of mine Ivan e-mailed me about how one of his clients was doing snatches with a kettlebell from play it again sports (you know the brand) and the freaking handle broke off! Hey, this stuff does actually happen. Dave Whitley Senior RKC just had a blog post up about how the handle on one of his older off brand kettlebells is starting to come off. Read it here.

I would like to clarify that I am not some weird partisan who can’t tell the difference between day and night. If I’m doing GS work (which I occasionally do) I use GS bells. However, most of my work is hard-style, and so of course I’m using DD bells for that. So they don’t, oh... I don’t know... break in half.

This is a video I put together on basic double kettlebell work.



Today I put up 225 lbs. in the Zercher. Not close to a max yet, but easing into it. I have 255 in me.
